Hey Ed018,
Any interest in Aymeric Laporte? Would surely be more realistic to get him than Varane and I personally think he's as good if not better and less injury prone. Has also got great pace. I thought it was a given he would go to Madrid or Barca but he's still at Bilbao. Him and Zouma would be like a new Lebouef Desailly partnership. Please tell me we are interested.
{Ed018's Note - I've never heard of any interest in him from Chelsea}

Laporte isn't that fast to be honest. But he is a quality young player. What i'd like about him and Zouma would be the right/left foot partnership combination.

I believe ed002 mentioned several months ago that Real looked at Laporte as a replacement for Varane. But the asking price was wayyyyyy too high. Personally, I think he's be a great signing from what I've seen and heard bout him.
{Ed018's Note - I recall that as well. I think it was back in January}

Think Real had possibly asked us to pay his relocation costs, or at least some of the costs as far as I can remember ahah.
