RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 £25k a week for Varane is a criminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 £25k a week for Varane is a criminalWhen he signed that contract he was an 18 year old and was a 4th choice CB at the club. He signed a 6 year contract, Real are not going to renew until next season at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD3D 1,038 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Pepe is 31 years old and Varane has the potential to become one of the greatest defenders of all time. You guys are absolutely nuts if you actually believe Real Madrid is going to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This will be an unpopular opinion but If we were to sign a CB during this window,I'd much rather sign Benatia than Varane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This will be an unpopular opinion but If we were to sign a CB during this window,I'd much rather sign Benatia than Varane.Why? Benatia is older, more expensive, and doesn't have a relationship with Mou. Varane, though unlikely, would be the far better investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd choose Varane any day.Shaw-Luis is completely different situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd choose Varane any day.Shaw-Luis is completely different situation.I agree that Varane has got the potential to be the Best CB one day but it does not mean that he will become one.Our defence is brilliant and I trust it as well but seriously a backline of Courtois-Azpi-Benatia-Terry-Luis would be the best in the world especially with Matic ahead of them. I'd be happy with either of them but as of now I prefer Benatia but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only started hearing about him the last season and a half or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 How long has Benatia been "world class"? I only started hearing about him the last season and a half or so.Varane is already better than Benatia....and Benatia isnt world-class by any means. He is a very good defender yes, but world-class? hasnt proven himself on international stage yet and italian league is generally better for CBs due to the lower speed.

Mechromancer 262 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 And that's the best feature of Raphael. He is ridiculously fast. Better out his area than in, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
