No you're not but people here seem to dismiss any argument based on watching actual games from Real Madrid week in and week out. It's either "he's too old" or "he's the best DM in the world", very few asking the real questions about how he'll fare in this disfunctional team without Kroos/Modric when he showed pretty big sign of inconsistency in la liga in the past 2 years and mostly forgettable performances with his NT.
How do you suggest you change a dysfunctional team without adding new players to try and make it more functional?

Ten Hag has realised how important a DM is in the PL. The club are trying to get him the best they can.

Im disgusted by this!

After all these years without a dm we go out and try signing one of the best!

Where will this madness end?

Thought we were getting relegated? No chance of seeing my club battle it out in the Championship now. Raging!!!

Thiago at Liverpool is 31

I wonder if their fans were complaining about his age when they signed him and complaining about the fit
He was going into a well oiled machine in Liverpool and even then it took a season of adjustment.

Personally I'm shocked that the best we can do is arguably the best in the world :lol:

In this particular case - indeed. The only other player in the world who may be considered even better as a DM (if better at all) is Kimmich, who is not for sale anyway.

Can we try and do a cash + player deal?

£40m + VDB would be a better deal than straight up £60m cash. We have quite a lot of players we could use.

Madrid don't like selling their legends, the fans don't like it, but they have a great track record of moving them on in recent years and it makes it a whole lot easier for them to sell him if they say "he wanted to leave", so they gave us permission to speak to him, we offered to double his wages, he then went to Ancelotti and said he fancied it, and here we are negotiating a fee with Madrid. Source was Mitten.

Maybe we are overpaying a bit for a 30 year old, but he is literally the best player in the world in his position... Hard to not get excited by that.

They are not stupid. Why would they want any of our deadwood?

Good on him for wanting to come with no CL and other issues. Sure we're paying him a lot but he's a top player that is just what we need right now. He should be good for a few years and we can sort other positions out.

If we can sign Casemiro and have such a wonderful player in the position we have been crying out for, then we should 100% do it, feck the money.
This would sort out a position on the pitch for at least the next 3 years, all ETH has to do is keep adding quality to what we already have each transfer window.
I'm sure we all thought this transition would take a few years at least, its what the club do now to get us at least competing with lesser so called Premier league teams, if it means over paying on a 30 year then so be it.
We can't continue watching this clueless dross week in, week out.
I'm just hoping we actually get this one over the line

I think this is a very good signing for Utd. Won't cover up the poor window so far, but if they can get 2 or 3 of his level in, it'll turn out pretty decent

No doubt Casemiro is way better than our HMs combined.

I still cant believe this is happening though.

Di Maria is physically/mentally weak, Casemiro is about the opposite. I really can't see him failing or losing motivation here, unless we continue this shite show for long, which would make everyone losing their motivation playing for us anyway.
Let's hope so. If he's the same player post wage bump then we are laughing. If he isn't its going to be a utter disaster we can't do anything about.

It looks like it. Doesn't mean it'll happen, but it's not that outlandish
I find it hard to believe any world class player would come here right now. But maybe I'm being overly dramatic

Maybe it's just me but I like his attitude on the pitch. He commits every time I've seen him play, and he doesn't seem to be troubled by much. He just goes about his day tackling the ball off people and doesn't take shit from them.

I think it says alot as well that he and Dani Alves have had their fair share of the captain's armband for Brazil.

Also, this article from The Guardian two years ago shows what type of person he is...

Funnily enough, same article...
Thanks for posting this.

I don't think I've ever listened to an interview he's given. He sounds quite level headed.

I'm trying not to get excited though, but would really love it if he signed for us.
