[Shue]

Lens defender, never seen him play personally, anyone know anything about him?

He's very highly rated apparently, but he's also 90% going to Man United. They've been very heavily linked to him over the last few weeks.

That article is unlikely to soothe the masses I bet. Don't know too much about Varane, looked decent on the few occasions have seen him though

Who?

Yet another linked player I've absolutely no clue of.

soccernet transfer blog says there's action imminent in the next 48 hrs, with us and utd in the frame.

Never seen him play but would another signing who is new to the league really be the way to go? would prefer Samba, Hangalaand or even Cahill for that reason.

I doubt Wenger would shell out 10m on him, as is being reported. He's apparently extremely highly rated though.

This guy has just turned 18 and wants to stay in France, we or whoever gets him will most likely loan him back, would be a signing for the future, we can sign Varane with the future in mind and a Samba/Cahill for right now.

I read the other day Varane visited Madrid and was shown around the Real stadium, so in demand.

 

[spartandre217]

He's 6'3" technically decent from all indications and not a small fellah.

Guess that's why he's being courted, ah well, we're likely not interested.

I'm sure by the time United buy him he'll be everyones new favourite.

 

[Humble Rex]

I predict you are correct!

 

[spartandre217]

They have enough under 21 central defenders IMO, their midfield on the other hand has been and remains cack. Think they should focus there for a tad. Give us other clubs a chance

 

[godfather]

Not worry, pink nose never got it right when signing players from France. LOL

 

[Humble Rex]

Cantona springs to mind...

Cantona springs to mind...

or Obertan.

Cantona had already cut his teeth with Leeds, obviously. It would be like stealing Nasri ...
