Casemiro and Varane left for the same reason, which was that they had enough with all the achievements at Real Madrid. Incidentally MU offered a higher salary so why not. Winning 5 UCL for Casemiro is indeed an extraordinary achievement, especially since he has won all the trophies at Real Madrid.
It's time for Casemiro to consider the big salary issue at Manchester United because his career has also been very bright at Real Madrid and also has extraordinary achievements as you say. Hopefully Casemiro can be very comfortable at Manchester United and still be able to give everything for another great achievement at Manchester United because he is not that old either.
He may not be that great but he is not the type of player that can turn a team into a winning team. They wanted to get De Jong and couldn't afford him, now they are looking at Casemiro, but they should have gotten a look at defenders instead, they think all their problems are about midfield and that’s a big mistake, looking at the 4 goals in 35 minutes, that wasn't about the midfield at all, that was about defence.

In the end, this transfer could happen or may fail and it would not change anything for United, whatever they can do with him, they can do without him and the result will be the same not because he is bad, but United is so bad that he can't change a thing.

I think they have got defenders already but they are not pairing up the right pair for the match. Ideal pair in my opinion would be Varane and Martinez that could solve lot of problems for United. Secondly , I think desperately needed a defensive midfielder who can maintain good possession of the ball in mid and maintain the ball distribution well and I think Casemiro is the right piece for them right now. It's a good signing focused on minimising the defensive problems they are facing right now. Now only thing they need to work on is attack which is kinda not much effective and they are working on Antony right now.

United wanted a midfielder they badly needed if they could bring in a midfielder they would become a much stronger team. Although they offered a hefty sum of €50 million just to cover their need for a midfielder player. But United could not be successful. Casemiro A very good player as a midfielder but he refused because of his love for Real Madrid.

United are also focusing on Ajax winger Antony and are confident that they will get him by the end. With Greenwood absence it seems a great target but Ajax are also not willing to let him go. However Antony wants the move to happen so possible that he might pressure from his side so next few days will be key days regarding this.

Regarding midfielder, they were after De Jong but seems like they have given up the pursuit so apart from Casemiro doesn't seems like another midfielder coming to United.

Fabrizio Romano has announced that the Casemiro deal is officially done!

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1560616579070582784?t=VPf6Z57H2eBcmOP0SvQUjA&s=19

It is a bit surprising actually. Because he just didn't prefer to play for a team in the Champions League and more importantly the last champion of the tournament. He must have got a very strong contract to be tempted towards Manchester United. This transfer was a need for Manchester United defense but it is doubtful if this would change too many things about the team quickly.

I actually love such kind of player who set their desire aside and help team help back. United are in very bad state and to help them lift back is a challenge and Casemiro feels up for it. This is a good transfer for United, I must admit as it will certainly add a strong player in defensive midfield position and maintain a good possession in mid which right now seems lost in United's gameplay.

Reports are that he will not be available for Liverpool's game so much likely will be available in next one after Liverpool game if everything works according to schedule.

Will Newcastle give Manchester City trouble? Because they are not very strong when compared to Manchester City, but also they definitely want to get the best result in this match. The meeting record between the two also shows that Manchester City is one team that makes them slump, even with a landslide goal. I doubt Manchester City will struggle to win the game.

I doubt if Newcastle United can withstand the pressure from the frontline of Manchester City. The Newcastle United head coach
Eddie Howe started the season with a big improvement having won one game and drawn one but facing Manchester City at St James' Park is a big knot to crack. City have a very good record against Newcastle United and with their current squad and performance, I strongly believe that Manchester City will grab an easy 3 points away from home. Currently, Manchester City has played two games, and they have scored 6goals without conceding any goal so facing Newcastle United will be all about City.

The chances are a little difficult but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Newcastle this season have ambitions to become the underdog with the power of their money slowly making their squad quite respected in the EPL and this will be proof for them now.
City are strong candidates for a third title return so it would be great if Newcastle could put pressure on City.
.

Yes there is slight chances of surprise but City are way ahead of teams like Newcastle. Newcastle have made some great signings but they still are far below level of City. However Halland is still adjusting at City so at the moment City is not in the best form but still they are playing great football. I think City will win the upcoming match but with not a big margin.

I know that Casemiro is a very skilled player. But there is no way he should be a 50 million transfer. I understand why Manchester United wants to get this player and I also understand why Casemiro does not want to stay at Real Madrid anymore.

But 50 million for this player is significantly overpriced. And obviously, after a few days, people will inevitably complain about this. Because only bringing Casemiro into the squad is not going to be enough. They also need competent defenders. I just hope that Casemiro does not get wasted like a lot of other players after his move to Manchester United.

