He looks the real deal.
Can't exactly say we missed out on him though, like we should have gazumped Real Madrid. And Zidane was telling the kid to go to Madrid too.
Plus Jose knows how to get the best out of defenders. That is his bread and butter.

You can't believe that Real Madrid managed to sign a player ahead of us? ๐
We were in for him much earlier. And Wenger has french connection ๐
When you put it like that, I can't believe we never signed Zidane.
If you want a rebuttal for the sake of it, when Zidane was 18 Wenger was nowhere near Arsenal.
Anyway, Wenger used to monopolise the french market, not so now. Glad he is moving to the Spanish market.
The point is Madrid always* get their man.

We generally picked up class French players after they'd already moved to big clubs, but then struggled. So maybe we'll get Varane in a year or two. ;-)
How's about this for prospects

Roma GK just threw the ball in his own net. Literally. If anyone can find the clip or the gif, it's well worth it.

there was a very direct ball-thrown-into-goal incident a long time ago. I remember seeing the youtube vid.

Why did purple-top guy put his hands up like he had anything to do with that goal?

ironic celebration maybe? like "woo we scored a goal"
TBF, it was probably a reflex action and he quickly put his hands down.
Roma's downfall is not having a good goalie. Doni was pathetic, Stekelenburg was worse, and now this idiot.
Watching Madrid now, seriously how is it possible to look so good for a 19 yr old? Winning every challenge, outpacing every striker.
Speaking of Madrid Lost 1-0 to Granada ๐
