Man Utd Thread:

Varane a done deal. Decent window so far. Hopefully another one or two.

Must have been the longest courtship in years; connected with him since before he joined Real.

[rodney trotter]

United closing in on another defender also, Jules Kounde of Sevilla. He can play centre back or right back.

[In hiding]

Varane  was really poor against City in the CL, a bit too nice, they need a Stam or Vidic type player to attack the ball.

Maguire is the man to attack the ball, Varane is the intelligent covering defender.
Same at Real with Ramos

Would love to sign a defensive midfielder now like Kante who would allow Pogba to play like he can for France. Varane seems more or less done. Should be going to Dortmund and throwing whatever they want at them for Haaland either this summer or next.

Id love Pogba to be playing in France.....

Surely that is going to spell the end then for either Baily or Lindelof, unless he is going to change tactics.

Two international defenders hardly going to sit around for league cup games.

Lindelof as cover. Bailey on the 1st boat home. Complete balloon.

Not too often a player walks away from Madrid unless they are getting pushed out the door. 

Both players have had more than enough opportunities to solidify their position in the team, in the brutal world of football they are just not good enough.

Did I read somewhere that Varane is doubling his current wage, so not hard to see why he would want the move.

As well as this RM need to sell to gather up some money, they are in the same sort of shape as Barca financially.

Lindeldof gets pushed around like a child's toy too often though. Bailly a lot more physical.

Steven Nzonzi would be perfect, 32yo WC winner, last shot at an A list club, wouldn't cost the world and could probably get on a 1-2 year contract as he'd know its last chance at the top level, not that he'll be anywhere near in the frame, but as an instant cost effective experienced upgrade on Fred he'd be ideal, basically Matic but not shot to bits and a better player, also has played in the league and with Pogber so no adjustment required in that regard, would already know he'll be covering the lazy sods running. How Nzonzi went from Blackburn to Stoke and didn't get picked up by a top 6 club was a head scratcher, was the potential Robertson/Wijnaldum value signing of his spell in the Premiership and got massively overlooked

And a lot more injury prone.

I dont think there are nearly as bad as Barca but neither of them looking to clever at the minute

Yeah Barca a lot worse off. RM are balancing the books just but Barca are a basket case.

Twitter saying he is going to Chelsea
