This post is mental. Casemiro is a better player than Rodri and, as you said, he only covers the upfront payment of an unproven 100m player from France.Shocking transfer, committing nigh on 150m quid for a guy who's just turned 30 and isn't really someone who'll singlehandedly make us top 4 challengers is such short sighted business. Worse still is everyone lapping it up like we've just pulled some sort of masterstroke. We've paid more than City did for a 23 year old Rodri and covered what Madrid paid up front for Tchouameni
Communicado Official: Casemiro #18

Finally some protection in midfield. Amazing signing.
The man can’t do it all alone.
Just let the transfer fee go. we needed quality in quick
Journos and pundits will love to pull it down. Can hear Trevor Sinclair already comparing it to Haaland but feck them.
Should be a very good signing

Nice. Finally an actual DM
I'm sure that's in Euros. Plus when are folks gonna learn the British press exaggerates everything concerned with United........
Delighted. Welcome Casemiro. Honestly feel he might be made captain before long. Nobody else is worthy. We have our new Roy Keane 
Can see him being a top player til 33/34 anyway, so I'm not bothered about the fee. Nothing about him says on the verge of a decline. He's a beast physically and is also a very smart player.

This signing proves the club has been doing nonsense this entire summer.
Great signing can't believe we've pulled it off relatively easily as well.
Amazing to read the negative posts,a genuine world class DM,but he's past it and we paid too much, it's not our money so who cares?
The club has been derided from all corners for its transfer business, us as fans should give them some credit for getting this done.

Let's try and be positive tonight.
@chocy
Proven winner and someone who won't shrink in big games let alone any game.
Let's do this!
Let's do this!
Casemiro is obviously a great player, but something really odd about it to me, speed it happened, lack of fight from RM to keep him, why he'd want to come here right now, etc, not sure what to make of it.
Welcome
Shocking transfer, committing nigh on 150m quid for a guy who's just turned 30 and isn't really someone who'll singlehandedly make us top 4 challengers is such short sighted business. Worse still is everyone lapping it up like we've just pulled some sort of masterstroke. We've paid more than City did for a 23 year old Rodri and covered what Madrid paid up front for Tchouameni
And got the best player out of the 3, by a distance.

A transfer who should be on paper brilliant, time will tell.
But the club wouldn't spend money they haven't got, so it really isn't an issue in terms of finance.
Tchouameni is no doubt going to be a good player, he is no where near a £70/80m player yet, they are banking on potential with him.
Whereas we know what Casemiro can do, we are paying for ready made talent.
Noice. A bit of class.
Looking forward to his first perfectly timed tackle…. and some idiot ref booking him…
Thank you! Great servant for you and he's fetched you a handsome transfer fee as well!
I like what I've read so far about the way he approaches things. Hoping it all goes well for him here. if he gives his all on the pitch, is all we ask for.

His biggest quality is how he reads the game. Trust me, you will see soon how great he is.
Unless you are secretly Joel Glazer and your pissed off this deal is going to affect your dividend, Im not sure what you expect Utd to do with 12 days left in the transfer window.
What would you have done differently at this moment? Sign no one?
Its clear despite our optimism a few months ago that we are struggling to attract quality right now. We need to get to a better level so we can get top 4 and then be able to attract the players we want. This means paying over the odds and maybe not getting the perfect first choice but thats the reality.
We need to accept it.
Beckham

Ronaldo
Casemiro
Di Maria

Anyone else played for United and Madrid?

Not my money…Shocking transfer, committing nigh on 150m quid for a guy who's just turned 30 and isn't really someone who'll singlehandedly make us top 4 challengers is such short sighted business.

His age has already been discussed at length (loads of top players in the world are his age… some older). Also fitness record very good…
He won’t single handedly do it but neither would Ronaldo, Messi or Mbappe. They’d make us better, so will Casemiro by shielding defence and getting ball to players who can do something dangerous with it…
And being out of the CL and getting such a top player IS a master stroke…
He’s better than Rodri…
I don’t care what whether our money ‘covers’ Madrids buys, I’m only interested in United…

Shocking post. We signed a world class DM, the first one we've signed since... when? Hargreaves?
Also, where are you getting £150m from? That's nonsense.
To be fair to whoever that is, the odds on this move happening a couple of days ago felt about the same as Mbappe going to Everton.
Tbh the media and some fans should not act like the club finally did something right. It's bs imo. They've been right all summer. FDJ chose not to come after holding out for most of the summer. We had always planned to get a midfielder, and one of considerable quality.
We still got a Cb, a good left back and another midfielder in Eriksen. We are also and have also been in the market for a forward. Nothing in our plans on the position we wanted to sign changed, yet Murtough and Arnold (both new in the lead positions) got packaged with Woodward. We still have 12 days in the window, a lot of time, yet where other clubs would have only been flamed at the end of the window, United got put under needless pressure from the start of August. The hysteria in relation to transfers was weird, it was clearly in the plan to get this position. Barcelona illegal practices, not incompetence from us, led to the delay.

Forgot about Little Pea, did consider Heinze, did he go there straight from us? Ok could obviously Google this
Nice, finally a DM
Happy with this. Absolutely out of nowhere and did not expect to see him leave Madrid until 34/5.
Would still like a ball playing midfielder as Only eriksen can find a pass.

Yes we sold Heinze to Madrid.
And Michael Owen.
2x better at least
Good dm signing. Something that we needed. Still prefer de Jong, but Casemiro should improve our team. Hopefully, we don't come back here in a few months time and say, why did we sign this guy
70m in transfer fees plus 72m in wages
Casemiro is not better than either Tchouameni or Rodri, especially not for the role ETH wants from his 6. They are/were much younger than he was when they were signed. Not to mention anyone thinking Tchouameni is some unproven kid who they've taken a gamble on clearly hasn't watched him, he's as guaranteed a world class player as anyone of his age in recent times.
It's a good deal for Real, they signed Tchoumanei to replace Casemiro and then get to sell Casemiro for a little less than they paid for the former.
They've got the bulk of the miles out of him and whilst we get a very good player we get a lot of the risk know for a player with a lot of miles in his legs.
