Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

[TUPACified]

From the last few days many of the English Newspapers linking Raphaël Varane to Chelsea and Man United.
Today Daily Star Reported that Mourinho will do everything possible to Lure Varane away from Real to Chelsea. Roman Abrahimovic is ready to pay about €55m for him.

- And a few moments ago BILD (The most reliable German Source) reported that Pep is really interested in Varane and wants him in his team next season.

- So there will be 3 big offers for Varane at the end of the season from Chelsea, United and Bayern Munich. All 3 of them are ready to make him Starting XI figure in team.

- He's a Pearl as far as I'm concerned, Undoubtedly the best young CB in the world. It'll be a wise move by RM to make him starting XI player next season, Many of you might have seen it he feels comfortable with Ramos on field. He is our future and I don't want him to leave Real even for €100m. We might not found another young good CB as him. Pepe is aging but we will need him at many points next season but he can do the job from Bench.

truth be told, Varane ain't been the same since he came back from his knee injury. On the other hand, Pepe has been our best defender for the past 2 years, Ramos been a leader and guarantees goals, so Varane must earn his place. If he wants to leave, and the money is right, then let him. And lets go get Marquinhos or Laporte, or both. We are Real Madrid.

I don't know. May be you're right, but remember, what Pepe and Ramos provide, Varane lacks, and vice versa. Pepe and Ramos have that leadership, great positioning and a knack for interceptions. Varane has a level head, incredible pace and clinical tackles. The classico showed why this is true. I think if you have Varane with his pace and his clinical tackling, there's no way that Suarez get number two.
Somehow, I agree with you, as we saw earlier this year when Varane and Nacho had to deputize the back line that Varane does not have the leadership and awareness to be able to keep the back line together. We need the combination of experience that Pepe/Ramos provides and youthful speed and energy that Varane provides to have a truly complete CB.

One thing about Varane that has always worried me, is his lack of aggressiveness. Don't get me wrong, i like clean defenders, but not soft ones. You can't play a soft Defender like Varane against the bulldogs like Suarez or Tevez and the likes, they'll eat him alive. He can only shine vs the likes of Messi, who play a clean game. He needs to improve on that real fast

Ok, on his current form and the basis of this season, €60M would be gold for Perez. But form is temporary and class permanet. He'll be one the best deffenders of his generation this coming few years, but we can't keep him, Real Madrid always means business.

Raul: Ballon D'or? "I have dedicated my life to what I love doing: playing football. One time I was second in the Ballon d'Or, another time I was third. Could I have got there? Maybe. But it's not important to me. Football is a team sport."
