Benjamin Pavard

"A player Pep is very interested in."

The wording is noted. FWIW, I don't think this is on.

I mean, if Pep 'wanted' him, I'd think differently. Maybe also, if Pep was 'very keen' on him, or 'Rated him very highly'.

Or maybe, if the club was very interested. That usually means something in transfer terms.

But a manager 'being interested' in a player? It seems to fall a long way short of saying he wants him in his squad.

Language, eh? It's probably nothing. Just an impression.

Still waiting on Walkers decision before moving onto Pavard. Monday will be key for many players
 
I am trying to think in the Pep era how many players did we try to sign that had won the Champions League before (Carson excluded)? And yet, the summer after we do win it we could be signing two in Kovacic and Pavard. I can’t help but think it’s not a coincidence. This age range and amount of experience isn’t the type of players we usually go for. My kind of (the much needed) refreshing of the squad would be players with top quality and experience but that haven’t won that much yet, like Haaland and Akanji last summer, Gvardiol, or how Bellingham and Rice would have been. Their motivation to win is different and much needed. When a player has won too much, it’s different (hence why the refreshing is needed)
