Yeah he's mint, there's no denying it, he's won it all so I don't think he'd have any issues adapting to the PL. I do think the question about his desire is good, winning everything at such a young age might make him less motivated.
Isn't the reason he is leaving because he wants a new challenge? Seems a good mentality to me. I haven't seen much of him play though so don't know how good he is or if he would be as good in the PL.
 
How is the fact that Varane has won everything is being used against him? Imagine have a 3XCL and a WC winner in his mid 20's in your squad. At his physical prime and as experienced as its gets. If Varane is available its a no brainer. Fast, agile, good with the ball at his feet he's got it all.
It probably would be good, but we have been down this type of road before, so most of us as dubious. We are too used to being used and abused.

Yeah that is true. There dont seem to be a solid reason for him to leave especially with Zidane incharge.
 
I still think it's a contract extension ploy. Zidane the french icon and legend is also now his manager. Should be sorted out by next week the extension
Why would he want to leave? Just for more money elsewhere, or have things soured for him at Real?
It could be a question of money but with a contract until 2022 and after all his sporting life here he wouldn't need to use those methods to put pressure on the club.
Besides it's not the first time that it is said that he wants to change and try another team. Fatigue, lack of motivation and perhaps he feels a bit undervalued, but it's a guess.
 
He's easily replaceable, very limited player.

if he doesnt want to be here, I'm glad he's going - enjoy the bench at PSG Ander.
I hope we kick up a MASSIVE stink when PSG come sniffing.

Ander to Paris needs to be marketed like a win for PSG and a loss for United.

The Qataris get butthurt when they get knocked out of Europe and love to take revenge by nabbing players from their conquerors.

If we let Herrera go too easily, they'll come back for someone better.

If we get Rabiot on a free instead then I can live with this move. If we have to spend a lot of cash to replace Herrera then I am not fine at all with it.

Looks like Rabiot is off to play in Spain.

Herrera replacement will cost us £50m+

If that's the case then it just takes even more out of the budget for a position in the squad that although could be looked at was definitely not a higher priority than many others.

The way we were overrun against various teams (even under Ole) shows we are in dire need of more central midfielders. Heck, not just one.

Wolves outplayed us, Watford outplayed us. Its not normal.
 
If you're going to lecture me on the forum at least try to be accurate. There's droves of posts where folks react to a comment and miss sarcasm even when there's white text added. You just don't typically see paragraphs written out explaining it nor this level of animosity. Folks just clarify that it was a joke and move on without some added barb in there.

And that's the problem - someone found your 'joke' distasteful and you're going to lengths to make them, what, feel bad for it? That's like a comedian walking into the crowd after a bombed joke, arguing with the audience members that boo'd or didn't laugh. Sigh.

Sigh, indeed. I’m well bored of this now.

Maybe I’m as guilty as you were in over reacting so let’s just leave it as that.
 
To everyone calling Varane overrated, did you not watch the world cup a few months ago? The guy was incredible.

Not to overlook the 3 or 4 Champions Leagues he's won. Yet he's still only 26.

I call bullshit that he's available and this is probably the usual play for an improved contract.

The team won, I agree he was very good at the world cup but please name the season at Real where he stood out.
 
Varane would be my perfect pick if I could pick any CB for us to sign. Not going to happen though, highly doubt he really wants to leave Real
 
Bring in Varane, Griezmann, Ndombele and Sidibe. Trade out the Spaniards for the French and complete number 21.
 
Knowing Ed, he'll probably chase Varane while De Ligt is out there readily available. Hopefully Ole tells him he doesn't want Varane and not to waste everyone's time

Doubt De Ligt is 'readily' available when he's been nailed on to sign for Barca since they signed De Jong

Would rather spend 100m on Koulibaly than Varane as I believe he's a better defender. Varane is the bigger name/profile but I've never truly been sold by him,Umtiti was the real anchor of that backline in Russia
 
I don't want Varane purely for the reason that I'm sick of having injured central defenders and don't want to add another one made of glass.

Varane, Griezmann, Ndombele and Rabiot please. Sidibe isn't all that would rather Kenny Lala. Think we'd win the world cup

He's certainly not 'readily available' but it's strange that if, as you say, he's nailed on to sign for barca that for some reason he hasn't done so yet when de Jong was agreed long since. I'm not convinced he's decided to go to barca or that they're necessarily even front runners.
 
I see we entered full football manager mode :drool:
To be fair, If Herrera is off we probably will need to go full Football Manager mode. a CM, CB and a RW/forward was priority, If Ander does go than we'll need another Centre mid. That's without any other possible outgoings
 
Yeah this needs to be a big summer
A top class CB + RW are a must, with RB, CM × 2 also needed
We can't go into the season with just Pogba, Fred, New CM and Matic as main options in midfield. We need a creative #8 or a #10 plus a DM
 
The guy is tired of CL crunch ties and finals, he wants a scrap for top 4 like challenge.
Kovacic did the same, once in a while a football player wants to try something new. Varane has already won everything he could with Real Madrid.

Well the guy has played about 180 matches over the last 4 years - so its not like he is injured a lot
 
Partey would be an upgrade over both Herrera and Matic,glad that we seem to be targeting mainly young talents again as Ole said instead of 29/30 year olds...

About time we were serious about building for the future



Hope we're also in for Ndombele,he'd be a hell of a partner for Pogba
