He gets the ball to a player in the same shirt. That is already a big improvement over McT. He isnt going to split defenses with his vision and passing though.

Now watch Chelsea gazump us
Lack of work is bit worrying indeed, especially since August. I'm perplexed more than annoyed we decided to go after Rabiot first, while clearly the better player was there in Casemiro.
We just wasted one week of precious time dealing with mother of a player that lost place in French team for a reason...
Done dealio.
Thats it then. Done dealio. Welcome Casemiro.
Now just make sure the fax machines are working.
You have 10 minutes from the time of this post.
Well then... I didn't expect this signing but I'm happy
what a fecking signing
I was clearly joking lads. Never doubted his integrity or ability. He is the best DM of all time.
These La Liga tears from Hunter and Ballbag are delicious 
But you accept that the is also making a deal with the devil?
One thing that we need to keep in mind is that United never had a divine right to impose its wishes? At the time SAF earned that privilege by being successful, no one else was in a similar situation everyone else at the exception of maybe Real Madrid(who offered Casemiro a contract that we likely wouldn't have) had to compromise and make deals that weren't ideal, that's Football for 99.9% of clubs. It will likely upset some but United isn't special, SAF was, now we have to operate like everyone else.
What a weirdo. Embarrassed himself there.
CasemirON then
what's he on about the loon?Bellend
What a colossal bellend.

That's the confirmation, welcome abroad our Brazilian bull.
Casemiro seems more like a Glazer's signing (galactico one) rather than an ETH signing.
So it's going to damage La Liga (how!?) and at the same time, Man Utd won't be getting who they think they're getting (whatever that means)
If it is a challenge he wants, he is coming to the right place!Tweet

Incredible signing. Incredible how quick we've done it too. If only we didn't waste a whole summer on FdJ!
He's not the player United think he is but please don't leave Madrid... Okay bud
why does he say that we're not getting the player we think we're getting?

This should end the “play Martinez as DM” cries.
nonsense, you go after several options knowing probably only one of three will work out. If you put all your eggs in one basket and that fails you have no where to go. I suspect once United realised that Casamiro was likely they dropped Rabiot as the Casamiro was the preferred signing.
I usually like him but...
Cringed so hard
The first page of this thread is now hilarious.
So is he good or is he shite, Graham?
Bizarre video. Not that hard to realise that, just like Varane, a player has won it all in Spain and he's intrigued by the prospect of testing himself in another league and country.
If I was a top footballer, I'd want to either just play for United as long as they wanted me, or if they didn't I'd travel around Europe to play in all different leagues and experience different cultures.
If rumours are true (if he signs) that we're paying €70m, giving him a 4+1 contract and putting him on a very high wage for a 30 year old player accustomed to playing at a far different pace to the PL and with far better players then we just haven't learned a thing on our past mistakes.
It took Rodri a year to become accustomed to the pace and he's a lot younger. Saul was also putting up fantastic numbers at Atlético but was a total failure at Chelsea even if his minutes where limited. Is Casemiro better than what we have? Of course he is and if it was the Casemiro of 5 years ago then I'd be all over the transfer but I don't think in todays market its worth forking out so much on a player coming from a very successful club into a shit storm where its going to be very hard for him to find motivation other than his paycheck. A big no from me.

This is our biggest midfield signing since Keane? I think so.
All the people saying Modric, Fernandinho, T.Silva, Makelele are all outliers for playing well into their late 30's do you all also agree that Cannavaro was an outlier for being world class CB despite being short or does that logic only apply to players and their ages ?
What a player, what a signing. Guy is absolutely top notch at his position, don't understand why Madrid lets him go.
