Things Silva is what 38, Fernandinho was 36/7 when he called it a day these are 2 very clear examplesHorrible signing. A 30 year old who is on premium wages on a 5 year contract. We never learn from past mistakes. Brazilians also tend not to age well in their playing years in their 30s. Any 30 year old should be given a max 3 year contract.
Thiago Silva is currently strolling through the league at CB he's 37/38.Horrible signing. A 30 year old who is on premium wages on a 5 year contract. We never learn from past mistakes.

Thanks for providing all this information. Nice to hear he has a great mentality and is a good professional.Hey there!
I’m a Real fan and I just signed up because I wanted to congratulate you about this signing.
Casemiro is not 2nd string, he is the 1st one without any kind of doubt. Our Manager, Ancelotti, is worried, even with Tchouameni, not just because the player we are losing, but the person
Don’t worry about his age, he is in his prime, and he is very wary about his physical condition. At least he has 4-5 year as a top player.
You are not just signing a midfielder, you are signing the best one. He is a fecking monster. And aside from other Brazilian football players, he is very humble and a one of the “captains” we had, doing an awesome job with our Brazilian players teaching them what Real Madrid means (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Militao) and supporting them in every way in order to make them improve.
I can only wish him the best of the lucks and let you know that you just have gain another MU fan, can not wait to see him playing in your team.
Of all the things you could've chosen to moan about, you decide to focus your attention on us signing a brilliant DM in Casemiro.Horrible signing.

Any 30 year old should be given a max 3 year contract.
Sounds to me like he's learning fast!I'm sure he regrets this now. This lot are resistant to progressive coaching.
A De Jong type would be in addition. Imho De Jong would work best with a more stable set up.Casemiro is a better fit for the current squad vs De Jong.
Has the club ditched a vision of building long term? Building long term doesn't mean that you exclusively bring young players. And it's not as if we haven't brought a fair amount of players that are in the early days of their careers like Sancho, Malacia, Lisandro Martinez or Amad.Don't get me wrong, I share the incredible frustration of people that the club ditched a vision of building something for the long haul so quickly, especially after last summer's Ronaldo and Varane haul proved to be so problematic. That they can't build for a more sustained competitive future and keep falling into short term fixes is so damn annoying, while other clubs hoover up young talent.
But hey, here we are. Again.
You’re not wrong thereDe Gea made a massive mistake that Eriksen couldn't fix.
Oh did you?Fixed
So you can revel in the fact that you told us so? That would be a lot more satisfying than him being fantastic for us wouldn't it?I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict he'll be meh, He'll be exactly like Varane now. Glimpse of good play, goes missing all the time, mysteriously injured and not fit and somehow fade into obscurity.
Come 33 we'll be having the "he used to be class but his legs are gone"
You can quote me on it
Completely agree - I'd love FDJ but I think if we can only sign one then Casemiro would be my pick. I’d actually be excited to see a Casemiro, Fred, Eriksen/Bruno midfield. As we saw under Rangnick, Fred pushed further up the pitch is a very effective player.Casemiro is a better fit for the current squad vs De Jong.
I don't think it's fair to judge Varane on last season. Did anyone of our players perform anywhere near to their ability? We were badly coached, our tactics were a mess and our midfield couldn't keep organised for longer than a couple of minutes at a time. I reckon we'll see massive improvement from him this season. Especially if Casemiro comes and we add another top class midfielder.People bringing up De Brunyne, Scholes, KDB is not comparing apple to apply.
They're 30+ and performing but they've been in their respective clubs for years, moulded and customed their way of playing to their strenght.
Meanwhile we're having a heart bypass with a broken team plugging Casemiro in there won't mean shite.
Varane the world champion moved to us and become impotent overnight.
Please tell us how you really fell. I'm not entirely sure.I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict he'll be meh, He'll be exactly like Varane now. Glimpse of good play, goes missing all the time, mysteriously injured and not fit and somehow fade into obscurity.

Plugging De Jong in there probably won't mean shite either because our team is that bad, but hey ho 1600 pages of muppetry apprarently!People bringing up De Brunyne, Scholes, KDB is not comparing apple to apply.

I'd probably apologise and delete that before the banhammer hits. Casual racism isn't cool.Horrible signing. A 30 year old who is on premium wages on a 5 year contract.

