Maybe it's a riddle?
Progress... swap "Real Madrid" with "Manchester United"and then "Varane" with "Manchester United"...

I know what it actually meant, I just wanted to believe that someone in the FF finally lost their mind beyond comprehension. There's still time.Progress... swap "Real Madrid" with "Manchester United"and then "Varane" with "Manchester United"...

Is “getting used for a bumper contract” The Varane thread version of “Big Day Today”? I’m just trying to gage what level of unzip I should be at.
I don’t think so this time, I think it’s for real! RM are in huge debt, worse than ourselves. They really need the ££££This smacks of Varane using Utd's name to get a new contract from Real to be honest.
Every time Ramos wanted a new deal the Utd rumours would come out.
If it was a Spanish player i'd understand the paranoia. But Varane is of West Indian heritage, and it's reported he wants out for a while now, to experience something new. He doesn't have the same affinity to Madrid like Ramos imo.
A player at Real Madrid and wanting to try something new is unusual though isn't it? Especially a first choice, in the team every week at their absolute prime player. Historically they just don't tend to want to leave Real Madrid but maybe times are changing, Ronaldo left them after all when he clearly still had years left in the tank
When is this fecker back from vacation
The football landscape is changing and the EPL has never been more attractive.A player at Real Madrid and wanting to try something new is unusual though isn't it?

Comes off the heels of the news of Mbappe reportedly telling PSG he wants to go to Madrid this summer.
Surely they'll need to raise funds expeditiously along with freeing up wage space...
Key word here is the 'rumors'Historically those players were probably happy in the knowledge that money would be spent and they would buy their way to further success. That's definitely no longer the case. Plus the rumours that he's being offered a pay cut to stay their on a new contract changes things.
Mbappe > Madrid
Varane > United
Pogba > PSG
Could happen
I understand that he ain't wanna discuss football after a busy month.more what what fking remote island is he on where they don't have fking phones
From what you're saying, it sounds like you simply dont rate Varane highly, which is faur enough i guess. I would personally argue that Varane is better than all four of Chelsea's CB's you mentioned.I think that there have been a number of centre backs that justify significant salaries and star status (peak Ramos, Ferdinand, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk etc.), but I haven't seen Varane perform at that standard. The salary being suggested is very substantial, and for defence in general I think it's important that the 'unit' is more collective than individual.
I quite like Chelsea's options at the back at the moment, for instance. They have four defenders (Christensen, Zouma, Rudiger, Silva) who are realistically starters and they've just won a major competition on this foundation.
Yea Thiago Silva has never been better than himFrom what you're saying, it sounds like you simply dont rate Varane highly, which is faur enough i guess. I would personally argue that Varane is better than all four of Chelsea's CB's you mentioned.
It's been about money from the start.
What if...Varane and Sancho in, Pogba out. That's our summer. Would we be happy with that?
There’s always hope, but then again, I was once promoted…Newbie means he hasn't been promoted doesn't it? So there's still hope?
A big part of Varane coming here would be Pogba imo. Makes it more likely he stays than anything else.

They’ll be pretty good friends I’d imagine. There will be appeal to both of them to team up together at club level.His factor is new challenge and that is not to play with Pogba but to play in PL it seems. Come on, what kind of challenge to play with Pogba especially if you are a centre back.

First time in my life hearing Varane being a 'pace player'
His positioning and decision making have always been his main strength, never his speed or physical attributes even though he's not slow at all
You think he's ready for the prem? That'd be my main concern, but he does seem to be a talent. Can't claim to have watched him play much. Agree that we need more than just two though, especially if Pogba goes.Add Camavinga. I’m happy. You can’t sell Pogba without signing one midfielder.
Romano says terms won't be a problem, just about agreeing to a fee with Madrid
