What’s this nonsense here. It’s obviously for the money, any other theory is bonkers. And that isn’t inherently bad, but you analogy is not good.

A quick glance over the caf would have told him that or a meeting with rangnick.
Gives me matic vibes this one but i dont even care. A midfield of a casemiero, Fred she eriksen is at least functional and not balanced. I cannot see McFred anymore. It bleeds my eyes
Still getting my head around this signing possibly being announced and people throwing up their hands in disappointment and/or anger.
Serious question. When was the last time your club had an actual strategy? Would have had to be Fergie era surely.
He's not coming for a new challenge. He's coming, or might be as he's not signed yet, because we are probably offering to double his wages.
Don't be so naive. Otherwise we could offer him same money surely?
My analogy is perfectly fine. I can take another job JUST for the money. Why does that mean I automatically will suck at my new job?
Also players want new challenges all the time. He’s spent his career there and won it all. Isn’t it possible he wants to try something else? Of course it is. Never said likely, the money is 100% a huge factor, but never rule out everything else just because its easy and feeds into the negative character of this place/around the club.
Thats not how life works.
I might cry, an actual honest to god world class midfielder, here, at utd!?!
I actually can’t believe they’re are people saying walk away from this
Who?
Not having to play McFred duo together is a victory in itself!
They are none for their longevity as much as any other nation. I mean in the past 10-15 years we have Lucio, Ze Roberto, Dani Alves, Pepe, Miranda, Thiago Silva, Thiago Motta, Fernandinho and many others.
Pretty sure signing Casemiro if possible should be every clubs strategy
There is no issue at all. There ain't a single player who doesn't play for money. We just have to be sure it's not JUST for money
Hopefully we manage to sign a second midfield as well. Casemiro alone, albeit a massive improvement, would not resolve all of our issues in the middle.
Very good point mate!
If he joins and plays on Monday, I hope he destroys those scouser feckers.
FINALLY some steel and character in the midfield instead of the softies we have now.

He’s a hell of a player. I’d absolutely adore it if we sign him.
Goodness. Some of you are so miserable and depressing that you make the Matchday threads feel like paradise.
I'm certainly not saying that. He's a top player. I'm just playing devils advocate and wondering why he'd leave the current Spanish and CL champions to play in the Europa League.
It's a risky deal even though he's a good player.
Are you trying to hoodwink people with your bank analogies again
Casemiro in the market can get any wage he wants.
What more of a challenge is there to move to the best league in the world? Where’s the lie?
So satisfying to watch
That's on him. You just can't afford not to see our glaring weakness. It was quite clear we needed a new midfield . If it took 3 months to know.about it for a coach like him , then I do have worries.
Interesting, As Madrid fan, wouldn't you think that Valverdi, Tchouameni & Camavinga are excellent young CMs, and should be ready to perform now?
Yes like they didn’t sell Robben, Ozil, Di Maria (who had a very good career after his one season here), Kovacic, Hakimi, Ødegaard, Theo Hernandez, Makalele, Xabi Alonso etc
Let's forget that you're a tad late to the party, and embrace the fact that you turned up at all.
How tall is he? 6ft?
Nobody is interested in your shite analysis of what kind of a player he is Ballbag.
He knew - hence why we’ve been chasing De Jong since day one
He isn't being pushed out so it's more Sanchez/Schweinsteiger vibes, except reportedly much more expensive than either.
He's leaving a top team to join one that's massively off the pace. It's the money mate.
I think he's a top top player but these deals come with red flags. Di Maria and Sanchez were top players too. They came for the money and look how that went for us.
Let's hope if we get him it's different this time and he stays humble and grafts.
So did he never watch any of our games prior to joining?
Makes more sense than Casemiro-Eriksen-Bruno
Delete this shit.Casemiro
Fred - McT
Eto'o should always be named, people forget about it.
Very good player. But strange move to make a big investment in a CM who will be 31 before the end of the season, but I suppose long term concerns go out the window when your desperate
