What an outstanding signing. It’s been rumored for a while but it’s still hard to believe it’s actually happened. Virgil aside, there isn’t a better CB on the planet than Raphael Varane.

At the risk of getting ahead ourselves, I’d still like to put out there the possibility of Pogba’s contract holdout having something to do with us finally bringing in would class footballers.

He's one of those players i've always heard other people talk about but hadn't actually seen him play until recently. Certainly didn't do enough in those few games i did see to be classed as the second best CB in the world.

He'll be a decent enough signing don't get me wrong
 
Wait, is it actually about making the worst song? In that case:

Varane Varane Varane Varane Varane Cameleon

Anyone suggested 'Voyage Voyage' yet? It's even in French, perfectly fitting.

Au dessus des vieux volcans
Glissent des ailes sous les tapis du vent
Varane, Varane
Éternellement
De nuages en marécages
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur
Varane, Varane
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales
Des idées fatales
Regardent l'océan

Edit: apparently, the 'De vent d'Espagne en pluie' part means from the winds of Spain to the rain which is perfectly fitting. Let's ignore the 'equator' part.

Fab says Here we go after everyone has gone and got the news.
But aside from that, :drool: . Varane is a solid solid signing.

Yep! Last summer we signed back up players like VDB and Telles and they had zero impact. We all bemoaned the lack of strengthening in the first 11 but now they're really out done themselves.

Or you could say the competition for places brought the best out of Shaw and Fernandes for last season. There's a reason people say it takes a squad to win something.

Ole just doesn't use the squad enough and has never proven he knows how to successfully rotate players.

I've seen a lot of those calls on social media, do we really think Lindelof was stinking up the place that much? Or is Varane going to make that big a difference?

We should definitely be better now that much is obvious but we should probably hold off calling our defence the best this or that. Leave that for the Chelsea fans ;)
 
for all the song creators is it pronounced ver-ar-ney not ver-ann could be wrong
 
Huge signing for us if we get it over the line.

Now though we need a better goalkeeper

he'll make that big a difference. Think it's unfair to put all of the blame on Lindelöf, but adding Varane and the new set piece coach will have a huge impact.

Varane-Maguire is a world-class CB pairing and Shaw is the best LB in the league too. AWB has his deficits, but he's still solid. Hard to find a better back four.

Another step in the right direction. And other rumors sound promising as well. Looking forward to the season!
