Him and Maguire would have a combined age of 56 at the back. In Spain or France you could get away with that, no way in the PL.
Chelsea just won the Champions League with a backline pairing of the combined age of 64
 
What a back 4 we're about to have.

It surely doesn't need both Fred and McTominay scrambling round trying to protect it.

Would love us to push on for a midfielder this summer. Then we're in business.
This. So important now, we need two if Pogba leaves.
 


Loic Tanzi reiterating what Bouhafsi said earlier and also says 'all parties hope to get a deal done around €50m in the coming days'.
 
Isn't Bouhafsi very reliable on French footballing matters? When he says something it's almost always true
there is no better source in French football, and generally, I struggle to find a more reliable football journalist out there.

I'll really miss him when he transitions from football to politics (as he has announced). I really like his style - no BS, just facts and doesn't feel the need to post non-updates every few minutes.

Agreed. Just news.

Interesting that you say that:

Hang on mate, need to read more tweets from reliable french sources which I will then re-word slightly and claim as my own information.
Pretty much.
Didn't see the French reports as I was posting it, but right after this little flurry of tweets - it definitely feels this way.

The reality is that Bouhafsi is no more reliable than RMCSport, he isn't the one getting the news but RMCSport itself. He has the same news than Tanzi or any journalists working for RMCSport.

Weren't they playing with a back 3?
That's an average age of 21.33 - prime age.
Varane is 28. Before the end of next season he'll be 30 and way past it.
 


United and Madrid approach positions for Varane. The normal thing is that it closes next week for 45 to 55 million.

 




Good, save the chess match for the pitch :lol:

Everyone seems to be reporting the same figures now, thankfully nowhere near what Madrid were reportedly asking at the start
