If he’ll stop us leaking 4 goals to feckin brentford, surely worth the cash, no? And how about garner learning from him?

Yes 60 million on arugably the best player in the world in a position that we've lacked in for about a decade. It is good business.
It's definitely a dub over. I saw this on twitter and apparently the context behind is the guy in glasses is new to the national team and Casemiro doesn't like that he makestoo many jokes and says this important for team building and he needs to take it more seriously.
Sancho will work out. It’s clear that he is supremely talented just needs equally talented, hungry players around him.
I’m not a huge fan of Lindelof in terms of his lack of pace, strength and aggression… that’s just poor scouting.
Both have resale value and Sancho has the potential to be immense.
Change the thread title to 'Communicado official' for maximum muppettness.
Totally real mate.
"The best player in the world in that position"
Has anyone got the stats that back this up? Genuinely? Or is it just that he starts in the team that won the champions league, just like Varane won 3 of them and yet made no impact in defence at all. I can't believe with the resources we have we haven't been able to identify someone with their best years ahead of them. Im delighted with the signing don't get me wrong, but we've had our fingers burnt so many times since Fergie left that i am skeptical over everything these days. After Di Maria, Sancho and Ronaldo I can't help but question every transfer these days!

Where does this leave our pursuit of Declan Rice? Surely it throws a bit of a spanner in the works

A competent club shouldn’t need to spend 60 million pounds on a player just to beat brentford. And a club as incompetent as United is right now shouldn’t be overpaying to buy its way out of this mess. Casemiro isn’t excited about ETH or the club’s project. He’s coming for the pay day. You don’t improve the culture at the club by bringing in players this way.
Liverpool signed Thiago at 30 and he’s one of the best in the league. We have to prey that this guy at 30 can have the same impact and lift the shower of you know what around him now.
Some people really are jaded from the last few years. Imagine being miserable after signing the best DM in the world :
Yeah who watches Real Madrid eh? Brexit means brexit.Is he fook, half the people fawning over this signing have probably never watched a game of his. He is a decent player but one of the best midfielders of the last decade
Yesterday it was reported he'd agreed terms at €18m a year, or £195k a week.
Today Whitwell is trying to tell us he's going to be on £375k a week.

I was a good player at 30.
Could've been world-class if Tinder existed back then.
A welcome signing.

I'm more worried about this taking the sting or impetus out of of any protests than I am about signing the player himself. It just feels so important to keep the pressure on the Glazers at this moment. I hope we're not bought off by a shiny new midfielder.Some people really are jaded from the last few years.

They must be doing cartwheels in Madrid
Probably the most important post on this thread..
I totally meant thatAnd you were right
What a difference it is working with Madrid as opposed to Barca, few days wam bamm and the deal is done. He's obviously a world class player, excited to see what he can do and I hope this lifts up the squad as well. We still need one more CM.
Any feels towards any other transfer?I totally meant that
Coming to think of it, I'm feeling Maguire out right about nowAny feels towards any other transfer?
Have to admit, when this first came up I thought there was no chance, so fair fecks.
It will probably turn out to be a disaster, for some reason, but in theory this is a good move and a bit of a coup.

@Ali Dia is that your second account?
are both Fred and Casemiro starters for Brazil
So again back to moaning for sake of moaning. We been struggling to buy players.
How the hell do we beef up a serious problems area and do all this top notch transfer work, we can't get the original targets since it's dead simple
Two whole days younger than Phil Jones.
This is one of the best midfielders of the last decade you clown
Madrids announcement (note that bold bit for those saying he is past it and ‘decent’):
“Real Madrid CF and Manchester United have agreed on the transfer of the player Carlos Henrique Casemiro.
Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection for Casemiro, a player who is already part of the legend of this club.
Since he arrived in January 2013 to play for Castilla, at the age of 20, Casemiro has been one of the most transcendental players in one of the most important and successful periods in our history. During this time in which he has defended the shirt and shield of Real Madrid, he has won 18 titles: 5 European Cups, 3 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 3 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups. On an individual basis, he was named Best Player in the final of the European Super Cup won a few days ago in Helsinki and has been nominated for the 2022 Ballon d'Or.
In addition to this brilliant record, Casemiro will always represent the values of our club. An exemplary player who has given everything for Real Madrid.”
Real Madrid is and will always be his home, and he wishes him and his whole family the best of luck in this new stage of his life.
Next Monday, August 22, at 11:30 a.m., an institutional act of homage and farewell to Casemiro will take place at Real Madrid City, with the presence of our president Florentino Pérez.
Following this act, Casemiro will appear before the media in the press room at Real Madrid City.

It’s mental to think these were just some of the posts in here 3 days ago when the news broke. Dont worry, I thought it was a load of bollocks too! But what a whirlwind few days!
feck off
Yeah...right.
Unless?
In La Liga last season he was first in blocks, third in possession won, second in tackles. He's not exactly bad as a disruptive midfielder even at the decrepit age of 30Is he fook, half the people fawning over this signing have probably never watched a game of his. He is a decent player but one of the best midfielders of the last decade
He was also fifth in forward passes and 6th in shots.The ironyIs he fook, half the people fawning over this signing have probably never watched a game of his. He is a decent player but one of the best midfielders of the last decade
Thanks for the name check!It’s mental to think these were just some of the posts in here 3 days ago when the news broke. Dont worry, I thought it was a load of bollocks too! But what a whirlwind few days!
