Celebrating Casemiro’s first tactical foul with no yellow card like a goal

 

[haicheo]

Which is why I saw don't expect much from Casemiro. Playing with that United team will make him hand in a transfer request by end of season.

Eriksen and Bruno will be able to play more freely with the confidence that Case is behind them, not Scott ****ing Mctominay

 

[vtotheinay]

wow we're still improving. about to be impossible to stop this year

Part of the 30th anniversary the Premier League have been uploading pretty good features on the league.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Serie a had big talent drain this summer, 13 u-23 players have left the league

 

[HNL HI]

Mbappe practicing the 6 rings, art of war and the 48. With a dash of the prince.

RM should tell casemiro to tank the season so united hates him and then they loan him back to them next summer for the same salary he was on before this contract. do the leipzig/inter strategy

Honestly. This was a fairly well done transfer for us. No saga, no disruptive drama, no bad press for anyone. And still squeezed top dollar.

Maybe Tchouameni makes the leap by midseason and this winds up looking like a great piece of business.

No doubt this is a great move for madrid. Real model of how a club should be ran. Only issue I ever had with you lot is your ability to produce your own talent but that’s just nitpicking.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Damn we got a even better deal than I thought

I would say we have a disregard for our own talent, we produce plenty

The 13 most profitable youth academies in the world since 2015

Youth academies are a fundamental part of any football club as they give chances to young players to develop and potentially become good enough to command a big fee, and this can help clubs generate income whilst also allowing local players an opportunity to shine.

I get what you mean, but as a fan of the club I’m not mad La Fabrica is second in the world in academy sales revenue since 2015. So there’s gotta be some talent coming through.

We’ve also gotten really good at identifying, acquiring, and developing players in that 15-18 range. Camavinga to Rodrygo against City, and Fede to Vini against Liverpool highlights that.

Either way, hope the investment in Casemiro helps turn the tide for y’all.

One of the swiftest transfers I've seen in ages. Rumor was announced and the deal was done.

Who’s faster? This version of Bale or Mbappe?

 

[noskey]

Casemiro goes for 70. I dont want Arsenal paying more than 25 for Tielemans at this point

Can’t get over how much of a legend Casemiro is. Left us with all those CLs and a bag as a parting gift.

Think it’s cool Tchouameni showed competitive drive joining RM’s stack mid and now is serendipitously rewarded with the reigns in season 1. Maybe learning on the job with Kroos and Modric isn’t a bad alternative to being Cas’s understudy. After all it’s how Casemiro learned.

Thats tough, prime Bale was a pace demon.

Mbappe might have faster acceleration but I'd probably take that Bale's straight line speed. He used to be a short distance sprinter too in school
