Rumoured Raphael Varane

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

He is never leaving anyway, did he make the mandatory speech about staying at Madrid for the rest of his career yet LOL?

Hummels will be our next summer, actually on 2nd thought he is injury prone as fuck so just pass him on. Lets raid Atletico for Godin or Miranda,

Subotic?

Subotic?

Are you serious!? Sokratis is stronger than Subotic

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Subotic?

Good defender but doesn't seem to be that top top defender(considered top 10 in the world) and also was out for like over a year, just came back. Generally stay away from Dortmund defenders as they all seems to pick up long term injuries/serious injuries quite often even though they are good players.

Not good enough for Chelsea especially if he was to become 1st choice.

Manolas please

We can still get him. Thiago signed a contract with Milan and left like a day later. There's hope.

PSG had to pay big money to snatch him from them. Now that Varane has signed a contract his price, release clause, wages demands have all significally incrased.

Chelsea can afford it...

I believe if the club is serious about FFP, which I think they are. They won't.

I read we could break the British transfer record and still be well in line with Financial Fair Play.

[Rapkun 668]

I don't know about that, but looking back at our latest transfer windows. I don't think we're playing that game anymore.

and if it were to happen, it most certainly won't be on Varane. It's too much of a gamble.

[nyikolajevics 2,690]

He just signed a long-term contract which means Real Madrid is serious about their future and so is Varane. They would probably let him go for 40-50 millon but he is not worth that much money. There are plenty great CB's out there. The most important thing for a CB is to build a good partnership with the other CB. If we signed someone for 50 million and he can't make a great duo with Cahill it's wasted money.

We haven't even tried Zouma or Christensen. They are young, sure, but Varane was 18 when Madrid signed him.

[Beepu 1,714]

Aww

He's one of my favourite defenders right now, but maybe this will mean an opportunity for the likes of Kalas, Omeruo, Zouma and Christensen. And who knows how good they will become in the future.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Well, good for him then.

Didn't Gourlay say we already have JT's replacement? Christensen? Zouma? Kalas? Omeruo? Chalobah?

Hope most of them could make it here. They've got the talents.

But do any of them have Varane's potential.?
