  1. Replacing Casemiro

    Casemiro has never been an orchestrator. Him being able to pull of a pass in behind from time to time doesn't make him an orchestrator. Also we don't really know if Amorim really looks for an orchestrator in midfield. At Sporting, those orchestrator jobs have been taken over by the CBs (from...

  2. Replacing Casemiro

    I see. And if Eriksen would have been brought in as a gap filler, your example would make even more sense. He was brought in though to seemingly get a starter position. Which was a mistake. I don't want to slag Casemiro off, he was a fantastic footballer and I am sure he still has a lot to...

  3. Replacing Casemiro

    The more the marrier. I'd be happy with 10 though. Mind - we have to bring in somebody to fill his role in the squad which should be 3rd or 4th midfielder. Put him 4th or 5th if we really bring in for example Ederson.

  4. Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?

    Thanks for the offer, I decline for now but will come back to it later in case of need. It still is interesting that it seems to be about redcafe posts. I think I have a decent overview when it comes to "critical" posts around that particular topic and I think, the level of "sensitivity" doesn't...

  5. Replacing Casemiro

    A rolling contract certainly wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but the financial outlay is just one thing. Casemiro probably wouldn't stay without getting a promise for a certain amount of game time. This game time is needed though because as we know, we have to bring in other players in...

  6. Replacing Casemiro

    Fergie became quite sentimental in his last years around here and probably hung on a few of the old guard for a little too long. Understandable, don't get me wrong. And justified as he was able to still be able to get results and performances but lets not act as if the majority of fans during...

  7. Replacing Casemiro

    I kind of doubt it. Giggs is seen as a legend by a lot of United players, I'd say that influenced that decision or the perception certainly. But unable to proof it obviously. Iirc though, I think, the majority of fans were yelling out for midfield improvements back then.

  8. Replacing Casemiro

    Giggs played his whole career at United. See your point but don't think the comparison is really apt. No doubt. But Fergie was also competing in all comps and was the chipleader able to afford a big squad in most of his time here. That doesn't apply to the same degree anymore. I see your point...

  9. Replacing Casemiro

    Whats so funny mate - is a few decent matches towards the end of the season not "one off"?

  10. Replacing Casemiro

    Amorim isn't a fool, of course he will appreciate good form and will give playing time to those who are in good form. Not like there is large competiton for places in that area anyways. But going into the future, we shouldn't just look for good form at the end of a season. Casemiro has done well...

  11. Replacing Casemiro

    Lets hope we are smarter than that. Impulsive reactions for one-off events should hopefully be a thing of the past

  12. Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?

    So two posters on here then? Thats where all the mentions of "all those fans" come from. Thats... something

  13. Casemiro | 2024/25 Performances

    This point is overstated to a degree. I mean, no doubt, the way we played under ETH was often a lose-lose situation but lets not act as if thats solely down to the manager. Casemiro had so much ground in front of him because the guys in front of him were often too agressive pushing up while not...

  14. Amad Diallo | 2024/25 Performances

    For the final I'd agree (if Amad is fully fit of course) but for the 2nd leg, we don't need him as long as things don't go crazy badly. With a 3-0 lead, there is no single incentive for us not to keep it tight and compact and let Athletic commit while we try to set up counters for Garnacho.

  15. Should the captaincy be removed from Bruno?

    You are completely right. Especially the things you listed are what he was always criticized for. I don't get it either. It's what they do sometimes. Guess there are quite a few about Rashford that come to mind... He is drifting in some games and in other games he seems to go to where he finds...
