Why did Antony looked so angry?
I saw that going through his previous post and I was shocked that he actually wanted Arthur here over Casemiro
That made a light go off my head, I guess he just has to take the L.
As an angry celebrator myself, I can relate!
I don't think anybody really believes that tbh.
I still have no idea how we signed him but I sure as hell am glad we did.
Just leaving this here
Getting back to posters like @Yagami, surely we can all understand where the cynicism comes from. We've brought in a number of aging -- let's say "mature" -- players over the last decade and most haven't worked out that well. Ronaldo had a very productive season for us in 21/22, but this season he has not exactly been stellar.
Casemiro, well, a certain level of apprehension was warranted. But I was mind-boggled that we could bring in a footballer of such quality, even if he was past peak.

@Yagami will never be able to live this down
And to think people didn't mind us spending over 100+ million on Declan fecking Rice. He cant even do half of what Casemiro does, I am gad we moved on.
Rice is very widely regarded as excellent; you will barely find a pundit who disagrees and most are saying he’s gone up another notch.
Casemiro’s fantastic, and I was enthusing about him after his first few rusty cameos - he is obviously top class - but he’s 30 and that’s the only reason we could get him for what we paid. Someone will pay £100m plus for Rice, just not us.
He had him in his team of the week this week
He’s found something new to moan about now though in the Ronaldo situation.There's a genuine alternative to Declan Rice in the league aswell, in the Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo who not only looks to have more about him on the ball but looks quicker and more agile going both ways and likely won't cost as much.
Let's just be content that we'd probably never get linked with Declan fecking rice ever again.
The plan might be to sign either Rice or Caidedo for the long-term. I think it might even be in our best interests to make a move for Caicedo in the not too distant future. He's been playing under two progressive coaches in Potter and De Zerbi, which is also a plus and prepares one tactically for a coach like ten Hag.Let's just be content that we'd probably never get linked with Declan fecking rice ever again.
He’s an absolute cockHe had him in his team of the week this week
Oh the same pundits that said Martinez won't make it as a CB in PL, Casemiro was never that good etc. Plus the same pundits who never speak bad about English players even if they stink up the place Grealish , Maguire and more. Anyone who pays over 100 million for Rice will regret within two month of the signing.
Exactly, finding a replacement for Casemiro shouldn't even be a priority right now. When the time comes, I am positive we will find a great option for half of what Rice will cost.
I’m sorry to offend anyone who disagrees, but Rice will never be near the Casemiro we’re seeing right now, who is past his prime. Rice is s very decent footballer, but Casemiro is on a different level.
Asking him to tatt it on your penis then... assuming that you are still socially active. Movement and screaming will be added features.
Why the feck are we having a Rice and Casemiro conversion?
a little concerned that, that would make it easier to spot me in a line up.
That may be the last of your concerns.
Because that's what the cafe does - comparisons.
Sounds like a good meal, I'd like to have some of that rice with casemiro please.
I'll get my coat.
Agreed, if it ever was a binary choice between caicedo and rice the former seems much more logical and I thinks an easy decision all said and done.
It's silly anyone would watch Casemiro and drag him down to the level of West ham.
No they won’t.
Plus the fact that the former is a United fan and the latter a Chelsea fan.
I think Potter would be talking to the Chelsea board to go out and get in Caicedo next window, knowing Kante isn't going to last forever with the amount of injurie he's getting.
Caicedo would represent a smart buy for anyone but i do feel we should sign FDJ in the next summer and hope to pair him with Casemiro for at least 2 seasons, which should give us some good enough time to faze out Fred, Scot and others as we make room for the next Generation of CM, CDM and AM.
In our Youth team there are some promising looking talent that can be molded into what the Manager wants. Players like Savage, Zidane and Hannibal could benefit from having a proper coach like Hag, i really hope they do cause we can't be spending 70m every summer on midfielders.
Guys, this is the Casemiro performance thread. Not a fecking Declan Rice or Caicedo thread. Keep on topic please.
Cherry on top, we probably should have gone for the kid when he was available but perhaps that's for the best, he might have stagnated here otherwise .
Past his prime… says who?
Yeap. You just have to read the thread from a couple of years ago, and how close we were to getting him:

Fair question, but it seems more likely than not that Casemiro is not at peak right now. Yet it may be the case that he has yet to reach his peak. Or that he is at peak as we, well, speak.
People slandering Casemiro earlier should do a self-reflection.
With in-form Casemiro in the midfield, I’m not very concerned with Varane being out till the WC. I bet Lindelof and even Maguire will look decent with Casemiro screening and good pressing structure in front of them. Hopefully, no more vanishing acts from midfield with Casemiro there esp in defending transitions which has been the bane for our defense for a bit.
I adore him. What a fecking player.
I hope he he scores with one of his absolute rockets soon, the effort against Spurs was so crisp.

I can't see or hear his name without singing this in my head...
Hands up if you thought no-one will pay £100m for Grealish or £70m for Casemiro.
