Why do they ever write this stuff? If he’s going to bullshit a story at least make it plausible like he’s the number 1 backup signing if Varane doesn’t happen.

We obviously aren’t signing 2 CB’s that’s just fecking stupid

Can’t wait for him and Varane to be this season’s player comparison debate, as the Twitter teens yell ‘fraud’, ‘my defender’, ‘get ratioed yall’ and all those other overused meme phrases at each other :rolleyes:

That's a failed prediction that would bury someone nowadays
Wasn't a prediction.

I hurtled down on the train from Euston to Lille to sign the young French defender Raphael Varane, David Gill was getting into the finer points of the contract with Lens when Zinedine Zidane got wind of this and somehow scooped him up for Real Madrid from under our noses.

I don't get how there's "no other clubs in the race" for Varane.
I reckon teams talk to agents to get wind of interest. If a player says 'id like to play in this league" but thats it, then I expect we would see numerous clubs in for him.
If however a player has talked and is looking at a specific club (I feel the same for Sancho too) then, unless a club has the ability to trump it with a lot more money (as weve seen chelsea and city do a few times, and even us in the 90s), then I guess the clubs might feel its a waste and look elsewhere?
If that makes sense

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

Feels good to be in a position where we can do that again.
