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.
