PSG and the defending European champions were willing to pay 100m for him, you think Manchester United in 2022 is winning that race??
It's all part of the plan for getting de Jong to sign the dotted line.
Yeah but they did miss a DLP. Think thats more the exception not the rule but as you rightly pointed out and it is also what I was alluding to in my post, it def can work. If we can’t get someone like FDJ, this is literally the next best thing.
I really hope that he actually said that.
Agent: How much are you offering?
Murtough: A lot. LIke, a LOT. Loads.
If you offer Insane wages like to Casemiro he would change his mind.
Casemiro is only going to United because of wages.
This is my worry too. We need young, hungry players ready to step up - not players who are on the come down and want a pay day. How many times do we have to get burned by this before we learn our lesson?
Glazers about to go Bartomeu and load up contracts the new owner has to deal with. What a move.
The team works very hard around him though. We're not there yet.
He wouldn't be going anywhere if he was 25, and we all know it.
Careful, Murtough will want his phone number
I don’t care. We get a much needed dm and his the best in the world atm.
This is a fecking stupid transfer, for the fee and wages involved for a fecking 30 year old defensive mid ffs.
Chelsea signed Makalele when he was 30.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about United trying to get Casemiro, am I in the wrong topic?
Feel free to believe that you're going to get De Jong on top of Casemiro, I'm not convinced.
What I'm saying, and I consider my post very much on topic, is that Casemiro is the best in class with Kroos and Modric and that he looks far less dominant when they're not around, as demonstrated by his somewhat average performances with his NT.
We need a mix.
Staying out of the CL for too long will hinder our recruitment. Getting in someone like this will help us with top 4 and a EL push which in turn brings CL football and provides a bigger, better recruitment pool.
Madrid fans are saying that AranchaMOBILE guy is as legit as they come and doesn't dabble in rumors
He's 30, not 50 ffs.
If he can play even 3 out of the 5 fit and at top level, Il take it
I was initially hesitant but I think this is legit and I think it will happen.
We never fecking learn.
He is
I followed his coverage during the Varane saga. Him, Jose Felix Diaz and Mario Cortegana are the go to people for Real Madrid news
She is a woman. She is mostly reliable, yes.
It’s not ironic: Fred in his element chasing and harassing and not worrying what’s behind him; Casemiro cleans up loose balls, holds position and recycles constantly. They’re a logical and organic partnership. Just need a proper user of the ball amidst them and you’ve got at least an above average midfield. I can’t understand how people wouldn’t want him here.Ironically enough, Fred and him have provided a very balanced midfield partnership for Brazil over the last year or so
Yes United are trying to get Casemiro a World class DM. They will play him as a DM. Absolutely no idea why you started going on about him being no good at building attacks because that’s not what we are buying him for.
This isn’t the alternative to De Jong. The club has indicated that and they are different players.
Like I say, I don’t mind this signing if it’s coupled with another midfielder. De Jong, Savic, anyone. But to throw a not-insignificant fee at a 30 year old when the chances are that’ll be that? I’d rather spread the money around I think.
different play styles and Chelsea didn't pay anywhere near a crazy transfer fee or wages.
30 are the new 27.
£10k a week would be a LOT of money to most people. How do we judge this?
Him being a defensive midfielder is the only point that would actually make this worth it if he came (he won't). I don't understand how some fans repeatedly undervalue the DM position. As important as any on the pitch to balance the team. Without a doubt harder to find then top level attackers
Getting Makelele vibes. 30 is retirement age for a Brazilian though.
I don't understand how we've gone from showing no desire to play with a legit DM through all of preseason and the first two fixtures to being in a panic and spending big money to go and get one.
The noise is very much this will be with another signing.
Two CMs wanted and the De Jong money still ringfenced.
It will be Casemiro and another.
Murtough is basically the perfect replacement for Woodward. Giving players stupid contracts. This club is ran by idiots.
Fernandinho says hi
What could possibly go wrong?
As I said earlier, great player obvs but this speculated fee is ridiculous. 50m was already on the high side. Let alone him actually wanting to come, which would be unlikely.

What's the general feeling on the caf about this one? Signing a guy that's done it all at Real, tail end of his career physically, huge fee, huge wages....what could possibly go wrong?
