As I said to another poster, this isn't necessarily a comment on Casemiro, it was a general comment on us as a whole. I'm not that averse to this signing.
Good signing, but irrelevant in the wider context. Getting the owners out must be our main focus
Like I said, I made that same point as you throughout the saga. But we still don't know the facts. And the "fact" is some outlets and journalists said he had given us assurances. So it is possible. And if it is possible that he did, probably to keep his options open at best, then I don't understand why anybody on here is still longing for him. Because we wasted the best part of 3 months. If he's even partly responsible for that then he's played a part in this shit show.
Literally played the full match. Was the outfield player of the match. Courtois was the player of the match.
You can also pop out to the stadium and get in easily like it’s a trip to the Trafford centre.
Happy to see €60m instead of £60m.
Just not as goodWe are becoming Madrid lite? Varane, Ronaldo and now possibly Casemiro
In the past I would not have agreed with the signing due to the age and estimated fees involved. However, I 100% support this now because that will mean we can finally break Mcfred midfield
Is this a war? We've been advancing for the last two hours.
Is casemiro really going to commit career suicide and join us?
@twitch
Shhh...don't tell him.
Has he ever worn the number 21?
He likes 14. 24 should do… worn by late greats David Beckham and Darren Fletcher
Florentino Perez to potential signings:" Have you heard about our retirement program? Manchester United, you will love it. Now sign that under market contract, United will have your back in 10 years. "We are becoming Madrid lite? Varane, Ronaldo and now possibly Casemiro
Graveyard for players, surely it has to end at some point.
2 training sessions with our lot and he'll turn to shit.
No they didn't. The credible journalists said that United wouldn't pursue a deal for so long if they weren't encouraged. They didn't have it on any authority that Frenkie wanted the move, but were guestimating theslves.
You're basically making a mother of assumptions to have a reason to mug off Frenkie, which is a bit silly. He never wanted to come here and that's been consistent. What outlets guesstimated is something else, that's not remotely close to the actual preference or even for us to insinuate one.
I just feel like we have tried and tested doubling the salary of players that are 30 and have won everything and are coming here for a final pay day.
Unlikely any of those will be good enough I'd say.
Cavani would have been a good stop gap if we followed it up properly. At first it was supposed to be Cavani for 2 years, let Ronaldo go to City and sign Haalands this summer. Stop gaps can be good, if you follow your plan after properly.
As of now, our DM position is the biggest problem in our squad. Sign him now, get Declan Rice later if he's still at West Ham (contract til 2025), west ham would only be reasonable in 2024 or when his contract is up in 2025. I think it's safe to say Casemiro has at least 2 seasons at his current level before we start wondering how long can he last, could be 2-4 years, but it makes sense as a plan. It allows us to shift focus on the other parts of the squad while having the midfield finally stabilized, and it lets our other talented players actually show their talent more, and show if they're up for it at all.
And I agree. 60m is huge money for his age. But we are in a desperate situation, and at least it isn't 80-100m. I fear for us this season if we don't get a top DM in, so he'll be a huge jolt to our team and a huge help for Ten Hag. We aren't Bayern, Liverpool, City or Madrid. We are nowhere near, we are negotiating from rock bottom. We can't attract good deals, because other top teams will just beat us to them essentially. Someone like Casemiro can calm the club down, be the leader in the team to get us going again and then we start addressing other issues from a position of strength, not desperation.
50m pounds, I can live with. We wanted a DM, he’s a DM. 50m is nothing, we wasted that on wan Bissaka.
It’s not about other bids, it’s about his usefulness to Madrid. This late in the window you’ll have to overpay.
His preferred no.14 is available with Mr. Lingz gone
It is a massive HOT day.
Liverpool literally signed Thiago last year.
Surely we're not getting this fella.
Don’t get how Casemiro can be de jongs alternative when one’s a number 6 who is mainly a defensive type player and the other one is someone who progresses the ball. Our transfer policy is a joke.
Is advancing better than preparing a bid?
No still stuck in traffic on Princess Parkway.
Sanchez says hello. Scored 30 odd goals 6 months before the signed him.
Probably a case of Ten Hag quickly realizing that a proper ball winner/defensive mid is in fact absolutely vital for us and that he can't coach any of our current crop to do it.
Of course, that's the reality for most youth players. But you increase the chances to miss on them if you don't give them the opportunity to play alongside stable players. In general we can't build long term plans or structures with the mindset that it's going to fail otherwise you may as well not have an academy and not sign players for millions.
We dont have a transfer policy. We just go after random players hoping the current manager can do something with them
Slightly better. Unless we run into a dead end, or a river.
Eriksen is 14 now
I would just prefer a 25 year old who isn't going to decline right away, hasn't already won everything, isn't going to cost us 400k a week. There is just a long list of overpaid flops, very very few successes.
