Benjamin Pavard

He isn’t just don’t see the point of this signing. Said the same about Phillips last season and was shot down and told how he would provide competition for a starting place lol. How wrong they were. Treble winners and we’re scraping the barrel for bargain basement signings. No one saw this coming, it’s actually quite sad as we’ve been fed the premise we do our signings early lol. Now we’re told it’s only half way through the window. Something it’s right here
Walker is back up, Pavard would be coming in that role. Do you see the point now?

Yes signing Phillips was so bad, we only won the treble. We were so wrong...

As for bargain basement signings, you might want to head over to the Gvardiol thread because we are about to pay a world record fee for a defender. Is that bargain enough for you?
 
If Laporte and Kyle leave -

Ake Gvardiol Akanji
Ake Gvardiol Ruben Akanji
Akanji Ruben Stones
Akanji Stones

Looks quite good, until you realise it's five players. How on earth is that enough?

Pavard plus one in?

I'm still wondering about an LB/CB who would be more of a typical LB. Still think Tierney works that way.

Gvardiol and Ake can play LB/CB

Pavard, Dias, Akanji, Stones, Ake Gvardiol & Lewis is 7.

That's what my thing attempted to show. In order who can fill LB, LCB, RCB, RB, in the 4CB system. Of course, I forgot Taylor HB.

It's also in response to people saying Pavard isn't any better than our current players. Doesn't matter. We need the numbers. Lewis I hope to see more of this year, but he is definitely an RB and pep is saying 4CB's.
 
I’ve never really rated him and Bayern want rid for a reason. If it’s for cash for Kane, then we should go after Sane or Kimmich, bully them for a change. Players that instantly add or improve us. Pavard doesn’t improve us in my opinion.
The problem with Sane or Kimmich - they're not defenders, which is what we need if Walker does indeed leave.
 
I really like Pavard. Fits our new style far more than Walker does. His statistics are very impressive. Dwarfs Walkers in fairness.

I'd love Hakimi though.

I think of Rico as more of a midfielder than cb so see him rotating the Stones roll whilst working on his physique he’s 18 after all. And like you say can slot in at RB if we change it up.

I think THB gets another loan ir sell with buy back etc. was expecting to Burnley but not sure now.

Akanji/Pavard as RCB
Dias at CB
Ake/Gvardiol at LCB

Stones/Rico as the CDM/CB

Could argue Gvardiol could also play the stones role which I’ve called CDM/CB here.

If Akanji and Ake were to start both Pavard or Gvardiol could rotate with Dias.
 
That’s the point isn’t it, walker doesn’t suit a system pep now wants to use?
Not really sure it's that. Walker is great for what he is great at. Shutting down speedy athletic wingers.

But Pavard is probably a better all round fullback. I don't get the hate he is getting. He is a solid hard-nose defender with good technique.

He isn't flashy, but he is consistent. I'd definitely take him.

Agreed Dax, knows how to win things as well and coming into his peak years.
