When exactly will Varane play?

We keep saying he's inexperienced, but how is he suppose to get experience if he barely plays?

Is he suppose to play 2 games a year against a division 10 team in the Copa del Rey first round to get experience?

Personally I think he has the potential to become the best CB at Real Madrid. In fact I'd take him over Pepe, Albiol and Carvalho if it wasn't for the experience problem.

i think with pepes behavior in the recent clasico this is the time for varane to start playing..

but we all know carvalho will be paired with ramos.

I really want him to start playing........however not that I want Pepe dropped.A 3 centre back rotation would work for me...and I get why some people don't want that but still........I think these guys have the communication and mindset to make it work against most La liga sides.

he is getting enough games for an 18 year old

I think Mou isn't good in trusting young players. in clasico he could use Varane instead of Carvalho who was injured for 2 month.

gosh how much kneejerk there has been nowadays

may i remind you this was his first "fault" in quite a long time

if it were up to the fans Varane would be our 3rd CB but knowing Mou he would probably prefer Carvalho, Pedro Mendes or some next Portuguese guy from U16 to play over him... nothing new

Anymore quick fixes you want to recommend?

I've wanted him to play more...not exfactly start but to play more you know...more leauge games...more COPA games.......I want him to get at least 20 games by the end of the season.

Yeah, Varane deserves to be played as much as possible. He's a wonderful player, and humble. He's much more of a madridista (even tho he didn't come up thru our ranks) than much of our other players.

I think it was Mourinho who wanted him, and I'm amazed at how little playing time he gets. Actually, we generally don't rotate enough. I think Albiol, Granero, Altintop, Sahin, Adan, even Kaka until recently have been given very little time on the pitch.

I know some of these players have used the given time badly, but you cannot expect them to be in-form if they're warming the bench.

I know that Real cannot risk with playing anyone but the most in-form players all the time (especially in LaLiga where every point lost is a possible title-breaker), but I think Mourinho can trust Sahin and Varane more.

its the half way mark of the season and he has got 8 games alread.y. that isnt bad.. hoping he gets to 15 , 20 upper limit.. that woulld be good enough for an 18 year old.

Marca says Varane trained alongside Ramos in todays training session. Mourinho plans to use Varane as a "anti-Llorente". Varane is 1.91 meters, Llorente is 1.95.