With not much time left in transfer window end I can see why United put that 50 million bid.  It was a good offer and didn't went on to further negotiations so not much time wasted by United here but paid too much for the player. Thing is that United desperately wanted a defensive midfielder and getting Casemiro who has lot of experience was a tough given he was happy at Madrid. United desperately wanted the player and didn't wanted to waste time also and that's why 50 million bid was made and even gave a very good salary offer (much better than the current one at Madrid).

Liverpool vs Manchester United will be a very tough game for United, even though Liverpool are suffering injuries at the moment they still have an upper hand over the weak red devils. Manchester United will not be able to withstand the pressure from Liverpool this weekend. Maybe a third loss for Manchester United will make them buy new players. Obviously the two loses are not enough to make them become serious.

There is no doubt that this match will be competitive. Because both teams are yet to win a match this season. Liverpool drew both matches and Manchester United lost both matches. Liverpool's main weakness is that many of their players are injured right now. On the other hand, the United team is still not stable. They also lost 4-0 against a weak Brentford. Both teams will want to earn points in this match. This is Manchester United's home match. Let's see if they can take home benefits.

I think there is a huge gap in the level of play of both the teams. While I admit that both clubs have some world class players but United aren't playing like a world class team right now. We saw how they played against Brentford and Liverpool are way ahead of teams like Brentford and Brighton. Beating United shouldn't be much of a problem for Liverpool.

After experiencing two defeats in a row in the first week of the Premier League, Manchester United need to take action to make changes in several positions, especially for the next match they will face Liverpool, in this situation Liverpool maybe play a little aggressive because they also experienced unsatisfactory results in the Premier League In the last two matches, Jurgen Klopp's men might start their revenge where in a friendly some time ago they lost heavily to Manchester United.

The way United are playing right now is really unlike a play level of a big PL club. While Liverpool might have faced some surprising defeats in their last two fixtures but I think they are still better than United. Nunez's suspension is a problem but I think they are gonna go with Jota and Firmino in that position and they are good as well. United can stop them but given their last performance seems like Liverpool's win is likely.

Thilo Kehrer, a defender for Germany, has joined West Ham from Paris Saint-Germain in a move worth reportedly £10.1 million (€12 million). The 25-year-old has played 128 times for the Ligue 1 team since the start of the 2018–19 campaign and has spent the previous four seasons with PSG.

Kehrer joins West Ham this summer after Nayef Aguard, Alphonse Areola, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, and Flynn Downes.

I'd say it's such a great the deal for West Ham for that amount and given what Kehrer will bring to the team, he's had quite an mpressive spell at PSG, and he's played at the highest level possible in terms of club side football. He should be able to settle easily into the squad. I know the English Premier League is a completely different ball game from French Ligue and the requirements needed from him will be enormous.


Yeah a good deal for West Ham definitely as West Ham needed a defender and a they got a good experienced defender in form of Kehrer. Right now they are weak in defence and hope Kehrer is the solution for them. PSG have too much of players so getting a player out from them was too easy and not much expensive. Good deal for West Ham and smart strategy I must say.

What a drama Chelsea vs Spurs game was. Lot of argument and frustration between players and managers of both teams. Both managers were shown red card after the feud went on between the Tuchel and Conte after the  conclusion of the match. Spurs did well to find that equaliser but the corner kick also shouldn't have been counted as there was a foul on Cucurella by Romero which surprisingly wasn't given after VAR check.

Tomorrow is a national holiday in Italy but the day after...


We have increasing rumors about Depay. According to them, he will be in Italy Tuesday.

Last Romano reported was that Juventus haven't made any bids yet but they are about to soon. With Depay's departure , it will mean Aubameyang to stay at Barcelona and not move to other club (Chelsea interested) as Barca intends either Depay or Aubameyang to let go and not both of them. Depay hasn't seen much game time so much likely that he will be the one to go.

Real Madrid only brought in a few players who were considered capable of being additions and also covered some weaknesses last season, I think Real Madrid this season is quite efficient in transferring players and they may think the current squad is quite capable.

They are a good squad and with the two new signings I think that makes the squad complete. I don't see any need of further players and welcome unnecessary spending. Still in next transfer window or next year there might be need of some new players but as of now feels like they are complete.


I also read the news in several media, with the many trophies achieved by ancelotti of course he not needs to prove again his capacity as a great coach and it is time for him to retire at the peak of his career with Real Madrid.

Yeah he did said that Real Madrid is gonna be the last club he managed but we also don't know when he will plan to confirm his career end. It could be next year or maybe 3-4 years. His career at Madrid has been remarkable and its still on but last season was one of his best season at Madrid with such difficult tasks accomplished.

The best match of the week in the English Premier League may be the match between Chelsea and Tottenham. I have a hard time predicting the outcome of this match. Chelsea beat Everton away last week. Tottenham beat Southampton at home last week. Both teams started the league well. Both teams strengthened their teams by making important transfers before the season. Chelsea will use the home advantage in this match, but we all know that Tottenham are not an easy opponent.

