Varane and Maguire :drool: :drool:

Yet again I’m shocked at Lindelofs figures
 
There’s absolutely no doubt about it — he’ll make us a better team.
 

Tier 1 journalist for Madrid
Says Utd, Varane and Madrid are all negotiating
Madrid have been made aware of discussions between Varane's camp and Utd personal terms not an issue
Chances of Varane renewing with Madrid are decreasing with each day and while it's not ruled out he stays it's very unlikely
Madrid prefer to sell over letting him go for free
Madrid want €70m Euros(a fee they know we won't pay) we have offered €40m and variables
 
After how we did with the Sancho deal this summer, I'd actually fancy our chances of bullying Real into getting him for a price closer to what we want. What a weird world.
 
Oh Perez, please make it easy for us. He’s on one year left in his contract!!
 
They can offer PSG their whole team -- they're not going to sell him. Their owner would rather let him walk on a free than concede selling their crown jewel.
 
‍Phew, It’s Duncan Castles. I thought I was reading Ornstein or Fabrizio.
 

The locatelli story is a beauty. Offered to Barcelona (laporta specifically) at the start of last season by the chief scout. Laporta said he's not a big enough name for Barcelona and the lad has a cracking season and his price has sky rocketed. Barcelona are still a mess.
 
Same content as every tweet for about 2 weeks now, he wants to leave Madrid, he wants to join Man Utd, someone is really pushing his narrative, so why is it that I still don't buy it :(
 
If you go over back over my posts you’ll read that I think he’s slightly over rated but I want him here. I can’t look at another season of Lindelof.

Madrid spent £140 million on Hazard and he’s been injured most of the time , Varane has no previous history of been injury prone . Bale fell out of favour with Zidane because he refused to leave .Varane is 28 and hitting his peak .
If you look back at my posts in this thread you'd see I rate him, he's a quality player for sure. But is Veron a quality player? Sanchez before moving to us? Hazard not only been injured but it does seem he has lost his motivation as well.

Many examples of high profiled players flop terribly after moving to another team with a last big fat contract, especially after they had won everything. Even if they don't flop most of the cases they could not live up to the expectations. So far only Ronaldo is the exception I think, but he's Ronaldo.

Players are human. Even in the same league you can't be sure a quality player would shine after moving to another club let alone new league, new city, new culture, new environment.

I do hope we sign Varane, I've had enough of Lindelof too. He'll help us to give a shot for the title this season if he can give us what he did for Madrid. But I do worry over his reported wages. Around £300k would be much better I think. In case things go wrong we'd still manage to move him on instead of being stuck with another super high paid deadwood.

Same as when before Sancho joined United. Eventually it’ll happen, we just have to patient and at least we have confirmation that both clubs are negotiating and Varane wants to join

How was he offered to Laporta at the start of the season when Laporta only became President this year, 2021?
 
This is a great opportunity for a swap. One Frenchman for another - both similar age.

Let’s do it.!

Varane and Maguire :drool: :drool:

All figures seem very inaccurate compared to the official stats. Is there a source? Maguire wins 99% of all set piece aerials?
Or is it percentile based on %?
Varane is 45% on aerials won. That means 65% of all CBs in Europe win more aerials than him and 44% less.
 
Hey, another Jamhead here. Welcome
I’ll use my last remaining post to say cheers :D follow them everywhere and have 7 euro shows lined up for next summer ( 3rd time lucky with 2 Covid postponements last 2 summers ) apologies for going off topic

It's one of those nonsensical stories. Basically in March the scouts allegedly proposed him Locatelli and he said that he couldn't do it, that it needed to be a much bigger name, the journalist speculates that Barcelona would have had him at a much cheaper fee than today. The issue with that type of nonsense is that it pretends that Locatelli was somehow only known and followed by Barcelona in March 2021 and that's after suggesting that Juventus the club that is in the same league is also interested.
 
If it’s Gross wages:
€12m = £10.3m.
£10.3 + 45% tax = £15m est.
52 weeks in a year
15,000,000/52 = £288,000
Tax is taken out of gross. Not tax added to net.
The £350,000 I quoted will be his gross wages, not net. Your figures are still off.
 
Honestly, it’s mad how a player so frail aerially is such an important player for us.
He’s only important by the fact he can stay fir and our squad is poor from a cb point of view so his place is guaranteed. Thankfully Ole seems to have caught on
 
Whenever Laporta took control
