Beginning to think this might happen.
Winning before the season even started
If we get him for 35 million thats incredible value for money.
28 is not old for a CB either

You got Judged
You have to be careful with using non-native speakers to judge that fee. DiMarzio and Romano are weird with how they do that. Think it means including add-ons not 50m as base.
I just hope he doesn't get too old for this shit.
Maybe read this article...
"Murtough (...) does not oversee the club's recruitment, with the director of football negotiations Matt Judge still the point of contact to discuss a prospective target's terms.
The recruitment process is still largely overseen by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the technical chief scout Mick Court, as well as his team in the recruitment department."

Actually started earlier but couldn’t find any flights between Madrid and Manchester. But tomorrow is another day.
Sounds to me like Judge has a real football person providing guidance and leadership and not an investment banker.
Hats off to him as that’s an incredible deal that he’s pulled off in these negotiations.
Compared to our window when we last finished 2nd 
And we’re not done yet.

It's fair to keep in mind that in 2018 our actual spendings were relatively high due to owned cash from previous transfers. While I can understand fans being naively upset, I don't understand how a manager who was most likely aware could be as petulant.
Only first place is good enough now.
Sancho and varane are massive statements of intent.
Roll on the start of the season.

Incredible deal. I thought £40M plus add-ons was a good deal but I didn’t expect to see it being this low.
Well played Matt Judge which something I’ve not said before!
Would think he would be flying as early as tonight or tomorrow especially if he has to quarantine as reported
This is boring.... who's next??
"Why are you negotiating for 10m, the club makes 60 times that!"
I've read that article from Luckhurst and it contradicts what Ornstein and Whitwell reported.
Looks like we got Varane for what we saved on holding back from signing Sancho last year. Cheers Dortmund.
And we’re only paying £15m per year for Sancho. Some great business this summer.
I thought most of Sancho’s fees was upfront?
No, paid in five installments over four years.
Breaking on SSN, fee agreed
I've asked this before but never got an answer: Would Varane likely be LCB or RCB in a partnership with Maguire?
I would really like to see Maguire play as RCB, I think it would elevate his play at bringing the ball out of defence to another level...

I read it was £75m, £15m per year over the five years of his contract. Could be wrong though.
Here we go boys.
Varane plays on the right side
Only United could've been so shite for years yet still be a dream for top quality players. That said money talks...money talks.
This is great news.
I think.
I think.
£34 million going up to 50 with add-ons. What a deal. Well done to whoever negotiated this.
Maguire will be LCB. He’s excellent at it and has a good relationship with Shaw.
I’m looking forward to seeing AWB with Varane on his left and Sancho ahead of him.
Up to 50m euros, though.
