I’m really excited for this signing. I’m hoping with his speed we can prevent some of those counter
Attacking goals with concede. Varane is also pretty strong in the air which is required in the PL. I think he will have a huge impact for us next year. I want to see more driving runs from Harry knowing he has cover with pace.
Your mates may be too well connected for transfer news. The manager usually isn't going to be the leaker, even to friends (your mates, Beckham, etc.). Even if your mates have other friends at the club, if those people know your mates are close to SAF, they may not tell them much for fear that they'll get busted.
I tend to think that Journos will often target secretaries, assistants, and mid-level people in the club as sources. People that hear a lot around the office. Some of these sources will have more real info than others, and some will probably make things up just to get the attention from the reporters and watch people react to the rumor that they started. Obviously, some journos just make stuff up themselves, but I think the Tier 1 guys have real sources at the clubs, which probably give a mix of "approved" leaks and unapproved inside info.
Has anybody suggested Varane as DM yet?

Did we? Not sure, looked fine in the Europa League for example.
All these tweets are saying the same thing but using different words.

This'll be milked as usual, but everyone should be quite confident it's going to happen. We're not going to miss out on him over a few million.
Anyone know where Varane is on holiday?
It's surely about time to start thinking about tracking flights?

These tweets are taking me through several time loops...
Contract agreed/Transfer fee agreed
Contract agreed/Transfer fee not agreed

Where do we stand?? I seem to be moving back and forth through these 4 stages several times a day

You are a top class troll.
I think this is a done deal. We arent backing out now.
Let's say we pull out because 50m is too high, who else is there we can sign who is as good as him for less than 50m.

He’s really not, pretty sure he was the same guy who pretended we weren’t signing Pogba when he was literally in Manchester sighing for us. He’s just really boring.
Starting to believe this will actually happen... would be huge as a signing. But still feel a DM would have a bigger impact but there is no perfect candidate like Sancho on our RW or Varane for CB.
Excellent work. He went for 3 weeks so you'd expect him to be looking for a flight to Manchester on Wednesday or Thursday.
No direct flights so any private charter should be easy to spot.
Do these guys talk over informal dinners or something? Or do they communicate using rocks and twigs? How do these talks always last so many days?
Sancho deal was announcement was on page 259 and the thread lock at 260. They are clearly waiting for us muppet to surpass that for Varane agreement
Real Madrid don't trust modern technology after the fax machine fiasco and then some fecker got Perez on a dictaphone.
Nowadays they shave the head of a servant, tattoo the message on, wait for the hair to grow back and then send him to England with their negotiations.

L'Equipe report that Madrid were initially asking for 80m
So he's ready to accept Utd terms which was reported as already accepted last night, now its we're ready to bid for him which again was reportedly already accepted last night.
Seems one jumps the gun then it gives them all something to discuss the day after and then its finally reported it was just fake news and nothing has been agreed yet.
Repeat daily.

That’s what I mean, he’s relentless
Well, those feckers wanted around €80m for bloody Morata so no surprise there.
I am glad how the Euros have elevated Maguire and Shaw.
Both are top players and finally the fans and the media are acknowledging them.
I think that support will help elevate their game to the next levels.
Those graphs are very good for Pau Torres.Random graphics (from various points over the last couple of years) to back up the point that Varane is good in the air:
If I'm curious about anything it's exactly how excellent he is on the ball:
I am surprised those links have died out and everyone is chasing Kounde who looks the worst player both on stats and the eye test.
One thing those stats don’t show are the big match temperament. Varane is one of the most decorated CBs of all time with 4 CLs and a WC
Anybody who thought Madrid would happily accept 50 mill Euros are mad. Will be closer to 60m for sure
They’ll accept whatever they get because it’s better than 0 next year. They need money.
So was Custis actually spot on then?
Never doubted him.
Unzipping. Here we go soon!
About? Best local fast food chain?
Yeah, i remembered while writing who have we ever bought from Real.
Don't worry too much. Cavani came here because no other big club were in for him. Although I accept that for every Cavani there is another Falcao
Only when Romano reads it from a reputable journalist and then he will get the tap in all sorted.
