How will we have similar class players if we don’t sign them? Casemiro is one so we sign him. Thennnnn put him next to other class signings. We don’t have a defined system? Well let’s build one with Casemiro. There is no zero downside to this transfer.

I'm surprised to see this thread still going. Is he really interested or trying to get a better contract from Real? I mean, why would they sell him?
I just don't see how this is possible at all.

I wonder if ETH would still stick with current set up if they landed Casemiro. Brazil have played in a 4-2-3-1 with him and Fred at the base for quite some time now I believe, but the international game is so much different. He's played in a 3 with 2 absolute class players of this generation in Kroos and Modric. Plus the added speed and physicality of the Prem.
Pay what we must. Whether we are in a mess or not I would rather enjoy some top players here while we are at it.

Ruiz has joined PSG, Parades doesn't want to come and he isnt good enough, Ndidi is again 60m + , Sangare just signed a new contract and PSV won't sell now. Tielemans isn't as good as other guys !
It’s better to pay for top talent and play well than to continue this McFred painful suffering. Enough is enough
So like any level headed person I completely brushed off the initial interest as comical…. But glancing at this thread people seem to think it’s happening?
Have I missed something that moved this from pie in the sky silliness to legitimate possibility?

I love Casemeiro, he's a bloody fantastic footballer... But with the amount of money he would cost, and the amount of money we'd have to pay him... It doesn't make much financial sense to me.
Let’s not do anything stupid now John, I’d rather see Zidane and Savage than watching Casemiro stink up the place by next summer when his inevitable decline hits and all while being on 300k a week.
He is similar to McT in abilities, albeit a lot better. Still, at his age, EtH possessionoriented style of play etc; seems like desperation and panic because he is not what we need at all. We need midfielders that can transition the ball from defence to attack and that can pass the ball.
Casemiro is almost purely a defensive midfielder and not the best at passing or on the ball under pressure.
But hey, why not give him (30 year old player with a lot of miles in his legs, with a style of play dependent on being in good shape and after his last big payday) a 5 year megacontract... Just add another overpaid, unsuited player to our squad...

Sure but you seem to want to just hone in on the negative shit that suits your narrative. Just seems odd.
He's likely interested because he's getting a better contract, a obscene one at that.

Over £600k a week over 5 years with no resale value. Madness indeed.

I do not dislike the idea of having Varane, Casemiro and Ronaldo playing together again in United.
If this is even remotely true we should be walking away (again!)
The line is genuine. He spoke for El Chiringuito 3 hours ago. This is the source.
yeah but 2/3 months ago they’re situations were different. They are all better than our current midfielders bar Eriksen.
I agree. That post you replied to was total nonsense.
We've been stung so many times by similar signings. But in our current state I'd be absolutely willing to take the risk
What about Laimer?
If available just buy him. Money is not matter. Have to give ETH enough good tools to make things work.
If player willing to come one of world class at his position at present just get it done.
Nobody guarantees what will happen in future but you have to make present to work out to have a better future.

If that’s madness, who wants to be sane!?
A big benefit to this is his and Varane's knowledge of eachother
That explains it. Thanks for the heads up. I feel like this is kind of sensationalistic, and I'd like to know what gives JFD this idea, especially since Casemiro's also happy enough to stick around at Real Madrid and the club not necessarily willing to sell the player.
What do you guys (from the Madrid perspective) reckon will happen?
Yes. The mind boggles if we make this mistake yet again.
I’m at the point now where feck the money the glazers won’t invest it anywhere else anyway so feck it pay up get a world class DM.
I really dislike the club right now.

Too much money, no matter how good he is. These type of wages lead to jealousy and no sustainable development.
I'd still love him in our shirt but before he's here, I prefer doing smarter business.

The financial outlay on this deal is disgraceful if any of what's reported is true. I hope none of it is true and that its purely being pushed by United as a smoke screen to get Barce to force the De Jong deal through.
I would take Casemiro for €20m on a €200k weekly wage, maximum. Should not be paying a penny more.

Casemiro-Kroos-Modric is regarded as the best midfield of the last 6/7 years, and he's the youngest of the 3. I'm sure he could play at a world class level for at least another 3 years.
Is disgraceful a step up or down from embarrassing?