Chelsea are still weak in defence so I am gonna predict Spurs win here but can't be sure. Chelsea without striker are gonna struggle scoring so I have gone for Chelsea score to be below 1.5 by the end of the game so well lets see. So far Chelsea are having good control and I can see Spurs struggling at the moment but we all know how good Spurs are at counters so Chelsea also might wanna look out on that.

It's 3-0 now for Brentford and United has very very slim chance of making a comeback. With so many blunders I don't think they are gonna win this. First Brighton and now Brentford..it's gonna take a while for United to put some points on the table if things goes on like this.
With all respect to De Gea but he isn't concentrated at all, better to get him off imo. Same for Maguire, get him out... What's wrong with them!! 4-0 now, what a joke, what a shame!

De gea is out of focus , Maguire is too, not much help in midfield, losing possession quickly and on and on.. Can we have betting lines for if Brentford are gonna hand United their worst defeat please. Cheesy

This is absolute shit show from United and United fans are furious in stands.

I do agree that United doesn't have a terrible roster, everyone focuses on what they are lacking, which is a good defender instead of Maguire, and they are missing Ronaldo of course because they need a very good striker.

So, I have to say that there is a good chance United could still win because they have great goalkeeper, great wings, great midfield, like they still have good players in the team for sure. If they can convince Ronaldo too, then the only problem is their centre back and that’s it. Which is all fine and dandy if you are playing against Brentford because not like they will be able to attack you all that much and would be not a big deal.

Problem is they still are struggling to score. As long as they have that problem and are also having someone who keeps on making mistakes on defence I am not sure of win especially when they are up against one of the toughest underdogs - Brentford. I like the lineup ten Haag has put for the match except for Maguire but well let's see how it comes out in this match.

Aston Villa won by 1 goal in the first half, Danny Ings managed to score a goal through a hard kick that Pickford was unable to block. the game of the two teams in the second half was quite exciting, everton played more aggressively than in the first half, i think aston villa must play carefully in the second half to be able to maintain this victory until the long whistle blows. two more minutes the game will be over and the score is 2-1 to win aston villa .

Aston Villa won the match 2-1. Everton's players could not score any goals. Lucas Digne's mistake gives Everton a goal. Everton's players attacked a lot in the second half to score, but they couldn't score. The season did not start well for Everton. They lost the first two matches. Hope they will be able to earn points in the next match.

I would say it was the pressure that forced the own goal. Had Everton reacted earlier they would have at least had a draw in there. They were spectacular in dying minutes giving Aston Villa's defence whole lot of trouble but Martinez and his defence line somehow managed to defend the net till the end except for that own goal.

Maguire after three seasons in Old Trafford had gone from a hope (after his transfer), a hero (in first season, he played very well), to zero (in the last season when he played very bad after the Euro).

Hero in first season? Did he (sure don't have any recollection of that) but right now is what matters and he is not performing like a first team player for the team.


Quote
I agree that Ten Hag should try to combine Varrane and Martinez. He should give these players opportunity to play at centre of United defense.

Yes he definitely should. Martinez is a great player and he needs experience right now to become a solid defender. They have given too much chances to Maguire, now its time for Martinez.
1238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 12, 2022, 07:06:07 PM
Chelsea are also working on bringing Aubameyang from Barca. Aubameyang arrived at Barca 6-7 months ago and Xavi also likes the player so I personally don't think it's gonna happen unless Chelsea offers a bid that is too good to let it go given the value of the player. What do you guys think?
1239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 12, 2022, 03:18:19 PM
However, I still doubt that Ten Haag will be able to make United back to what they were in the golden era with the current squad.
They need some more fresh great players to replace the existing players who are not really give contribution in the last few seasons.

It's a big task but given his contributions at Ajax I have some hopes on him fixing United. Yeah they need some fresh players and as long as they don't work on that it's gonna keep on giving them same results on and on. I am eagerly looking forward to see Martinez-Varane as centre back and no Maguire please. Its time for United to come out strong from here on.

Richard Arnold was a hard friend of Ed before, he was just like a new bottle of old wine when he took that CEO position. See how he works no different than a few years ago, slow and lacks of direction. The difference now is just listening to the coach more because he admits he has no football expertise lol. If MU now wants to change for the better, time to have someone who has both heart and expertise like Van de Beek just like when it was in Ajax.

When it comes to bit of business thing there needs to some kind of coordination between coach and the director. It's not like football expertise or something. At times it is possible that both director and the manager or coach might argue about something and have different vision and I have seen a manger sacked like this. There needs to be an understanding which is essential. Both coach and director needs to believe in each other to keep things in good motion.
