Can see why Real fans have loved him over the years. So damn likeable. And it's easy to see that his peak level is world class.
 
I remember when some in this place were trying to convince people that he couldn't pass. :lol:

The man is an excellent passer with both feet. Calm and composed on the ball. Earlier in the season he simply needed to get up to speed and start rolling but predictably the Caf is full of impatient posters who know feck all about the game, so they got to whining about him before he even got started.
 
Best midfielder we had since Carrick. He is just so good and cool as a cucumber.
 
Amazing. He allowed Fred so much freedom going forward.
 
Very smart player. Always seems to know what he wants to do with the ball before receiving it. Most of the times he only touches it once or twice before passing and despite him being a defensive midfielder his instinct is to play the ball forward immediately. Great performance tonight!
 
Didn't realise he was this good on the ball.
Me neither. If you don’t watch la liga it may not be obvious as he was know as a holding workhouse midfielder but you don’t play for Real Madrid if you’re not very good on the ball.
 
Casemiro is much better than I thought he was and I thought he was world class. His passing is so clean, really can pick out a teammate on the switch or with the through ball. Brilliant in the air, wonderful plugging the gaps. Can't speak more highly of the man.
 
Incredible and yeah +1 about his on the ball qualities. I was seriously beginning to think he just laid it off to Kroos/ Modric at RM and he wasn’t all that on the ball.
 
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.

Should be unbanned to see what they made of that match.
 
When last did we see a DM performance like that from one of our players? Probably not since one of Carrick's games in 2013. His performance was superb both on and off the ball.

His passing has been such a welcome surprise and makes such a difference in how the team progresses the ball from midfield to attack.
 
Should be unbanned to see what they made of that match.
Nah, should keep him away. That sort of ignorance shouldn't be allowed to permeate around the forums. There should be a concerted effort to reduce the amount of stupid posts.
 
Absolute boss, we can compete with the best with him there. Such an upgrade once he's settled.
 
What did people really expect? It's Casemiro.
Most people didn't expect his passing. People on these board as well as the media don't watch much la liga and only see the 2 la liga giants in action when they play each other or in the CL. This is why you have the likes of Souness questioning his passing ability and claiming Modric and Kroos had been covering his passing deficiency. Spoken like someone who didn't watch La Liga games.
 
He does everything so effortlessly. What a colossal of a signing this might prove to be.
