Tbf When Varane first signed he was behind Pepe and Ramos, he was mostly a rotational player until Pepe left.
Fair enough. It was statistically established last season that City CBs had to perform very few defensive actions when compared to United.
I think it has more to do with the appointment of the Director of Football. Why would an owner not want to invest?
Hear, Hear!
Shaw?
Super signing, strengthen our CB partnership is a key, Dias & Stones formed a very solid defensive partnership that was key for their domestic & continental success, we need a solid CP partnership at CP, Varane can be that with Maguire.
Was Shaw really ”injury prone”? The guy got his leg literally snapped in half and that unsurprisingly took a long time to get back to full strength with plenty of niggles along the way as you’d expect.
The key will be his partnership with Maguire. On paper they should compliment each other well so fingers crossed that's our cb issue sorted for the next few years. Lindelof and Bailly/Axel are decent backups as well.
Isn't Baillys knee healed up just fine? Nothing substantial since end of 2019, is it?
Not a single fan is against this signing. What a coup.
Yes - only league matches.
Amazing signing for us a real coup can't wait to see the partnership between Maguire and Varane. Since Rio and Nemanja we will have a proper defense. Now all we need is a CDM and we can challenge for the title!
We missed out on Ben White
.We were taking the piss mate, it’s become something of a meme on here.
Real Madrid version of Simon stone confirming the Varane deal.
I don't buy it. We signed 2 kids on the cheap. That could've happened anyway.
But yes, from a future transfer perspective maybe it is good that clubs don't have us over a barrel. But the fact that we miss the deadline for Sancho and failed to negotiate the price down shows more ineptitude last year. He could've been the difference last season.
Anyway let's stop taking the thread off Varane. Hopefully the perfect partner for Maguire...
Really does seem like a historic signing. Two more please.
We missed out on Ben White
In fairness - I think Ben White is going to be a really good defender. He is quick, athletic, good tackler and has a superb long-ball. He could easily be one of Arsenals best deals in the last 5-6 seasons
Finally! On paper at least a vast upgrade on tosh like Lindelof and Bailly.
I just hope he's still good and is up for this new challenge.

Its very easy to see how many minutes they played in comparison to the minutes Sancho would've played. Poor comparison.
Also, hadn't we already signed VDB before trying to get Sancho, so you can take him off the list, not signing Sancho he had zero impact on us getting VDB.
As they say in America, Varane is more a 'win now' signing (and a terrific one at that). White is going to be quality in time - interesting that Brighton inserted a sell on clause, they clearly think he'll move on to bigger things than the Gunners.
Wtf are they saying. Any translators?
World class defender in best football years for decent price. What is there to not like?
I expected some "he is in decline" comments though.
"Done dealio"
That is a salary cap impacting Barca. Not billions being wasted on Glazer debt with zero benefit to the club.
United spending 150m would not inflate the squad as we would get rid of the lower quality players.
Not a comparison.
Who did we spend the Sancho money on last summer? Amad and Pellistri?
In terms of budget. We barely spent last summer and the £73m or whatever for Sancho we've just paid was last in last summers budget.
It is tough to score when Ramos is on every ball
Best I've seen is that he's confirming the defence for the upcoming season. He lists Ramos went to PSG, Varane has gone to MUFC and then he lists the defensive line up for the next season and the vallejo can leave in August.
Then the over the top reaction starts
You think it was good negotiation last Summer do you?This. Also United had been criticized for their lack of negotiating skills and end up paying exorbitant fee for players in recent times. And now they're being criticized for standing their ground and not paying too much for a player
Wow. You must have a short memory.
Waiting on Rio comments about this. He loves Varane
UnReal this actually!
Fecking Varane. In his prime.
Our back 4 is now looking as good as ever.

Both could turn out to be super signings in the next year or twoWho did we spend the Sancho money on last summer? Amad and Pellistri?
He might get ahead of Arsenal's previous best deal, the Domino's 2 for 1 pizza they had.
His efforts to get a better deal with Real Madrid have been tarnished by Moonchester
Oh I do agree, but I doubt we used the Sancho budget on them.
They seem like losing their shit. I was worried that Perez might call off the deal looking at the drama
Now that we have basically signed Varane. How good would it be if Pogba was to leave and we went on to win the league and UCL. If he thinks he can do better than United let him go!
The OTT thing is I want to know more aboutBest I've seen is that he's confirming the defence for the upcoming season. He lists Ramos went to PSG, Varane has gone to MUFC and then he lists the defensive line up for the next season and the vallejo can leave in August.
