Also, shame on Ornstein for putting an article behind a paywall that is essentially ripped off from Ballague's update.

I’m wary of this signing but this is clearly not true. He’s never been better.
You’re like a broken record in every thread.
How do you reckon that, when was his prime?
Balague is a twat. That is all
Spin Spin Spin. At least they tried eh…when the window slams shut with no one else brought in.
this place is insane . "We need a DM, we need some one who can change the way we play right now , we need to spend money on top quality , why do other teams buy such good players and United don't ....etc. etc. "
Do you want Casemiro arguably the best DM in the world ?
"no ,too old and too expensive "
nuts man, nuts .
I would be thrilled to see him play for united! bring in loads of top quality players and who knows we might not suck .

With the double his wages talk, are we at Ronaldo wages then?
Yeah like buying all sorts of supposed quality players has worked really well for us either
Spending 50 million and 400K a week on Casemiro is just symptomatic of the complete dysfunction at the club. Don't care how good Casemiro has been, he's going to be required to essentially save the club's midfield on his own which is night and day to what he was required to do at Madrid. One thing to just win the ball back and pass to Modric and Kroos. Whole different thing to run the midfield, control the game and also shield the defence on your own, all at the same time.
Also, La Liga is walking pace compared to the PL. La Liga is basically exhibition pace football. How quick (both in feet and mind) will Casemiro still be as a 30 year old with a lot of miles on his body already. As great as he was defensively, he already looked like he lost steps last season and two seasons ago. Going to look even worse playing with the likes of McFred and Maguire in by far the fastest and most physical league on the planet.

More on Sancho or Varane wages. So stupidly high.
A lot of money, but looking at what Liverpool pay Salah at a similar age, it's not outrageous at all for the best player in his position
Agreed.
Better than I feared then.
Stupidly high yes, but if he actually earns it on the field I'd be okay with it.
Absolutely 100% this. It's absolute madness.
I mean there will be a hefty fee involved as well, but you could easily argue Casemiro aged 30 for £300k/w is better value than the guys you mentioned
It's amazing how defensive some people get if you express concerns over a deal like this. As if it's a slam dunk that can't possibly go wrong.
I bet many of those same people said the same type of things when we signed Sanchez. "Premier League proven!" "World class attacker!"

Spending 85m and giving him 2m a week is fecking insanity. Yeah sure, I’ve moaned for the last 10 years about needing a DM and he is one of the best in world football but I’d much rather make up figures about how much we’re spending than admit this is one hell of a signing for the upcoming season - and he’s a far better player than any random hipster twat I’ve watched on YouTube.
Please do remind me who Real Madrid beat en route to yet another CL victory
so who should we buy ?
Barca just found another lever.
People actually saying Casemiro is past it at 30 
I think we are overpaying (we are desperate at this stage to get bodies in) but would take him any day of the week the guy is a great player.

Dominated by PSG, Chelsea and City for large parts of all ties. Saved by late, improbable comebacks all three times. Also, McFred, Maguire, Martinez Varane, Lindelof, Eriksen are not Modric, Toni Kroos, David Alaba, Militao, Camavinga and co.
Crazy really. We have continuously signed 30+ guys on big contracts and seen poor return so not sure why it’s wrong to even question the idea . Also for me someone being past his prime is not the same as them being awful but what do I know
Don’t know why Ornstein says a Casemiro buy would likely mean no FDJ.
Can’t see issue in playing in same midfield.… guessing he means lack of funds? (Which if was the case would be annoying but expected).

The club is the broken record. Same mistakes over and over again.
You’d be happy if he transformed the team and helped us win a trophy though
Yes. He won't though. We've been here before.
Well actually he's not past his prime. You can repeat it but it wont mean it will be true.
Thanks for your valuable contribution. There is a reason the European champions have signed someone to take over from him soon. He is obviously a quality player but I have been burnt far too many times with 30+ guys trying to get a big last paycheck.
This idea that as soon as a player turns 30 he turns to shit. I don't know where they get it from.
That’s fine. It’s all about opinions. There is no real way to say what you are saying is true either. It is my opinion that he is not what we need specially at the money quoted but people are free to disagree. I can already predict how this will go if he signs for us, you can quote me back if I am wrong
The Fifa generation.
Apart from the fact that, in his last competitive club game, he was one of the best players on the pitch in a UCL final.
Yeah but that was several weeks ago. He could've forgotten how to play football by now
Well we already have a former Real Madrid guy who was excellent for them and has looked completely out of place playing for us. Casemiro is obviously a very good player but in this dysfunctional club with nothing to prove he is going to down his tools within a year
