Forget him already... There are plenty of good defenders available.

I wish you were right... But who would be available, cheap enough and most importantly better than what we have?

Btw, LOVE your profile pic! :D

Well, I'm not even sure if we should sign a CB. Ivanovic could replace Terry and I also believe in Zouma.

It's hard to tell if a CB would fit in or not. Cahill played for the worst team in the Premier League when we signed him. Bolton's defense was a mess, but he had the potential and was confident enough to perform very well against Barcelona and Bayern München. On the other hand, Khalid Boulahrouz was quite expensive but turned out to be an awful player, so it's really not easy to predict.

I think N'Koulou, Laporte, Musacchio, Inigo Martinez, Manolas or De Vrij all have the potential to become a starter at Chelsea and they could be all available for a couple of millions. Varane has just extended his contract, I can't see Real Madrid letting him go.

Not sure why this thread is even open still.

Just signed a new contract, plays for the world's biggest club, is very young and surrounded by somewhat aging CB's. He's going to be the rock at the back for Real Madrid for years and years.

Zero chance we can get him. This is almost like the Messi thread. Pointless thinking it's possible.

Where did you get that from as well? He recently signed a 6 year deal, no way he's going for that cheap.

Oh, didnt know that. Was his old clause that was around 25m. Seems it is 100m+ now rofl. Guess the chance of getting him is below 0.

If City payed crazy money for Mangala, you can bet Varane will go for even crazier money.

Not even that. Rumours are flying around that Perez won't sanction big money signings on defenders, he only wants attacking players. Ancelotti will need Varane more than ever.

Not sure why threads need to be locked just because the player has signed a new contract or joined a new club...

He didn't just mention and praise him out of the blue yesterday, he was asked the question which young players he's given chances to.

Like I mentioned before, can't see any way Real Madrid sell him. Unless he wants a 100% guarantee that he'll be first choice going forward and José somehow promises him that and Ancellotti doesn't. Even then we've just sold David Luiz for £50m. Part of that massively inflated fee was down to Luiz being super marketable and globally famous, but Varane is way younger and is a much better defender. Real would probably demand a monstrous fee for him.

I'd donate $1000 to TalkChelsea if we got him. :)
