Paying £70m and another £70m for his four year contract for a 30 year old player is sheer desperation, not forgetting Casimero has been playing in La LIga were 90% of Real Madrid's games are a walk over.
He is going to have a big shock playing in the Premier league, the pace is totally different from Spanish football , Rodri was eight years younger than Casimero when he signed for us and it has taken him three seasons of graft to become the best defensive midfield player in the league,at 30 years old the Rags £140m savour is on a downward trajectory , this is going to end in tears , yet another false dawn.

Completely agree, and so typical of this aimless rabble.

Cashemiro has been given the most insane superannuation lump sum before he retires. He’s chortling all the way to the bank.

Can't figure out what the grand plan is for them now? Casemiro will need to sit in deeper and not be asked to press, but dropping Maguire suggests they still want to play high up the pitch?

As with pretty much every signing made by them over the past 5+ years, there is no plan. They’ll just play him and expect him to perform like he did at Madrid, it’s another one that will end in tears.

Honestly don’t think they could be run any worse if a Blue was in charge…
 
a rag season ticket holder i know says the glazers have approved a £200m spend before the window ends?
 
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” — attr. Albert Einstein.

Yet again, short-term fix, no strategy. Panic behaviour. Some resemblance to ours years ago, before the takeover, when we used to change managers the way people change their socks. Leading to players on our books that a manager recently sacked had chosen, and that the incoming one didn't want. The difference is that they're filthy rich, and we weren't. Although of course the Glazers take money out of their club because, faithful to the American capitalist perspective, a sports club is above all a business operation, and only secondarily part of the fabric of a community.
That club's difficulties will continue. I raise a glass to their difficulties.
