I honestly have never heard of him never mind walk past him
Who?
He's also on 400k a week.Varane went for 43 million and has won champions leagues, la liga, a world cup etc etc
Ben White has won championship player of the month
even if Arsenal were interested, I doubt Varane would have joined them as he apparently wanted to go to play at Old TraffordAt least with Varane at the reported fee of £42M, Man U are getting an experienced CL and WC winning center back. With Ben White, Arsenal are buying potential.
Seen very little of BHA but I wouldn’t consider them defensively strong.
Who?
Very talented lad but most Brighton fans would’ve given him a piggy back to the Emirates for that money. Big chunk off the Amex mortgage
Just because something ridiculous happens more often doesn't make it any less risible."EPL player is sold for crazy amount of money SHOCKER"
Imagine needing your sister as a reference point to who you are in football.Ellen whites brother.
A very bright future he reads the game well has a turn of pace not rapid but no slouch , saw him 2 years ago at leeds when he was 21 and strolled the championship so much so leeds wanted to buy him last year and offered £22 million but Brighton wouldn't sell to what they classed as a rival .....they said last year they'd only sell at £50 millionNot suggesting the fee is reasonable however, he’s a good CH with a bright future
Oh dear.Imagine needing your sister as a reference point to who you are in football.
It is certainly difficult to understand especially as Varane is not that old. Maybe, just maybe, reflects the financial difficulties that RM are in. Almost a forced sale and that at a time when not many teams have a lot of cash spare - or at least not as much cash as usual.Varane went for 43 million and has won champions leagues, la liga, a world cup etc etc

A talent like Varane or Ben White for a bigger fee? Let me think for a nanosecond.It is certainly difficult to understand especially as Varane is not that old. Maybe, just maybe, reflects the financial difficulties that RM are in. Almost a forced sale and that at a time when not many teams have a lot of cash spare - or at least not as much cash as usual.
Having typed all that it it does still seem extraordinary that Varane is costing less than White.

Varane will be costing a lot more than White, considerably so. Their salaries will not be comparable.It is certainly difficult to understand especially as Varane is not that old.

I grew up in the sixties and nothing was different except the price tag - and that is down to inflation. By the seventies Trevor Francis was a million quid. No player is worth that was the cry. Where does it stop they said. Soon after Francis, who was a brilliant player, Nish and Daley were the biggest transfers in British history. Nish barely had a cap and although I don't remember Daley he was not a much capped player. You could continue on through the eighties and on and on. Teams either have the money for these fees or they don't.Never heard of him until this transfer saga started. 50 million pound players should be reputable and proven. Footballs goinf a horrible way down south. Harry kane 150 mill, jack grelish 100 million?! Absolutely outrageous what price tags the media put on players heads but how does it stop?
A very good point but why then did Madrid not try and extend it - or extend it the previous year? I am musing here not asking you to answer for Madrid! Also why if Varane in his final year was looking to leave was there not a few teams after him as he would be going cheaply? All of these are just thoughts not argumentative points.Varane was in the last year of his contract.

They did but Varane told them he wouldn’t be signing a new deal, that coupled with Real’s need to get in some money (nowhere near as pressing as Barca’s but they still need to) led to a reduced fee.A very good point but why then did Madrid not try and extend it - or extend it the previous year?
