Florentino masterclass
Has Case declined that much? Many teams are looking for a 6
Nah, tactics, injuries and an inconsistent backline have made his job more difficult. We’re not exactly a functional team at the moment.
More reactionary, low IQ takes from this subreddit.
He struggled when he joined looked overpriced, but he found himself quickly after that and was brilliant for us playing really tidily as a 6. This season it’s like he’s completely forgotten how to play in a single pivot, making some of the dumbest passes he never even thought of last season. He’s also been a couple steps slow and all of those borderline 5050s are clearly fouls/cards now. So now he plays in a double and ETH went out and bought Amrabat last minute after realizing the massive risk in midfield.
So while his discipline hasn’t changed, his quality as a player has declined considerably. Without the athleticism we’ve known him for, and tactical awareness he showed last season, he’s a shell of himself right now.
It’s only Bayern or Barca
I don’t think he declined but hit form later during the season (Feb - May)
And Liverpool.
I would love to see him succeed again, hopefully he recovers form and moves to Bayern.
We should try to loan him out in the winter transfer window.
Cant run or pass
He’s probably decline but let’s be honest it’s probably more just the United effect of the past years of making every player look worse
He looked like an absolute beast last season tho…in a united shirt
I don’t think he has declined that much at all. I believe it’s the slight change of tactic by EtH that leaves him isolated most of the time this season.
Bingo. This thread is off the mark.
You don’t decline that much over a summer break. There has to be more to the story that we aren’t privy to.
He already was declining by the middle of last season. If you watched the games you people would know this. This has been a long time coming.
He’s been played in a bit of a different role this year that’s seen him being an offensive threat but defensively weak. Not sure why ETH’s done this.
It takes time for the Madrid to wash off of him
It also takes time for the United effect to kick in.
He’s lost his legs basically
He tripled his wage (by some accounts), and he’s playing for a club that has been a mess for most of the time he’s been there. I think it’s possible he’s not as driven as he once was along with age catching up to him as well.
He really hasn’t, ten hag simply has used Casemiro in a way opposite to what he’s good at. He’s not a singular controller, he’s made to play quick forward passes with a lot of options.
He’s declined but not as much as it initally looks like I think.
We’ve changed how we play this year to a single, rather than a double pivot and it constantly exposes Casemiro’s shortcomings and decreasing mobility.
Shows why we pissed money on Sangare as he will go for 60m plus if he’s half decent, despite him not showing much remarkable talent with the ball he’s simply a big ass 6 which every team needs nowadays
It’s the united DM curse. Be transformative for half a season and then fall off a cliff.
Serious answer - his form declined after those two suspensions towards the end of the season. Then this season he was sluggish and that combined with new tactics lead to gigantic defensive fragility overall. It was so bad ETH has reverted back to double pivot for now (also because of injuries).
As expected, this bald fraud can’t handle world class players because of his ego. Ronaldo first, Ddg next, Varane and Casemiro were always going to be the next scapegoats. Dreadful man management and plays his favourites day in day out even if they’re completely out of form (Rashford and Antony).
Ronaldo was right from the get go
SAAUUDIII PROOOO LEEEAAGUUEE
I would just like to say I called it when he left. It was glaringly obvious but most people didn’t want to see it.
I got mobbed when I said that the Casemiro transfer was just another shortsighted transfer that United overpaid for, that fee was unjustifiable.
Wow MUFC got a huge life line
However they missed out Kim and Rice
What’s the plan now ?
I hope we start from scratch, similar to Arsenal and Liverpool. Just start building a team for the future even if we finish 8th or 10th or whatever. That’s the only way to ensure a stable future.
Suggest something.
They can always try to go for Frenkie, right?
I dunno if this makes me (and any other Utd fans) feel any better, but we were never getting either of those two. Rice was a pretty long shot all things considered, and Kim would never have chosen us over first team football at BuLi champs Bayern.
It’s a sad state of things, but United have not been serious contenders for ages now. We shouldn’t be trying to lure in big names with even bigger wages. Our wage structure is already fucked up beyond repair, and we only seem to be making it worse.
I think if Qatar or sir Jim happened then maybe
Kane waited for MUFC too
Kane would’ve only gone to people not in direct competition with Spurs i.e City. Levy wouldn’t have ever sold Kane to a PL rival. It was more wishful thinking on our end. And looking at how shambolic our team currently is, in retrospect it was a great decision by Kane not to come to OT.
The problem wasn’t money 100-150m
But people questioned his age 29, this a guy who is never injury and doesn’t relay on athleticism
Could play till 38-40
The problem was that United wouldn’t get him if Levy could decide it (so this summer) and then they would still’ve been in a hard competition with Real, Bayern and other clubs (if he would’ve gone on a free).
There are rumors about Antonio Silva. But Benfica tend to sell for high, so the wallet is gonna bleed.
Absolutely no idea about DM.
What’s the plan now ?
tank the season for a better draft pick
Sign players ETH managed at Ajax
Alright say we do offload em for a decent bit of money, who should we replace them with?
Decent bit of money? Who would buy a CB who is almost always injured and a midfielder who is old and fouls like a son of bitch?
Not gonna lie Bayern has to get them both for a contract limited to end of next season Max. and could end up being the big winner out of this. Both would be highly helpful in Munich.
K bye
Wouldnt surprise me at all if Case and Fab was 2-3 years older than they say they are… ;-)
And on behalf of everyone at Real Madrid, we would like to thank them for over €150M in transfer fees as a result of them wanting a new challenge.
Thank you saudi arabia
Oh no. “Best DM in the world” and “Top 3 CB in the world” suddenly not good enough to compete for top 6?
Well, that backfired…
