Okay I’m sucked in.. I really hope this happens, I’m sick of disappoints. Our defense will look solid too because of him!

This could change our fortunes. With Casemiro we could be looking at 6th-7th rather than 9th-10th. Get in there!

If all done in time, he could realistically start Monday. He plays with Fred regularly for Brazil and he's shielded in front of Varane for years.

Best 11 for big games right there. Let Shaw, Maguire, Bruno and Ronaldo work their way back in if they can.

I was surprised 5 minutes into the Brighton game when Eriksen started as a false 9 and McTominay played as an 8 without the ball but was often the highest up central player in attack, because that seems like the best possible role for Van Der Beek to play. Early days, but that seemed like a weird choice if he thinks VDB can hack it here.
That’s what I mean. But perhaps he will get chances yet.

70 million euros, 31 in Feb.

Madrid have played a blinder.
The long term strategy is extremely questionable in terms of our midfield and centre forward as players are aging, or younger but not of a high standard. In isolation though this is a good signing, lets not kid ourselves about that. Should we have got one of the young rising stars in that position at the start of the window? Certainly. But with Casemiro we should get at least 2 years of a best in class DM, and hopefully more depending on how he ages.

Has to be said, Madrid are not a bad club to do business with. Not much messing around with them.
Internal club politics aside, they're a very well run club. Not big on sentiment but it helps them continue to be relevant year after year.

Prefer doing business with them than the other big Spanish club who make business absolutely toxic. Madrid don't waste anyone's time and like to do things quickly and efficiently with little fuss/drama

It's expensive coupled with his four year contact?

Probably a 120 million commitment with no resale, not that I care about that.
We aren’t a selling club? I don’t get the moaning.

You obviously do care as you’re making digs about it. So what’s your issue?

I guess dealing with Real is a hell of a lot easier than dealing with Barca.

Damn, copy paste is in our DNA, same goes for reactions to this potential transfer, so dumb.
