Is Casemiro the best holding midfielder of all time?

Shame we don’t get re-gens in real life like the game FIFA. Paul Scholes would be a good partner with him.
Knowing our owners we might just have sold the regen Scholes to Dundee for 300k.
who we thinking?
Its Lothar Mathäus.
He is an excellent player, at least till he was playing for a very good Madrid side. Lately, United has been notorious for ruining talent, so we will have to wait and see how he performs here.
But asking if he is the best of all time is ludicrous; a better question would have been to ask if he's the best of this generation.
His acquisition interests me because we are buying the first world-class player in his prime after SAF's days, and more so, to see if a single worldie can significantly lift the performance of 10 other shitties in the team. The quality of top players playing at their peak, and particularly those with a winning mentality, tends to rubs off on others.
Footballing aspect aside, this buy is also important to lift the image of the club. People were starting to compare United to the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle. There were lots of negative media coverage of players rejecting United because the club isn't ambitious enough, no longer important enough. This narrative is toxic. If Casemiro is willing to come to United, other world-class players in their prime can/should too. This is pivotal as we may not see CL football for at least two seasons.

He will be if he can sort our shit out
This aged well. It's a quality signing
Of course he is
(TBU if needed by Sep 1)

Best midfielder of all time for me.
Im changing my position from "no way" to "of course he is, what a dumb question"
If he can sort our midfield out then yes
Of course he's the best of all time. Was there ever any doubt? Better than Zidane , almost as good as Scholes.
I've not commented up until now, so I can confidently state without bias that Casemiro is without doubt, the greatest DM to have ever lived
Yeah, future Ballon D'or winner
Fixing Man Utd’s midfield is Casemiro’s first real test.
So who do we want next?
Thanks for this thread op, your contributions won't be forgotten.
Are you going to start an "Is Antony the greatest forward of all time" thread ?
He is now 
I have come to realise that he is.
Give it 2 weeks and we'll be saying McTom should start over him knowing our luck.
Yes of course he, it's not even an argument. No one comes close.
No mention of our Roy?
He definitely is.
I wouldn't consider Keane to be a holding midfielder. His best days were box to box, all-action all-rounder. He did some holding near the end of his career to a decent level, but better as box to box.
No
But close.
But close.
Absolute 2-generational talent. No one comes close.
Easily. No one comes close. If they did, he would tackle them
So Nunez is 100m with add ons and a salary sub-200k.
Casemiro is 70m with add ons and a salary of 300k+.
What am I missing here?

Many (many, many) truer a word spoken in jest. Anyone remember Ronaldo when he was here? Oh he's still here?
A world class player
Nunez looks like a bargain. An allround forward with blistering pace, incredible power, touch, control, movement and technique. Not to mention goalscoring ability. A scorer of great goals too.
looks shite tbf.
I did research last two days and i must say that he is. Not just dm. He is best midfielder in general.
I did the math on Casemiro so you don't have to.
Based on very super scientific calculations and stuff, the results were as follows: he is the greatest holding midfielder in the recorded history of the beautiful game.

This thread would look weird if he turns out to be bland like varane after joining us
Second best after Ethan Ampadu.
A butthead?
Nkunku maybe? Gavi? I'm like a kid in a candy store man!
He won't, he hasn't had much of a decline, he's very smart, offers a big presence and is a leader (unlike Varane).
But you have to keep your expectations in check, he's mainly a destroyer, not a playmaker.
Supreme off the ball, decent (but not great) on the ball.
Yes
