Benjamin Pavard

I've never previously been a fan of Pavard but if we do get him maybe he'll surprise many, just like other defenders we've signed in recent years.

Think back to when Ake signed many said he's bang average compared to what we already have, or that we didn't need him the money would be better spent elsewhere etc.

The same with Akanji many said he's bang average compared to what we have, beyond a few early mistakes both him and Ake have been resounding successes.

I've never really seen Pavard make mistakes despite always thinking he was overrated, maybe he's one of those players you have to see for your team to fully appreciate.

Bayern fans actually love Pavard which surprised me and the only reason they're replacing him is the same as Akanji at Dortmund, he's made it very obvious that he has no plans to extend his contract and he's moving on once it expires.
Always a good sign in my opinion if their Fans rate him highly and wouldn’t want him to leave (a la Bournemouth with Aké)
 
the only issue that i have with pavard is that he is known to be a bit of a knob and was also complaining about not playing in the middle while at bayern. His physical and technical attributes are elite
 
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?
No I don’t on point 1, we were so lucky Rodri didn’t get injured otherwise there was no way we would have done the treble and yes Gvardiol accepted but not at the behest of everything else. I guess you are a Phillips fan boy based on your comments

We are so lucky that Pep is the manager, so lucky that Haaland can score 50 a season, so lucky that Dias and Stones are two of the best defenders in the world and you can go on and on.

We havent got a clue what would have happened if Phillips had played. Phillips fan boy, what on earth are you going on about.
 
This is precisely the summer to go big though. Lots of departures, need to refresh the squad after winning it all and the penultimate season to use Pep’s pull to bring in certain names.
Good point about the possibility of lots of departures and the refreshing of the squad. That definitely fits better with me because there is an expenditure and income working there. Not so sure about the penultimate season, there is nowhere better in world football for him to be and he he is still young enough to give the club game 10 more years. He loves to beat a record so I’m sure he will have Fergie’s 13 EPL titles in his line of sight!

He said that after the charges to claim he wasn’t giving up. That has nothing to do with extending his contract. Since then, he has given hints in interviews that he won’t

Doubt that tbh. The only indication is he’s completed all his objectives as a manager. Now he will stay as long as he feels comfortable.
