They play a more defensive setup than us, but in the end I wouldn’t say their CBs are better than ours.
We signed Tom Heaton on a free and with Grant looking likely to extend and Bishop in the wings I think we will be good for GK cover even if one of Ole's two number ones leaves.
Surely Heaton is Grant's replacement as back-up linesman? I don't think I'd be happy with any of those you've mentioned being number 2 keeper.
Yeah definitely in the seems too good to be true category although wonder if it's his demands or actually Madrid's that are the problem IF he actually did want to leave which I still highly doubt especially now Ramos is going
Grant is staying so not really. I think Heaton is a servicable number 2.
But if Ramos staying was a pre requisite for letting Varane go, they would have surely made better efforts to keep him. The fact that they didn't, and brought Alaba in, makes me think they'd be open to sell Varane.

They can have Ramos and we’ll take Varane
Ramos & Varane to Militão & Alaba in one window.
That is....not an upgrade.
Time for Darren Fletcher to pull a few rabbits out of his hat.
I read City are sniffing around Ramos, we know Laporte wants to go back to Spain as well, two left footers but I wonder if Real could line up with Laporte and Alaba as their CB's next season?...
We're clearly after both though. To be fair Varane is probably a more pressing concern due right now due to there actually being competition for his signature, whereas the Sancho deal is just a matter of time.

I know the Sancho deal looks like it is matter of time and will probably be confirmed after England’s exit in the Euros. Personally I thought the Varane one would only happen if we shipped out a few players first on high wages like Lingard, De Gea etc.

Yep. Literally years of shite. So many agendas, so much tv and media to fill with pure nonsense.
This one goes against what the Spanish tweets insinuate.
I think PSG are ok for CB's tbh, Kimpembe is decent and Marquinho's is arguably the best in the world at the moment. Doesn't make sense to me them spending big for Varane. Ramos on a free is another matter thoughThis one goes against what the Spanish tweets insinuate.
In any case PSG have Kimpembe, Marquinos, Keher and Diallo. I think that's only 2 sound choices, of which 1 if I'm not mistaken likes to have some games in midfield. They certainly need a top level centre back so I can see them going for one. The way they can operate I wouldn't be surprised if they just snapped both either
Much as there is something I have always liked about Ramos even before the Salah stuff Varane has always been the guy I have wanted us to sign for the last ten years and just don't see Real letting both of them leave, interesting that Ducker who is pretty well connected is reporting something tonight along those lines.This one goes against what the Spanish tweets insinuate.

that's putting it mildly
Add a midfielder and it might get upgraded to very goodthat's putting it mildly
We’d still be giving the ball away constantly all game with that midfield. Our priority this Summer should be a ball-playing midfielder.
Yeah would take a £30-£35m DM with those two but who that is not a clue
What about a DM who is strong on the ball or are you very much in the tempo controlling CM camp instead
Would be happy with locatelli
