Really hope you are right because has been my dream CB signing for over a decade
How does Rio have any personal connection to him? Edit: Just read the previous post quoted to you.. alright makes sense.
Nah. That revenge was cashed in on ADM.This is gonna be where Madrid get revenge for the fax machine and the ESL
If we get Varane, do we win the league?
A quality DM would smash it.
Give them 50m Euros and a portion of chips and curry.
€12m net works to around £350,000 per week (top rate tax in UK is 45%). Pretty steep. But he'd instantly be the most accomplished player in our squad. His trophy cabinet is ridiculous.
55m for a player of his caliber and profile is fair enough in a market where Ben fecking White goes for 50m
We signed Jones instead of Varane

Just a quick question on that, is that Euros or Pounds?
If we can get him and a DM in too then I think we definitely have a squad capable of putting in a title challenge at least.
No guarantees, but with Sancho and Varane we will make a big jump.
Already did the conversion. The weekly figure is in Pounds.
You're joking me?
I do wonder if the 12mm is net or not. It’s not specified in the tweet just that Madrid’s offer was significant at 7mm net. I’d be surprised if we brought him in at 350,000 a week.
It wasn't a case where we chose Jones over him. We signed Jones first and still wanted him. We thought we had him but Real swooped in and got him. That we signed Jones in the same summer might have influenced his decision to join Real for more game time though
We didn't. We wanted both of them but Varane had some concerns whether he will get enough chance as we still had Rio and Vidic playing for us and he choose Madrid over us. This myth needs to die.
100% this. His link up play & workrate is so underrated. Everyone thinks he's a sulk because he's not extroverted.
His work rate is underrated? His work rate is appalling.
Concerned about his wages though. If we are the only one competing then we will play the waiting game. Think it will be done for the amount we are asking.
Can't even count how many times I've had to post this recently.
It’s really not. His work rate is decent. It’s a complete myth based on his body language.
I don’t know any other suitor that is in for him though? PSG were but now they’ve signed Ramos, I doubt they are in for another CB and there pursuit of him has understandably gone dead. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else in for him, well not that I know of? Just us and Madrid trying to keep him but he’s rejected their contract on a pay cut which isn’t a surprise considering Madrid are pretty skint and trying to save as many cents as they can for Mbappe’s forthcoming monstrous contract next summer.
Again, if the club don’t feel as if he wants to come then I’m sure they would walk away from the deal, similar to the Dybala-Lukaku swap deal when Dybala made it clear he didn’t want to join us and wanted to remain at Juventus.
Negotiations are always going to take some time, but I think if there is a chance we can get him then go for it. Yeah, I agree that if it ends up dragging and dragging for weeks then it’s best to move on unless the player himself pushes for the move and judging by what we’ve heard so far, he isn’t keen to remain at Madrid and is open to coming which is the main thing.
Woody's had a, well, a woody for Varane ever since Woody was introduced to soccerball by the Glazers. He'll see this as his legacy and will throw money at it.
Oh right.
I guess the fact he’s an introvert and looks a bit sulky at times also skews his stats, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually low energy and low work rate. He work harder than the rest when he is standing still or when he’s walking to make up for it I guess?
Nah. Leave it at 45m and some bonuses. There is no one else in the race.
I think a DM who can reliably progress the ball through the lines is essential for any title push, but I think irrespective you'll see a much improved Utd from last season with Varane and Sancho.
My guess would be a solid 80+ points and a comfortable 3rd/borderline 2nd. Add a DM and I think it would be 85+ points and a proper challenge with City and Chelsea (Liverpool is the one I'm not sure on - their squad is ageing and there isn't the market for them to sell one of their big hitters and reinvest)
This isn't news. Its olds
Which DM would you like
Actually, for 5 more points, we probably need our keepers not feckind up and keep Pogba away from penalty area. That might do.
5 years on a very high salary is always a risk. He’s a top defender but how will he cope in the PL? Hopefully we’ll but can’t say he’s been very good in the last matches against PL teams. Is that coincidence or is there a risk he won’t make it in the PL? If so 5 years with high salary is a big risk.
Edit: wrong clip
Edit: wrong clip
He has multiple CLs, league titles and a world cup to his name. He is in his prime and is coming from a top club. If you consider that we are reportedly paying Sancho 250k, 350 for Varane is not outrageous. Alaba is on 400k+.
