Dream signing at center back. Won everything at Madrid, a new challenge is in order.
Yeah desperate for that to be his thinking and not just using us for a contract renewalDream signing at center back. Won everything at Madrid, a new challenge is in order.
It will depend on the Ramos renewal. If they renew him, then Varane will be on the market. They need the cash to be able to buy some forwards and maybe a midfielder.Yeah desperate for that to be his thinking and not just using us for a contract renewal
Yeah think you are spot on thereIt will depend on the Ramos renewal. If they renew him, then Varane will be on the market. They need the cash to be able to buy some forwards and maybe a midfielder.
Best thing to do is just give him a deadline to give us a decision and then move on to the other two, massive fan of the guy but we have lots to do this summer and haven't got time to wait around for playersNot happening. Likely outcome, he stays at Madrid ,we have seen this before.
Other outcome, part of a deal for Mbappe from PSG.

In that case we better sign Ronaldo just to balance out the gurning face of Phil Jones.Anything to make the team better looking.
Then they bring in his former manager AllegriIf zidane leaves madrid as is rumoured then pogba has no chance of going to madrid. Zidane is the ome who wants him not perez.
Good point, though isn't Raul more of the favourite? Apparently he has been ruthless i.e. strict disciplinarian with the youth sides. Be interesting to see how that works with the senior squad.Then they bring in his former manager Allegri
Not sure if Raul is the favorite but it's between the two of them. If Zidane also leaves Madrid he could also go to Juve who already want Pogba. Can see Pogba suddenly dreaming of playing for Juventus if they make top 4 and Zidane goes thereGood point, though isn't Raul more of the favourite?

Statistically, Varane and Lindelof are very similar. You don’t see it in the stats presented in the link, but that was also a bit strange stats to use for comparing players. On the pitch, they are not too different either when it comes to how they play. As I think Lindelof makes a good partner for Maguire, I believe Varane would as well. Question is if he could replace Maguire if he’s injured?Can't find that CB thread again but this is a stat comparison of Varane and other CB targets

Nice. Hes achieved everything and especially now that Zidane looks to be leaving and Madrid trying to rebuild I can see why he wants to go. Though it would always look suspicious when a top player in Madrid or Barcelona wants to leave for a 'new challenge'Tweet

Nice, these kind of signings work well when the player genuinely wants a change and is driving the move.Tweet

Arguably - that said although there are players with a lot of potential and even ones who might arguably be a better partner with maguire I cant think of many who are going to bring with them the level of experience and particularly that experience of winning that Varane bringsDon't want him to be honest. There are better, younger CBs out there.
Agree with this.Don't want him to be honest. There are better, younger CBs out there.
A midfielder that gives the option of playing 433 would also be nice.Varane and Sancho could make us genuine title contenders
You rate Varane much more highly than me.Arguably - that said although there are players with a lot of potential and even ones who might arguably be a better partner with maguire I cant think of many who are going to bring with them the level of experience and particularly that experience of winning that Varane brings
3 la liga, 4 champions league, world cup, 450 top flight appearences, more than 8o of those in the champions league and still only 28
To be honest Id rather have him over maguire - just not sure that him and maguire would be an ideal partnership.
Wouldnt be unhappy of we got him but I wouldnt mind a konate or torres
Less than 50 odd million pound to be fair. Im sure it can be negotiated down a bit more.60m? feck off. Bring Kounde instead
Guess it depends on what Ole wants. Since Fernandes arrived he doesn't ever look to play a 4-3-3, so I assume he would prefer to stay 4-2-3-1.A midfielder that gives the option of playing 433 would also be nice.
Kounde has a very good leap. I think he has one of the best arial duel stats in La Liga? There were a few top center backs at that height who didn't have a problem. Varane strikes me as a bit passive too, which has grown into his game of late.Less than 50 odd million pound to be fair. Im sure it can be negotiated down a bit more.
Not sure 5'10 Kounde suits our needs
Add Kane and a CDM, and we have the titleVarane and Sancho could make us genuine title contenders
Chuck Pogba in, get them to give us £10m on top and its a deal.Less than 50 odd million pound to be fair. Im sure it can be negotiated down a bit more.

If Varane works out, they should (on paper) form a fantastic partnership.Arguably - that said although there are players with a lot of potential and even ones who might arguably be a better partner with maguire I cant think of many who are going to bring with them the level of experience and particularly that experience of winning that Varane brings

I think varane has done press conferences in English before... and some of our english players seem to struggle with that.If Varane works out, they should (on paper) form a fantastic partnership.
Interesting though, if rumours (Castles) are to be believed, Maguire wants an English speaking partner. If we dump Lindelof for Varane, we go from 90 % fluent in English to what, 10 %? Harry would be thrilled
Add Neves and would be a fantastic window. Varane is easily the best CB available on the market for price and quality.Varane and Sancho could make us genuine title contenders
I searched youtube last week, found nothing. But it would be weird if he doesn't speak English at all, I'll give you that. How would he communicate with Bale?I think varane has done press conferences in English before...
