Lineup for Liverpool


-----------Casemeiro---Fred------
---------Pulisic----VDB----Sancho
----------------Felix/Ronaldo------
The most ridiculous part of that prediction is the idea that Van de Beek would start.

I thought this was pie in the sky. Is this actually CasemirON?

It's one thing looking to spend big money on FDJ when at least then you're signing a 25 year old you know suits the manager's approach and you know was the manager's main target from the very start.

Whereas in this case the player is half a decade older, there's no indication whatsoever that he was any sort of primary target for the manager and there would be absolutely zero surprise if he didn't perform as well under ETH as he does for Madrid given the increased emphasis on possession and building out from the back, which aren't strengths he's known for.

If you're spending big money it should be for a player who is central to the manager's plans and definitely fits the intended style of play. Not a latter choice option signed in an atmosphere of desperation to cries of "he's better than what we have".

I'm very sure a lot of the posters who would cheerlead this deal on also cheered on previous flops with the same lack of foresight or alarm at the process behind the signing. And then wonder why the team doesn't turn out so well despite the money spent.

That explains it. Thanks for the heads up. I feel like this is kind of sensationalistic, and I'd like to know what gives JFD this idea, especially since Casemiro's also happy enough to stick around at Real Madrid and the club not necessarily willing to sell the player.
Manchester United offering huge sums of money to both club and player. Otherwise it would not be realistic to speak about it.

As I said in other thread, human beings tend to value more what they don't have. At the end of the day you are offering the guy the possibility to get a much better contract, play in the Premier League and seek new challenges. Maybe Casemiro values that package more than most players because at the end of the day, if he doesn't get successful he won't regret not having won enough when he ends his career.

What do you guys (from the Madrid perspective) reckon will happen?
If United really want him you'll get him.

Sure but you seem to want to just hone in on the negative shit that suits your narrative. Just seems odd.

I’ve said how much of a good player he is. It’s the 5 year deal that’s a massive red flag.

Seriously who is offering a player approaching 31 a 5 year contract it’s madness.

Can't see Carlo let him go. Real would like win La Liga and CL and he's a very important player for them. Can't see why Casemiro would want to join and end his career (without winning anything) in this ruined club...just can't.
We don't need anotherageing player on massive wages.

Anyone defending this madness shouldn't complain when 2 years later we are stuck with a past it player on insane salary and still with 3 years left in his contract.

The financial outlay on this deal is disgraceful if any of what's reported is true. I hope none of it is true and that its purely being pushed by United as a smoke screen to get Barce to force the De Jong deal through.

I would take Casemiro for €20m on a €200k weekly wage, maximum. Should not be paying a penny more.
You and I both know that those numbers are far too sensible but also unrealistic to prize him away. I just feel he won't have the same impact but then again if he has an amazing two years and helps us to consolidate our champions league status, it’ll buy the club and ETH sometime to sort their shit out.

Maybe we decided the Frenkie deadline with the idea of going full on in the market afterwards. Maybe it was always the plan??

Got it. I guess that makes more sense. Let's see how this develops over the next few days.
