On Casemiro’s age etc - worth keeping in mind Makalele joined Chelsea at exactly the same age, from the same club, in the same position, and worked out pretty well.

I think Casemiro is the first caveatlessly positive transfer I’ve seen from Utd in a good while, think it’s an especially good one (and I’m a bit annoyed they’ve managed it regardless what wages they’re paying).

Situation at Villa is super toxic.

Neto had the potential to be a brilliant player. I haven't seen much of him since his injuries but hopefully he can still fulfill his potential.

I think Casemiro is a great signing but i keep seeing people compare him to other DM who are noting like him,

Makalele & Fernandinho for example both lads are completely different body types and play different games to Casemiro,

Casemiro is a big lad he aint going to be zipping about like Fernandinho or Makallle even in his prime, Casaemiro is more of a Gilberto Silva or Emerson type of player, It ain't his legs that get him the ball its his reading of the game but there will be times he can't make up for positional errors,

Casemiro to date is brilliant not possible to question him until he is showing signs of not being brilliant ,

Makelele was signed by Ranieri into an improving Chelsea side and took off under Mourinho surrounded by Lampard Terry Robben etc. Casemiro is moving from Modric,Kroos and Benzema to McFred Maguire and Martial and a club slowly burning to the ground. 2 very different signings.

2 different circumstances - but on the merits of the transfer, adding a brilliant player in a much needed position is never a bad move. No, he likely won’t be the cause of a title challenge, but there is nothing actually negative about the footballing side of this transfer. He’s someone who will make the defenders behind him better, and the midfielders around him better (sure just look how much better Fred is at international level with Casemiro behind him).

a player doesn’t exist that would turn this Utd team into that Chelsea team, but Casemiro I think will be about as impactful as any one signing can be.

It’s the first time I’ve felt this about a Utd transfer in god knows how long.

Gordon has told Lampard & Everton he wants out.

Everton really looks like a sinking ruddlerless ship with a captain who is clueless.

I don't understand Chelsea going for Gordon at all

JPA · 23-08-2022 01:37PM

Do Chelsea need an intervention?

NIMAN · 23-08-2022 03:00PM

Some mad money being splashed this summer.

Everyone must be giddy cos Covid is over and they think it'll be all sunshine and rainbows from here on in.

A lot of average players or unproven ones going for big money.

On a side note, are Ajax the best team ever for bringing in transfer money? Surely they must operate a healthy profit most seasons?

Usually because they have the balls to take a punt on young players with a bit of potential.

It seems to be a business model that works for them.

Boost WC chances? Does he not realize he will be getting less game time at Chelsea than if he stayed at Everton

For that kind of money the smart move by Everton is to sell , we need strikers not Anthony Gordon - judge Lampard in 2 months and after transfer window.

The Portuguese teams, especially Porto and S.Lisbon are probably even better.

They're certainly acting like the town drunk who won a few pound on the ponies 🤣

wanderer100 · 23-08-2022 10:17PM

With Leicester rejecting Chelsea’s £70m bid for Fofana, be interesting to see if they turn they’re attention to Maguire now and throw together a desperate bid.

Most United fans would take 30m for Maguire tbh but I can’t see the club willing to sell him this late on in the window especially with Eric Bailly already gone now.

ben.schlomo · 23-08-2022 10:33PM

Gordon is a strange one all around. Surely he's not going to start for Chelsea. He's not that good, yet. If he'll ever even be. It's an absolute no brainer for Everton to sell if they can have a replacement and a striker or two lined up.

Relax brah · 23-08-2022 11:37PM

United need to offload Ronaldo in this window.

They play much better without him and he won’t be a good character to have in the dressing room if unhappy and not playing.

they would get good money for him now, sell him off to Chelsea

El Gato De Negocios · 24-08-2022 06:37AM

His agent has already hawked him to the likes of Chelsea, Madrid and Munich and nobody was interested. The reality is that he would upset the apple cart in any established team as the team would have to change to fit him in as opposed to him fitting into the existing team. The only hope he would leave would be if United let him go for a nominal fee and he took a massive salary hit. I feel he'll be at United til January at least.

Imagine if Messi bangs in five goals against some Bulgarian farmers team to get closer to his record

Agent Coulson · 24-08-2022 07:45AM

Ronnie’s ego must be taking a bit of a hammering knowing no top club wants anything to do with.

He'll be 38 this season, time to head to MLS I think.

Father Hernandez · 24-08-2022 12:38PM

Alexander Isak to Newcastle for £60million.

Serious signal of intent, a quality young talent.

The_Kew_Tour · 24-08-2022 12:45PM

Newcastle are two seasons away from challenging for league now.

JPA · 24-08-2022 01:12PM

Newcastle stepping it up with that signing.

TitianGerm · 24-08-2022 01:21PM

That's three of the most exciting youngish strikers after joining the PL this summer. Obviously Haaland out on his own.

Cookiemunster · 24-08-2022 01:36PM

Is Isak that exciting? He's a 1 in 3 striker. Last season he only scored 6 league goals. He's decent, but I don't think he's a €70m player. Although with the prices English clubs ar spending this summer I suppose it's no surprise.

Fitz* · 24-08-2022 01:46PM

Isak had a big season there a couple years ago before the Euros and still is only very young iirc.

He seems to be a bigger guy, tall but not filled out yet and those type strikers tend to develop later on. Can't say I've watched an awful lot of him bar the Euros and the odd snippet of a European game.

Big money. Didn't Arsenal try buy him a few years ago too?