I’m guessing Edemilson, Thiago Motta(switched to Italy) Emerson( Roma one) Maicon, Dani Alves, Cafu, Gilberto Silva, Thiago Silva, Fernandinho, Lucio aren’t all Brazilians. They all played at a high level past their 30s but go ahead and make up stuff. This is a great signing, best DM in the world and adds balance and protection to the team.Horrible signing.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw from Fred when he played as a roaming CM.Completely agree - I'd love FDJ but I think if we can only sign one then Casemiro would be my pick. I’d actually be excited to see a Casemiro, Fred, Eriksen/Bruno midfield. As we saw under Rangnick, Fred pushed further up the pitch is a very effective player.
Same here. I don’t care anymore about getting good deals saving money for Glazers. I would rather get the players who will make fans looking forward to the weekend rather than dross getting served now.why ? makes no difference to anybody on here how much they are paid.
Won't mean shite? I think you are under estimating going from McTominay to Casemiro. It will make a world of difference.Meanwhile we're having a heart bypass with a broken team plugging Casemiro in there won't mean shite.
This thread is filled with a lot of doom - sayers.Hey there!

Nah. Our biggest problems are in possession, even more so as we try to turn into an ETH style side that increases the demands on the players in that regard. And FDJ does far more to address those issues that Casemiro does.Casemiro is a better fit for the current squad vs De Jong.
Why do you think 40m can buy Caciedo from Brighton when they just sold a LB with 65m ? 40m+ for a unproved 20 years old player who just played 31 matches European football is a risk when they develop not that well afterwards and have a bigger contract.I didn't say break the bank but if you buy Caciedo at 40m for example at a quarter of the wages, he would be a better long term fit than Casemiro considering we are rebuilding. Makelele was forced out of Madrid and was motivated to prove them wrong. In addition, he was already joining a strong team in Chelsea who had younger quality players around him. Chasing Top 4 and playing the EPL could mean Casemiro loses that 5-10% motivation to play to his best, I mean he's already assured of his retirement package from what we will be paying him. Kone is highly regarded but even him and Caciedo end up being busts, they will likely still have resale value due to them being young. We could be stuck with Casemiro's on the decline in 2 years but still be on De Gea wages. Look how much trouble we had with Sanchez, rinse and repeat
To be fair, if we don't have a successor and/or FDJ in place by then, we deserve it.I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict he'll be meh, He'll be exactly like Varane now. Glimpse of good play, goes missing all the time, mysteriously injured and not fit and somehow fade into obscurity.

How's it not fair to judge one of the best defender in the world suddenly playing like lost puppies.I don't think it's fair to judge Varane on last season. Did anyone of our players perform anywhere near to their ability? We were badly coached, our tactics were a mess and our midfield couldn't keep organised for longer than a couple of minutes at a time. I reckon we'll see massive improvement from him this season. Especially if Casemiro comes and we add another top class midfielder.
It's crazy how many people seem to be hoping that he fails for us – just so they can say that they were right. I guess if you want to see anything as negative, then you will sometimes be proven correct in your thoughts.So you can revel in the fact that you told us so? That would be a lot more satisfying than him being fantastic for us wouldn't it?
Tbh the last three were legitimate concernsToo old, too small, too young, too expensive, too slow, too inexperienced, too unmotivated, too greedy, too racist.
There's always something
Our biggest issue for the last year has been how easy it is to play through our midfield and there being no protection for the CB's.Nah. Our biggest problems are in possession, even more so as we try to turn into an ETH style side that increases the demands on the players in that regard. And FDJ does far more to address those issues that Casemiro does.
There's a reason FDJ was ETH's main summer target.
This guy is just thinking of Ronaldinho and Adriano the party boys and R9 where injuries done him along with his hyper thyroidism.I’m guessing Edemilson, Thiago Motta(switched to Italy) Emerson( Roma one) Maicon, Dani Alves, Cafu, Gilberto Silva, Thiago Silva, Fernandinho, Lucio aren’t all Brazilians. They all played at a high level past their 30s but go ahead and make up stuff. This is a great signing, best DM in the world and adds balance and protection to the team.
Just a couple of days ago people were saying sign anyone now weve almost signed one of the best DM in the World people are saying hes too old hes past itYou can't win with our fans.
Just a week ago, before any sort of leak on this one, there was a thread on this same forum saying is he the best holding mid ever!
Now we have the chance to sign him, and upgrade an area with McFred only, then suddenly people are slating it!? Unreal.
