Casemiro's going to be a loss. Still a good player for them. Thankfully, he wasted some of his last most able years under Amorim and Ten Hag.

 

Very important player. Would have loved him to stay on but not at those wages, especially after the increase when we qualify for the CL.

Jesus there's a blast from the past. Came in similar sort of time as Milosevic to Villa. Remember the Shoot & Match magazines bigging them up as huge stars and both flopped over here (Savo League Cup Final wonder goal aside).

One of the most overrated and over protected players of all time.

 

One of the best DM's in the world in his 20's. :lol: 

His receipts:

 

Quote

Casemiro made 336 appearances for the Whites, scoring 31 goals, a remarking figure for a central midfielder, winning 18 trophies: 5 European Cups, 3 Club World Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 3 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups. With the Brazilian national team he has won 1 Copa América.

 

Kicked the shite out of us in League Cup Final too. Please expand on your statement, sir.

His receipts represent why he's overrated. A player of his ability shouldn't have those honours. He's not alone, there are tons of players whose achievements far surpass their abilities, he's just an extreme example of that.

 

A player of his ability should never have been involved in a 'who has the better midfield?' question vs Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets.

 

He was also massively protected by refs, and had that combo of being a properly dirty player who got away with murder and being a play acting prick with it.

Oh you actually meant it. :lol: I thought you were baiting me. 

 

That's an interesting take. He was a world class DM for 6-7 years in my opinion and even now he's performing at a high level for us. He's not as good as Busquets, but that's an extremely high bar.

Casemiro was clearly an elite player, saying otherwise is just being controversial for the sake of it.

Dismissing it in that way also isn't really an argument tbf. I've said why I think he was overrated and I've been saying it for years, so it's not like I just said he was overrated and left it at that.

You and Fabrizio need to learn the correct use of this term.

Casemiro was better than Busquets as an all round player.  For tiki taka and similar systems Busqueta is perfect and far better than Casemiro. Casemiro could play possession, could play transitional, would crash the box and come up with goals. 
 

 

That's all well and good but Busi clears him with his eyes closed. It's not even close.

This opinion isn't that uncommon, which is a big part of why I think he's so overrated. It's apples and oranges, but even with that in mind he can't lace Busquets' boots.
