I know Saudi have no FFP or money related issue but they know that they could most likely obtain him for half that price right?Source being what it is (Caughtoffside) but anyway...
That would still be a significant overpayment TBH.I know Saudi have no FFP or money related issue but they know that they could most likely obtain him for half that price right?
I read that accounting for all possible bonuses, 42 million would mean his transfer fee would be covered for FFP purposes.That would still be a significant overpayment TBH.
He's on significant wages and still has 2 years left on his contract. Given how awful he played this year, United should be happy to just let him go in order to clear wages. Getting a fee for him would be a pure bonus.
nah, 20 mil and I'm sure United sells, they'd be crazy not toI know Saudi have no FFP or money related issue but they know that they could most likely obtain him for half that price right?
He was bought for 70m amortized over 5 years. So 14m/year which means that, yes, 42M is left over.I read that accounting for all possible bonuses, 42 million would mean his transfer fee would be covered for FFP purposes.
If he'd continued to play like he did the first year, it wouldn't have been that bad a deal. He was excellent.christ, i don't think i'd clocked that United paid 70m for Casemiro
It was like half way through his first year (or like 3/4) when he got that red card at Palace for the stupid off the ball incident. Since then he’s been bad.If he'd continued to play like he did the first year, it wouldn't have been that bad a deal. He was excellent.
He absolutely retired this year and is only collecting a paycheck now though.
It’s like he realized it isn’t worth trying anymore.It was like half way through his first year (or like 3/4) when he got that red card at Palace for the stupid off the ball incident. Since then he’s been bad.
Once he stopped getting away with the cheap little fouls, he was completely useless.It’s like he realized it isn’t worth trying anymore.
I used to think that’s all he was good for but his passing and timely attacks in the box was pretty underratedOnce he stopped getting away with the cheap little fouls, he was completely useless.
Yeah definitely Casemiro is underrated in possession. Issue is that he can’t keep up with the play and Mainoo was better in possession for United this season. So when you can’t defend and are the secondary outlet in possession, you’re gonna look pretty useless.I used to think that’s all he was good for but his passing and timely attacks in the box was pretty underrated
It was never going to be a value purchase, but I think if United got what they did the first year again this year and even for half of next, it would have largely been an decent transfer. As much as Jussi goes on and on about FFP hindering United, they usually get the guy they want without concern for price and it's not as if 70m for Casemiro would have been the worst money they've spent recently. It may not even be top 3.He was still what 30?
In what world was 70, and paying him 350k a week not a complete bonehead move.
Sure, he was better last year. But most people with a brain could have surmised that at some point the cliff would come. It happens to a lot of central midfielders. He shouldn't have been as bad as he's been at times... but that type of money, even spread out over the length of the contract is stupid.
I mean, sure, they've lit other money on fire. But 70 million, PLUS 350k in wages (if that's what it actually is) over 5 years makes it worth closer to another 91 million. You can't take the fee in the vacuum, sure, but just because they've screwed up arguably worse, doesn't make it a decent transfer anyhow.It was never going to be a value purchase, but I think if United got what they did the first year again this year and even for half of next, it would have largely been an decent transfer.
