Both Maguire and Varane have played most of their careers on the left, haven't they?

Come on man, what kind of muppet are you if you haven’t been daily binging Varane youtube comps?

I think it was a WUM on reflection akin to the Sancho playing on the left debate

 

[Adam-Utd]

Feels mad to see this thread

Sancho and Varane, sheesh!

Fugazi performance thread, delete

 

[Denis79]

Finally we have a fantastic CB pairing again, it has been too long.

 

[Yagami]

A performance thread by someone other than @MyOnlySolskjaer is like someone other than Dorothy speaking sarcastically in The Golden Girls. It happens, and can be good, but it doesn't hit like the original.

 

[gorky_utd]

This just dont feel real .

Grow a pair of centre-backs

I know every time I see this thread title I smile. What a signing

 

[VP89]

Seriously though, I'm wary of having too high an expectation from him because it's a different league and we never know how players may adapt. I have little doubt he's going to be a hit, but we need to be prepared for mistakes too. Else we will have more polarized opinions

I'm just curious that the only performance thread not started by him (before this one) is the Ole performance thread. Hmmmm...
