Benjamin Pavard

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!
