Raphael Varane

[stavros]

Don't need him.

We have two of the best teenage defenders in the world: Nastasic and Rekik.

Obviously we have all seen how Nastasic has done this season, but Rekik is just as big a prospect. Even the first time I watched him, I could see he was a star. He's easily the best prospect we have in our youth system, in my opinion. I could see him taking Lescott's place as early as next season, that's how good he is. That might surprise some of you, but who expected Nastasic to replace Lescott in the first eleven?

Kompany, Nastasic and Rekik will be Manchester City defenders for years to come.

Verane is already technically & athletically better now than Nastasic will be in 5 years. All he lacks is games. It's not a close thing, it's comparing a Volvo with a Ferrari. Rekik has more natural talent than Nastasic but Verane has something extra than him too: pace.

If we offered Real both of them plus £20 mil I doubt they would take it.

he is an unreal footballer.

go as far as saying he could be one of the true greats.

All this because he scored in the el classico PMSL.

Bollocks. How patronising.

Just because you can't spot a player, don't assume the rest of us are all idiots.

It's got fuck all to do with him scoring & everything to do with what he can do at the other end of the pitch.

Because he's quality of a kind we rarely ever see.

If he never scored another goal in his life it wouldn't matter a shit if he develops as he should do as a defender.

Ronaldo recons he'll be one of the best in the world in a few years & I agree with him.

 

[King-Kun]

Has a big future. Nastasic needs a partner in crime for the next 10 years.
Worth a bid without doubt. Nothing to lose.

 

[mgreenz97]

No chance of getting him.
Not for all the money in the world, he isn't for sale at all.
This guy will be one of the best in the world one day, and he'd definitely prefer to stay at Madrid, with better players, a better academy and a club constantly challenging for La Liga and Champions league.

He's been playing for a while and nothing, he scores a goal in the el classico and he's a world beater.

Same with Zabaleta, plays well all season and no praise, scores 2 in January and he's in the top five performers this year in the league.

The next one will be Natastic, he won't get the praise he deserves until he scores.

This part of the forum gets more and more like a Football Manager fans forum for tips and bargains!

He looks at home with Ramos already, and I saw first hand just how truly world-class Ramos is at the City/Real game a couple of months back.

A Varane/Nastasic partnership in a few years time would be frightening. Unfortunately, Varane isn't going anywhere.

I don't know what fucking planet you live on, but believe me Pablo has been highly rated by City fans for a long time.

And once again, Verane is fast, skillfull, intelligent, strong, & basically a fantastic, world class player in the making once he learns a few tricks of the trade. He dropped a bollock v Evra yesyerday, but one piece of defending v Wellbeck was as good as anything any of our defenders have ever produced. He was winning 1v1s against Messi last week.

Don't be so fucking ignorant to assume that some of us are so stupid that we only notice him because he scores a goal. Perhaps you are that clueless that a goal would shape your opinion of a defender, but I am not, I care about their ability to defend.

You're a fool. Nastasic has been getting praised all season even if he hasn't score a goal so I don't know where you're getting that idea from.
Varane has also had praise heaped on him for most of the season, well before he scored in the Classico, so once again you're talking shit.
Zabaleta has been praised this season because he's been the stand out player for us this season. Last season he wasn't getting so much praise because he didn't play all the time, because Micah was 1st choice. But Zaba has been praised all season for his amazing work rate, tackling and attacking down the wing, it's nothing to do with his goal scoring in January. You're a genuine twat.

I'm sorry bit it's the truth. I am a City fan but it's blatantly obvious which team he'd prefer to play for.
Aguero, Silva and just about every other player at the club would move to Madrid if they got the chance, and were guaranteed a starting position, maybe with the exception of Hart, Kompany, Zaba, Micah.
