Was Fernandinho quick? Is Fabinho quick? How about Busquets? They all excelled at teams that played the most extreme high press in football.
Ballague is a know nothing blow-hard. I wouldn’t take anything he says seriously.

Haha accidental Partridge all over this.
Spoken like a true SagittariusI'm worried about you
To be fair, those players all are surrounded by others who are very capable of keeping the ball. Us, however…
You should do a study to see if these theories (or whatever madness they are) hold true in title winning teams.
Maybe you'll be up to something .
I mean Henderson and Milner/Ox/Keita/whoever plays when Thiago is out are hardly the pinnacle of technical players.
However they can also turn to TAA and Robertson. And the centre backs. Whereas we have Bruno.
Didn’t realise Raymond Domenech was on here
I've watched Real game last night. Casemiro will need medication to support the level of the players around him here imo. He will laugh discovering players who will not even be on the bench at Madrid, earning more money than some starters there.
I hope he will be motivated enough and avoid injuries to play even at 80% of his capacity during his contract. Good luck!
The Glazers are doing everything to stifle the protest. Glazers out!

You bastard
To be fair he did reach a world cup final , So it must have worked !
"Casemiro | 2022/23 Performances"
What a wild thought that this is actually a thread title
So excited to see him take to the grass at Old Trafford

So excited to see him take to the grass at Old TraffordWell, yeah. Stating the obvious though? Having better players in addition to Casemiro would be a good thing.
Closer to home, the last two times we finished 2nd we needed a big contribution from Matic. The last time we won the league Carrick was our best player. Neither of them are quick and they both coped just fine in the PL. It’s just obvious nonsense that Casemiro will struggle in the league because he’s not quick enough.
any pics of Casemiro in manchester yet?
What a fecking signing, so hyped for his debut
Still confused why this occurred two weeks into the season. Did the guy wake up on Monday last week and thought ‘I know, I’ll move to the shit show that is United just now, I’m 30 and they’ll pay a fortune for four years and get nothing for me after four years’. Whatever, as panic buys go, he’s a good one.
I still find it hard to believe we've signed Casemiro. It's surreal.
So it needs a first step to forward, not stay in the original point and hope everything to change in one time
Finally, a good back up for McFred
Yeah a bit of competition for their places is just what was needed for them to kick on and nail down their places. Inspired signing.
Balague, the Barca/Pep fanboi? I don't take anything that clown says seriously.
so this isn’t your opinion after all?
Yep and it was the same with Lampard when manager of Chelsea.
The utter lack of defensive workrate amongst our attackers absolutely has an impact on our midfielders. Our current midfielders have always had poor positioning, but it's highlighted even more than it should be because they are left completely open so often. Ronaldo, Rashford, Martial, Sancho are all poor at doing anything to really help, and while Bruno does tend to have moments where he tries hard he often does it stupidly which just creates more space for the opposition. It all allows the opposition to just overload our midfield.
I’ve already gone into it but sure.
He’s lightweight. Can’t keep the ball under pressure.
He’s in his 30s and isn’t someone who’s relied on his on the ball attributes.
Big wages for someone which will keep him here too long.
We need strong players on the ball. Players who will be the foundation of a long and, hopefully, successful team. Players who don’t continue to ruin our wage structure.
I’m not trolling.
I don’t like this signing.
I’m surprised he’s been nominated for the Ballon d’Orr this year when he’s been so shit.
You’ve not a clue about the player in the slightest
I agree. It's like signing Pogba as the 1st piece in your midfield and expecting it to run with him as your main midfielder, whilst not realising players like these have a very specific role in their teams and need 2 other key pieces.
We thought this about Verane. I don't think he will look as great as you think he is
The most ridiculous thing you've said and there was a lot of competition.
Neither of those things are close to being true. Lightweight, really?
Filling Ashley Youngs shoes won't be easy...Tweet

Ten hag straight up saying we didn't have anybody who can play as a 6 pretty much. Been the biggest problem for years with us. Hopefully it has the impact I think it will
We have Erickson and Fernandes for creativity. We need someone behind them who can cover them and make them feel confident to push forward
We need a solid DM to screen our CBS and to build confidence in our over all defense.
Will start training on thursday at the earliest. Why is there always such a long delay at our club?Tweet

What delay? His whole transfer moved along in super speed.
With his visa.
Casemiro, Erikson replace Pogba and Matic in the squad. When I look at the signing this way Im happy.
In Midfield experience is key, if we get Antony I see our performance’s being transformed and quickly.

Visa takes sometime after the Brexit, real pain these days for transfers outside of UK.
I'm trying to not get excited.
