Enjoy sticking in the newbies, sunshine.
Writing a player off after a few sub appearances is beyond embarrassing.
But he's never wrong about a new signing. NEVER.

I hate to say it but am I ever wrong about a new signing. This guy is finished, Madrid sold us a dud. No wonder Ten Hag doesn't start him. He doesn't suit the type of football Ten Hag wants to play. He's a destroyer type DM and what we need is a possession based DM like Carrick/Busquets. It's another 60m down the drain and he'll probably just be a last 10 minutes off the bench player which is what he should be at most. Early days I know but I don't think he's going to be a good player for us, he's another player that lacks mobility like Maguire and they struggle in the premier league. Clearly he's not as immobile as Maguire, but he's not the quickest and not the youngest which is going to cause him problems.
I really doubt it. We’ll have to see.Casemiro isn't really b2b in the way that Fred and McT are though.
You need a runner in midfield who can carry the ball and go forwards.
If we introduce Casemiro in then we either expect Eriksen to go B2B and run with the ball (unlikely) or play Casemiro - McT - #10 with Casemiro having the initial build up responsibility.
Is it me or he looks chubby.. he’ll come good soon, he is class.
It was sadly predictable. Big name. Big fee. 30. There always seems to be a section of fans that like to scorch newcomers if they don't hit the ground running with 10 interceptions, 3 assists and a goal on their debut.Two games in and some people are writing him off? Wow.
Wow people are writing this guy off or any player and saying he's finished not even after 1 start, but 3 sub appearances that is a total 51 mins of game time. It must be a record surely
A player who hasn't had a pre season with the squad to be integrated with the system and hasn't played under ten hag before unlike Martinez and Antony, and I hear people complaining he doesn't start and then cry after he comes off the bench in the last 15-20 minutes and isn't bossing the game, making 5 assists and scoring hattricks, after we are trying to preserve a lead
I even hear some conspiracies on fan channel that say he was forced on to ten hag, and is not even in his plans, even though the manager explained the reasons for him not starting straight away before the game.
And the evidence for that is that McTominay is starting?He doesn't suit the type of football Ten Hag wants to play. He's a destroyer type DM and what we need is a possession based DM like Carrick/Busquets.

Couldn't give a feck what they think frankly.Real Madrid fans in their Spanish forum.
"His team beat Arsenal 3-1 and his first touch is a very embarrassing turnover. What a good sale"
"Casemiro is still a substitute at United. He left 3 games ago and here at Madrid not even his friends remember him anymore. He will soon realize that it is quite cold outside of Madrid"
"The style of the Premier League is to run all the time and press for 90 minutes... Casemiro will suffer. He is slow and has slowed down over the years.
On top of that he never knew how to move the ball around, and technically he is weak. He has always lost dangerous balls in the middle"
"I like Case very much and I wish him the best but I think we got the upper hand to United in this deal due to his age and price above all"
"If I'm United I'd pay for a 50 years old Modric before paying 70M for Casemiro. At least Modric would have made them better".

It's early days I know, but I'll be proven right unfortunately. I've never been wrong in my judgement.

That depends. What was your old account?I hate to say it but am I ever wrong about a new signing. This guy is finished, Madrid sold us a dud. No wonder Ten Hag doesn't start him.

I think this may well have been the case. De Jong was clearly the one Ten Hag wanted but as we reached the end of the window and that obviously wasn't happening, Casemiro suddenly emerged as a “gettable” quality player (at the right price / wages)Starting to presume that he wasn’t really a Ten Hag target and was instead one that the club, with the manager’s blessing, chose to pursue. The very clear Ten Hag targets (Martinez, Eriksen, Malacia and Antony) have all joined the team almost immediately. I suspect De Jong likewise would have been in the team ASAP.
I’m sure he can make his way into the team and become a near permanent fixture there, but he might have to wait for his chance. He’ll start midweek and he’ll get a Premier League game start soon as McTominay is already on four yellows.
It’s great to have competition for places!

Confirmation / selection bias, humans are fallible. Uncertainty is a characteristic of the universe if somehow you manage to do something that the 117 or so billion humans to have ever lived then congratulations.
Statistically realise that you are wrong, and will continue to be like plenty of us Casemiro will be great by October.
Haha too soon? Give him like 8 games or so please, he barely played and did well except against Arsenal. Our fans are probably up there with the least patient ones (or, one might say, dumbest ones)Way too soon to write him off,he’s still adapting to a new league and team.
Yup crazy to write him off after so little game time.Haha too soon? Give him like 8 games or so please, he barely played and did well except against Arsenal. Our fans are probably up there with the least patient ones (or, one might say, dumbest ones)
One might even say idiotic.Yup crazy to write him off after so little game time.

Righting him off
I would even go as far as riding him off.
I think McT also plays because he offers aerial protection to our defence where all are short except Varane.People writing him off already is typical caf. ETH can’t drop Mcsauce because, like it or not, he’s been good recently. When he drops off, I’m sure Case will start and do amazingly well.
