Chances of Varane suddenly becoming less injury prone than Bruno the moment we sign Kim?

Good
Unlike the above poster who said he was "Good", I disagree as from what I've seen him which admittedly is roughly 20 games or so only but he reminds me of Vidic in that he is brave, strong, good reactions, good reading of the game and strong in the air but think he's much happier giving it to someone to play the pass but he doesn't struggle under pressure as he uses his strength very well.
EDIT: Bear in mind he may be good on the ball and that's a tactical instruction from Spalletti as he has Rrahmani next to him who progresses the ball much better IMO
Is he dominant in the air? Really could do with another CB who is, and also a keeper who comes for crosses, should make a huge difference.
Would be an incredible peace of work to close this deal before the start of the pre-season tour and at the mentioned price.
Hopefully this would mean that we would have sorted our CB for a few years…
What feels even better is that this move would mean that Maguire this time really could be gone from the club as he hopefully wouldn’t want to be 4/5th choice (depending on whether Lindelöf stays or not

Seems certain that Maguire will be sold so it’s a no brainier to sign him with his buyout clause.
This would be a quality addition if we can get this done. Would allow us to play 3 at the back in some games too. Think ETH has realised how bad we are without Varane and martinez.
What, Zimbabwe Dollars??
This would be an uncharacteristically sensible signing.
Varane, Kim, Martinez and Lindelof are pretty decent. Add in Shaw who can cover also. That’s a pretty good group.
He's a fecking unit.

Chances he gets here and turns into Korean Harry Maguire
@mazhar13 we need you in here man. Any info on how reliable the source is on the previous page? Or if the article even exists?
Now that you mention it…Chances he gets here and turns into Korean Harry Maguire
Can any Italian/Neopolitan based caftards back up the veracity of those sources?
I would rather have his height is the bottom line. I think in away gamse we need a bit height/ resistance in the team to balance out the aggression the home side. Why i think a move on Gravenberch / K Thuram may be interesting with Big bro on free aswell. ( caveat being they get on , unlike most families LOL)
I've eaten Neopolitan ice cream before (that's chocolate, vanilla and strawberry all together in Jens Lehman terms) and I can indeed confirm those sources are most veracious.
Seems legit.
I think we’ll sign both with AWB and Maguire leaving.
Decent but it's round so it's quite hard to balance on.
Ill be shocked if AWB leaves, been one of our best players since the WC tbh.
Would get torn apart down the sides. And what kind of formation is this?
Never a fan of 3 at the back.
Fake news imo. Not a priority.
I hear you. Never trust a 3 letter name.
I’ve always backed AWB against the nonsense against him on here - he’s a good RB but I still think Dalot’s profile suits where ETH wants us to be going forward and that’s why he’ll keep him over AWB. ETH loves timber and if he leaves Ajax I just don’t see him not going for him.
That would do nicely. Would make us even stronger.
He would be a too smart adition to our team to be true.
Varane is injury prone, we can' rely only on Licha, we need to offload Maguire, so having one of the best CB in Europe that fits Ten Hags football would be too good.
It's sure Bayern or City or PSG will come and sign him before us.

Reminds me of Vidic but blessed with extra pace.
Varane still wouldn’t play 3 games a week and Kim is better at progressing the ball so he’d still get plenty of games. Either way ETH is constantly saying he wants two top options for every position.
How will we sign him in July though as any takeover won't have been completed by then?
He’s good on the ball but he isn’t an elite ball playing defender. He’s physical and has good pace on him. He’s had a great season and is a very good player but he’s been given the run around a couple of times by pacy players. Mauni didn’t rip him apart but he gave Kim a few problems with his pace. I only saw tidbits from the Milan 4-0 defeat but he had a bad time against Leao I believe. Physically not many will get better of him.
That being said, there isn’t a better defender out there on the market. He and Martinez will be two aggressive centre backs that’s for sure

Bayern are set at CB and PSG have just added Skrinar for zero outlay. I'd be more worried about Liverpool who are seeking to strengthen there and City who will desire an elite Laporte replacement
The Korean Richard Dunne. Which is actually a sexual position favoured by many in the border counties.
This is a done deal. Brilliant signing. Time to move to the De Jong thread now. Let’s go.
He's a no brainer but I doubt we'll make the move for him. If rumors are true his release clause if valid only for the first 15 days of the window. I don't think we'll move that fast were as slow as snails regarding negotiations.
Also I don't think he'll agree to be a rotation player, he may earn the starting place but at this moment Lisandro and Varane are nailed.

Tuchel wants to play 3 at the back. He has only De Ligt and Upa (Pavard will leave, and Hernandez is also very doubtful for them).
PSG wants to offload Ramos, so they only have Marquinhos.
Liverpool, if they don't have the CL (which I trully hope) won't have the need to compete with us, sportively or in terms of money.
City agree with you.
