Noises that Casemiro to United is actually happening...

I still don't buy it, but.... he's clearly a top drawer player. And he should be fine for a year or two. But a 4 year contract to a 30 year old...... It's not exactly building for the future.

" United have also targeted the Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, 74..."
Obviously a typical Grauniad typo...but, then again...?

Like I said. Any of us can become head of recruitment at United. Buy big names or ten hag connections. Easiest job in the world.

To be honest, they've probably thought long and hard as to how they can possibly make the team worse and no nonagenarians were available

Casemiro. Hmm. Last player we got from Real turned out to be a crock. And that wasn’t even a desperation signing.

I have no enthusiasm anymore.....Casemiro, wtf, £51m for a 30 year old, wtf, when you've got a 20 year old Caicedo who could have been had for £10m last season or the countless other young hungry potential worldies that can be had for sub £30m....

The scouting is a farce and we are better off letting ETH choose the players than the clowns in the scouting department.

Our transfer strategy is beyond a joke. I'd take Casemiro simply because he's another pair of legs and has experience, but it'd be another mega contract that he'd run down unti he's way past his best.

And if that Anthony thing is to be believed. FFS lads, 4 months to try and get someone ETH clearly loves and now they make a bid. Obviously Ajax are gonna want €200m for him

We never learn do we? 60m on a player that has no resale value and who's likely now moving just beyond his peak. Better than what we've got, no doubt at all, but absolutely no planning or strategic thinking at play at all. It's a more expensive version of when we signed Matic.
