Seems like a solid character.

Even his departure from Real was handed with grace.

Still waters run deep.

Really good read.

Notable words I picked up - tranquility, pace, tactical intelligence, quiet assuredness, winning mentality, elegance, efficiency...

A lot to look forward to!

A perfect partner for Slabhead. I think our defensive concerns are eliminated, we no longer have to play 2 CDMs, one should suffice. Meaning a greater attacking intent with hand brakes well and truly off!

“He’s a quiet lad who never causes problems"
"It’s like he hasn’t done anything"
"Not enough of a bad guy to triumph"
"There wasn’t a single, stand out moment"

So he's a timid yes man who is scared to upset the apple cart and doesn't stand out at all. Sounds like the PE teacher we have in charge.

“ He’s got an incredible physique, such, such, such brutal speed”…..
That was the bit that got me, pace in our defence after so long, a real compliment to Maguire.

A composed character on and off the field. A quality player that does his thing quietly on the pitch.

He has a smilar aura about him like Cavani does.

I personally think it's great to have different kinds of characters in the squad.

And when Slabhead tells Marcus to shape up and his lordship turns around and tells his captain to feck off, Varane will quietly fall into blissful ignorance galloping across the lush OT lawn swatting away every attacking threat, dreaming of Sergio Ramos.

This is no ordinary man, he's Dalai Lama's apprentice!

I'll give you that. Regardless, he's a monumental improvement on Lindelof. I'm not one to overstate our chances and don't think we're going to win the league next year, but Varane is a huge upgrade for us and we are much stronger for it. Especially with how he should compliment Maguire. And I'm not overrating Maguire either when I say he's a world class centre back

Just sort out central midfield, i.e., the Pogba situation (staying? going? If going, replacement?) and there's a team there which will be competing directly with City and Chelsea.

Terminator is just upset that they lost a starting CM and signed a starting CB. Arguably gone backwards. Squad stagnating while those around them are improving both the squad and the first XI.

It's not cringe, we're just emotional to finally see a comparable partnership to Bruce / Pallister and Vidic /Ferdinand

Some of the things people are saying are utterly cringeworthy. He’s an excellent signing, no doubt. But people are literally lauding what an amazing person he is, it’s ridiculous.

Yeah I think that's fair. We are still lacking there

Everyone who has played or come in contact with him seem to be unanimous that he's a top guy, a quiet guy. Everything one does not see nowadays in elite sports people.

Nothing wrong with everyone praising his good character.

There may be some artistic licence applied by a few elevating him to zen like status, we're only doing that as it's pre (fishing) season. Have to get the practice in.
