Our fullbacks are vastly underrated on here. The difference between Smalling and Varane in regards to composure, bringing the ball out and allowing us to play a higher line is vastly more beneficial than swapping Dalot with Crystal Palaces RB. Plus the improvement that Sancho would bring to our right side would ease the burden from our RB anyway.
Agree that CB comes before RB, but I would like Meunier at RB so we don't overuse Dalot. Young just won't cut it next year.

As far as I know he doesn't have any knee problems, he had big cut on the knee but it was a hit, he had a back problem a few years ago that was allegedly causing other issues particularly muscular but it hasn't been a problem in the last 18 months. Defensively he is excellent, good positioning, anticipation and probably the best athlete among top defenders but what separates him from others is that he is very good on the ball with both feet, last week he just decided to cross with his left foot and it was probably the best cross of the game.
CB and RW are the two areas of the team that have to be addressed this summer, with the CM and RB following imo.

They are. That reporter is considered tier 1 for Madrid.
Actually I don't think our defense is tragic. Could do with a CB but tragic it is not.
I don't think we can go into next season with Young and Dalot as our RB options.
Di Maria and Ozil definitely in the overrated club. With Robben you could see the logic - he was almost always injured. Went to Bayern and they seemed to have a club doctor that was a miracle worker and the rest is history.
Thanks. Good to know that he doesn't have any injury issues that might affect him long term. I seem to remember reading something about his knees a couple of years back. May be I am mistaking him with someone else.
Strange comparisons.
Bayern ?
They've just shelled out big money on two CBs. Dont think they'll go big on yet another.Don't know, but if Tancredi is quoting it, its probably bullshit anyway. Has this guy ever got a transfer right?
You can rather spend money on De Ligt, but I'm surprised people can't just admit that Barca is a better option for him and its where he's most likely to go, no matter what sort of money we throw about to try and make the deal happen.
Would be funny if this will be Madrid's plan and Ed doesn't fall for it.Yaaaaas. Have a feeling this will kick off Pogba negotiations with them though
Oh god, could you imagine if he fell for it and then Varane signs a new deal.
I would hope that this is a parody post. There is literally not a single CB in world football who absolutely defines “worth the price” than Varane.
And it's not something new. L'Equipe announced it some days ago.
Real Madrid:"If you sell Pogba to us, we'll give you a 5% discount on players the exception of Varane" Ed Woodward looking at Bale (mouthwatering)
