Benjamin Pavard

Will tick a lot of the boxes for Pep, very easy to see why we would be interested.

‘Very underwhelming’ was mentioned on here many times when we bought Dias.

I told everyone Dias was going to be a fucking beast. Does that mean I'm allowed to say Pavard won't improve us at all?

In fact, with Walker on the way out, I'd say it's a fairly large downgrade.

Better player for the new system? Pep and Txiki will have a plan and it seems the what we have known traditional fullback is now done and dusted and Pavard is better suited?

Much better suited. An Ake but on the right side.

Have you heard anything on this @tolmie's hairdoo

It’s like we aren’t allowed to look at the players themselves. “They also said bad things about Akanji!” So we’re not supposed to discuss anything concrete

Don't you know that the fact that 1 player has exceed expectations, that means every player will from now on and you are not allowed to think a transfer is terrible?

 

[mosssideblue]

Ask yourself why bayern want to replace him with a 33 year old Walker.

Askyourself why we might want to consider that exchange

Exactly, mate. I don't understand the negativity of some on here, flap flap flap. From available players out there, he is literally the perfect replacement. A brilliant player at the right age, with the right experience, statistics speak for themselves, a starter for France and Bayern. He wants to leave, and he would fit our new system perfectly. He is no Kyle Walker, but no one is, and Kyle wants a new challenge. Pep knows best, and Pep wants Pavard.

We didn't - we clearly wanted to keep walker. he refused.

 

[mosssideblue]

We didn't - we clearly wanted to keep walker. he refused.

And is that not the same for Pavard?

 

[blueparrot]

We didn't - we clearly wanted to keep walker. he refused.

We'd only swap for Pavard if we think he's a suitable replacement.

Come on, what does Txiki and co know? They should ask our own experts over here for advice.

 

[leo_city]

We didn't - we clearly wanted to keep walker. he refused.

So what now? Who in the market is the right profile that suits us and is actually attainable? We can only make 100m exceptions for cases like Gvardiol. And as you said, Walker is the one who refused and wants to go. What can we do other than replace him with what’s the best suited option on the market.

 

[BrazilianGus]

The only lesson here is once again Pep and co understand players need a certain pedigree to perform at our level. That’s why we don’t elevate Academy kids or loanees to replace senior names or very rarely sign players who haven’t proven themselves at a certain competitive level. No matter how much that is suggested here

 

[walker_is_faster]

I can see this happening, if he would cost £25m-£30m that deals City like.

Nope, I merely pointed out that I had read the same when we bought Dias. Nothing more than that.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Class signing if we get him, makes sense in terms of positioning and the way Pep is clearing moving towards with the back line

It is so easy to negate the level at which City operate on the pitch. Makes total sense they’d go for a profile like this yeah

 

[samuelyeboah]

Point is with all my suspicion towards this transfer if pep likes and wants him he should be here and I very much welcome him!
