McTominay is young and hungry. But he’s absolutely shit.Just hate this move. Why can't we get young hungry players

He does. But the attack in front of them is better functioning and works a lot smoothly than what we're currently seeing. I'm not against the pairing, just not totally convinced by it without other reinforcements to our attack.He plays with Fred for Brazil?
Fernandinho was two years younger. And he had played far less senior football at the highest level. It is not just age that wears on the physique of a player. Minutes of football is also a huge factor. There is a reason why a player like Vardy is still playing, while Rooney was finished several years ago. It is not because Vardy is more talented.When city signed Fernandinho he was a similar age and they got 5 good years out of him. Casemiro is a better player by far and there’s no reason he can’t do very similar to a high level. Would be an outstanding signing at any cost.
Also Di Maria in his "poor" season registered 14 assists.Which if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.
That would be such a massive upgrade.Get SMS too and go to a beautiful 4-3-3.
He'd still probably be a very good signing in the short term but there were so many options at the start of this window. We knew we needed to rebuild the midfield and we've brought in one 30 year old in Eriksen and now we're looking to bring in another in Casemiro. Its literally the opposite to how the successful teams in the league operate.Signing players with this type of profil is so smart:
- Schweinsteiger
- di Maria
- Falcao
- Varane
- Cavani
- Ronaldo
Keep them coming! Such a great recipe for success!
Such as? Be specificMeh, there are better ways to spend 60-70m. Lets see who else we bring in.
FdJ is off now, which is a pity. Would have taken him over Casemiro easily. We still need another midfielder
We won’t fix everything in one window.He does. But the attack in front of them is better functioning and works a lot smoothly than what we're currently seeing. I'm not against the pairing, just not totally convinced by it without other reinforcements to our attack.
RedCafe probably claimed that about every one of them when we signed themWhich if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.
None was as expensive either.Which if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.
Di Maria came off a sensational season for Madrid when we signed himWhich if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.
To be fair di Maria probably was considering he just had a cl winning season back then.Which if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.
I agree with that completely.We won’t fix everything in one window.
Need to be tougher to beat first
Of course.To be clear, I'm not suggesting that Casemiro is perfect and a guaranteed success but he does provide a benefit for us that young hungry players don't. Also you can be in your prime and hungry.
Di Maria arguably and he was class for us initially until he became unsettled in the city and fell out with the managerWhich if these were world class and best in their position when we signed them?
I'll wait.

Aye, he was a world class winger who actually came off his final season in Madrid playing central midfield.To be fair di Maria probably was considering he just had a cl winning season back then.
What a load of tripe!Signing players with this type of profil is so smart:
- Schweinsteiger
- di Maria
- Falcao
- Varane
- Cavani
- Ronaldo

Casemiro isn't blind, what are you on about?!Stupid signing lacks vision but sure a CDM FINE.
He isn’t, we have also bought Eriksen.The only issue for me is that Casemiro cannot be the sole midfield signing. He fixes the fact that our midfield would finally have a player who can play as a no.6 and knows how to actually position himself to protect a defence, but he doesn’t do much in the way of a being a midfielder who helps us run a game and use the ball well. Need a nifty partner beside or slightly in front of him if it’s a 433.
Redcafe have few obsessions, going for only young hungry players is one.There's some mental posts in here.
Signing him won't give us Champions League football which is the only thing that would placate RonaldoHope we're not signing him to placate Ronaldo.
As mentioned it’s a 4 year deal from 30-34.Brilliant player. £60 mil seems a lot though for a player with about 2-3 years max left at the top.
Really shows desperation at this point in my opinion along with the €130 mil bid for Felix. Somehow I get the feeling this is going to end up as another high profile rejection. I cannot see Madrid selling.

just means less for the money sucking glazer'sCasemiro and Eriksen could work, but my god we are going to pay a lot of money and wages for him, aren't we?
Seems we'll try for SMSIf this deal goes through, we should supplement it with Tielemans who’s available at a low cost. I think the two of them would completely transform our midfield.
That's why we bought Shaw. Turns out he was the wrong type of hungryJust hate this move. Why can't we get young hungry players
He only just turned 28 when they signed him. Casemiro is 31 in 6 months.When city signed Fernandinho he was a similar age and they got 5 good years out of him. Casemiro is a better player by far and there’s no reason he can’t do very similar to a high level. Would be an outstanding signing at any cost.
He was also signed from Ukraine and gave them 9 years.[

Hard as a stone right now.
