This place is really odd at times
What?
They have been doing that non-stop for the last couple of days now and basically only bringing on callers who would shit on Ole. Actually, Sol Campbell was the one who talked most sense when he was on.
Yeah the reason is he ran his contract down and Madrid have no choice but to sell.
Would he not have been Charlton? Blackheath Bluecoats was only around a mile from Charlton
Where's this 380k p/w talk coming in from? All reports were that he was on similar wages as Maguire (so ~200k p/w or 10.5M / yr). I assume we've thrown him a nice sign on bonus but that's basically it.
10.5M / yr * 5 + 10M sign-on / agent fees + 40M transfer =~ 102.5M over 5 years.
Where as for White:
6M / yr (~120k p/w) * 5 + ?? sign-on / agent + 50M transfer =~ 80-85M over 5 years.

The talk is coming from jealous feckwits who support other clubs.
I take it you're all joking about the shirt sales.
Seeing as the club only receives around 8% of the profits on shirt sales.

For someone who hasn't watched him a lot, is he a bit like Rio? I'm excited to see a fast ball playing centre back next to Maguire.
We don’t joke about such things in these parts.
This smacks of Varane using Utd's name to get a new contract from Real to be honest. Every time Ramos wanted a new deal the Utd rumours would come out.
Same, I think he will change his mind in the medical room at Bridgwater Hospital personally.
What a signing!!
I think we're a little past rumours to be honest.
Yes. Most similar player to Rio out there.
Never thought this would happen. Don’t really care what salty pundits think as long as come seasons end they’re having to swallow their tears and admit he was a great signing.
Please be as great a signing as we all hope, Raphael.

Red flags!!
We can just pay his wages in shirts.
I see Varane is playing the ultra long game to get that new deal at Real. He’s going to go as far as joining us on a long term contract. It’s the ultimate game of chicken. Got to admire the brinksmanship.
Maybe sell for approx £34m?
Agent Raphael will take it one step further. Just when he has the world's press to witness his signing; he will drop the pen and walk away, yelling, No Manchester! Yes, Grimsby!
Hell leave for Madrid in a few years
Any chance someone could post up that version of I Ran adapted for him again
Genuinely is really nice to see transfer fees calming down a bit. £34m is a huge amount of money but it just goes to show how ridiculous football was becoming that Neymar cost £200m.
I always wanted Varane when he was coming through, let’s hope he’s got a good 5 years in him still at the elite level.
Welcome to Manchester Mr. Varane
So happy the BBC were able to confirm this as there were so many rumours going around from B-tier journos such as Fabrizio.
Finally, we have our own in house Raiola.
What a fecking signing
I've spoken to someone from the Jamaican delegation this evening and am reliably informed that Varane was observed dicking around with the fax machine at Reals office today.
England's full moon was supposedly 24th July, but delayed due to United muppets.
Look up now all, its a full bloody moon

Has anyone posted the "Welcome to Manchester United" obligatory YouTube video yet?
I don't think Pogba has ever had any problem with anyone on the team since his signing, except the "pointy" one.
We have brought sancho and varane for almost the same amount we would have had to pay just for sancho last summer.
I'm 99 percent sure he thinks he's signing for City.
I am listening to these guys. They are so biased against Ole they will not even let the contributors make their points. Varane is an excellent signing and these guys are trying to be controversial for the sake of being controversial.

miss the good old days of bidding 27mill in total for Baines and Fellaini, only to then sign Fellaini on his own for the full 27mill…
the Woodward days were so much fun
