Varane is apparently very highly rated by Zidane. I think he'd be a good addition, especially with Real looking to sell Garay. Still hoping we won't buy Neymar...especially for 45million. That's just outrageous!
I don't mind Neymar per se; I think he is a talented kid but with an ego. Though 45million for a 19 year old is outrageous and sends a very bad message to La Fabrica - which is ironic, considering Mourinho is set to assume the role of director of La Fabrica. I'd be okay if we pay around the range of 15-20m. The only reason Santos are valuing him at 45m is because they don't want to let him go.
the thing is, he's talented enough, but he's not as good as the media pictures him to be. They describe him as the new Pelé, future Messi and yada yada, but a big part of his good plays happened against weak teams in a shity championship (Paulistão). Plus, he has this indescribable love for diving. I think he still has lots more to work on before he gets to a club like Real Madrid, he needs experience against big clubs. And Real Madrid first team is not the place to give a new kid some international experience! As you said, it would send a bad message to our cantera. If we are willing to pay a lot of money to give the kid some experience, why don't we just take a kid from the cantera? I honestly think we have kids as talented (if not better) than Neymar at our own cantera, and we don't need to spend 45million on them.
I don't know anything about this kid but if Zizou thinks highly of him he has to be pretty talented. And the president of Lens had said they he had rejected bids from Manchester United and Madrid, so I guess Zizou is playing a big part in getting him here.
I'd rather get him than Neymar or Kun. I'm sure Neymar is very talented but his ego annoys me. 45 million is a lot of money to put on a 19 year-old. I think Santos should hold on to him a bit longer before he moves to another club. Tbh, I wish we wouldn't invest in a striker and just see if we can focus on Morata (that's if he doesn't go out on loan, hope not!). I just think investing money in new players send a bad message to the Castilla players. I want them to get a chance too.

Ok, I wouldn't go this far, but yeah, I will be highly disgusted if we buy him.

Yes, especially such young players. He's only 18. I'm sure he's talented, but it doesn't seem fair.
I hope the press is wrong and this doesn't mean David Mateos is out. :/
