Last season he cost £600 000 per 90 minutes game time. I can see why they want to decrease his salary.
Be a huge mistake to renew his contract, should be sold whilst he still has value and someone will pay all his wages. On his day, fully fit he’s still top class but that doesn’t happen very often.
There is talk of renewing his contract? Really?
Poor quality CB. Liverpool was a one off as expected
Come on now... Varane isnt a poor CB. There are issues with having him as a player but poor quality isnt one of those issues.
While I do think a lot of people overrate his performances for us, I'd say you're going too far the other way. He was good for most of last season, and he started this season well too. Then his performances dropped off before we had the strange period where he was barely playing, and since coming back he's had some good and some bad matches.Rough on the ball and backs off too much. He didnt do that for one game against Liverpool and was our best player, but 99% of games for us hes exactly like he was against Forest. Another Lindelof but worse on the ball
How are we actually just going to lose him on a free? Another example of horrible management to get to this point where his contract is out in 6 months instead of selling him in the summer when Saudi was throwing money at everyone. Better to take what we can get in January IMO.
The briefing just came out above that we aren't extending his contract, meaning he is free to leave in the summer and can start talking to teams tomorrow.We aren't? I'm pretty sure he's on a 3+1 year contract?
If we are going to keep a CB from the current lot, surely it should be him over Lindelof. I get his wages are insanely stupid, but surely there's no comparison in terms of quality between him and Lindelof.
