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.
DDG
Dalot Varane Martinez Malacia
Casemiro Fred
Sancho Eriksen Rashford
Martial
Best 11 for big games right there. Let Shaw, Maguire, Bruno and Ronaldo work their way back in if they can.
Martial? Keep dreaming

So we really can wrap up a big signing at a position of massive need within days without endless transfer theater or a saga if we want to huh...

Good to know, hope those dolts in charge can fecking learn
not much to learn from the FDJ experience. Barca are a pain to deal with because their situation is complicated, and clearly no one was shutting the door on a deal so we persisted.

I think our bigger issue seems to be identifying targets we should sign, rather than actually signing people. We often target the wrong players, or are too slow to recognize good transfers so we’re constantly losing out.

Gonna be so refreshing having an injection of tenacity and big balls in midfield again.

His leadership on and off the pitch and work ethic will be absolutely vital in the sorry dressing room we currently have

Marca refers to english reports that don't exist and people freak out over it. So the usual.
The difference is that José Félix Diaz is corroborating those reports with his info rather than just sharing whatever they've reported. Besides, if Marca wanted to share the English reports, they don't need someone like him to do it; they'd just assign one of their other writers instead.

He’s only signing for us because he wants as much practice starting next to Fred as possible to win Brazil the World Cup in December.

On a positive note are we allowed to unzip yet?

So how does he fit in an ETH system? Genuinely asking as I don't know his tactical shifts as well as some, and this seems to be a huge, but very welcome, panic signing.

He's a wonderful player, can he be utilised to both his and ETHs strengths?

If you’d have asked me a week ago which midfielder I’d have wanted if I could pick from anyone, I’d have looked at our DM options and said “Casemiro” thinking he was completely unobtainable.

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?
Every club sells players?

I care about another failed transfer at huge cost when my team is already a laughing stock. Seems like another panic buy to me sanctioned after two shite results.

I think any big money signing other than De Jong made by United is going to look like that at this stage.

On top of his obvious skills, we finally have someone who knows when to tactically foul and how

You sound scared of your own shadow mate.

What do you actually want? he’s literally the premier DM/holding midfielder in the world. He can come in now and make an immediate improvement. He’s got a fantastic injury record and can give us 3-4 years at the top level. The club can afford him and the reports of doubling his wages have been dismissed.

I feel some of you just love to moan.
