Madrid tier 1

If it's all done by tomorrow, can he realistically make his debut against the Scousers on Monday?
I think he'd have to be registered by midday tomorrow, but could be wrong.

Make him captain. Whatever we're paying him ain't enough to deal with our shit show.

How fast can United’s lawyers expedite a work permit from the Home Office? Not that fast I reckon.

His role at Madrid seems to be that of a Ball winner / destroyer. He immediately finds one of Kroos or Modric or anyone else in midfield after he wins the ball back. He doesnt really carry the ball forward or dictate play which would mean we need someone of that calibre beside him. Would that be eriksen ? Bruno ? VdB ? fred ?.

Imagine him winning the ball back after battling 3 players only to see Mc/Fred misplace a 5 yard pass and start a counter attack
This is exactly what I've been trying to say in this thread. He's a destroyer type DM, where as we need a deep lying playmaker who can shield the defence. In the form of a Carrick, Busqests type player. With Casemiro we are simply going to end up with another player in midfield who can tackle yes, nut not much else and is not good on the ball, can't carry the ball or dictate play. Unless we are signing another midfielder who can actually pull the strings on the ball then this is a bad signing.

Serious question. Did Murtough and Arnold messed up and spent all summer thinking that Barcelona and Madrid were the same place?

Would be hilarious if we fous out the the hard way that kroos and modric, made casemiro look a better player than he is.

How do you go from playing with two all time greats, to playing with mcfred?
No, not funny. Heartbreaking is the word you were looking for.

Also he won’t play with McFred, he’ll most likely play with Fred who he partners for Brazil. Then Bruno, Christian or Donny at 10.

Has to be said, Madrid are not a bad club to do business with. Not much messing around with them.

He has Spanish citizenship.

Citizenship requires two years of residence in Spain and Vinicius meets that requirement in July. Hw will then have to take an exam in January 2021.
Midfielders Casemiro and Federico Valverde have both achieved dual nationality after joining the club.

Didn't we get matic at the same age? We only managed to get a good 18 mi ths out if his legs.

Don't get me wrong I'd love it if he came here, if he hits the ground running he will be the shield we need in front of maguire and martinez, but it solves nothing as we will need a replacement in 2/3 years
If it helps to stop us leaking goals this season then I’m in… could be the signing that makes our season and gets us into top 4. Find it strange though that we could have Varane, Casemiro and Ronaldo all playing Europa league football :lol:

Wow, this would be a tremendous signing. I'm surprised Casemiro is even willing to come though!
