Was wondering if anyone had any info on the Benjamin Pavard rumour in the Daily Mirror? They are saying we want him next summer for £35m but apparently he already has a pre-agreement to sign for Bayern?

Its lazy journalism. we have TAA, gomez and clyne
Why would you even believe in such a stupid rumor for an overrated player?

{Ed001's Note - he is a centre back.}

Niinja that was an unnecessarily harsh response to what was a perfectly innocent question.

Sorry ninja didn't realise he was overrated. Clearly the professional coaches and managers such as World cup winner as player and manager Didier Deschamps have no idea what they are doing. Clearly you are far more intelligent than cretins like them.

Assuming your "overrated" comment Ninja is based on you not hearing of the player before the world cup. The fact that you thought he was a right back would also suggest this.

The player himself is coming off a season where he played every single second of Stuttgart's Bundesliga campaign. He was regularly nominated for young player of the month and while he did play a variety of positions his permanent move into central defence in the latter half of the season coincided with the team only conceding 10 goals in 14 games as they moved from the relegation places into 7th. He then had a very good world cup despite being played out of position (Croatia was the only game he seemed to struggle with) . He's a very talented young player and certainly not overrated, hence Bayern's serious interest.

Now I don't think there's any truth in the reports linking him to Liverpool, but there's no need to be rude. Especially about a player you're not overly familiar with.

One the better CB in bundesliga last season and he is unknown too a lot of people, how can he be overrated? He is also 22 years old, and have just started he's career.

This is why people lose interest in posting rumours. Well done Ninja. Good job 😂😂.

Could be a good squad edition. plays multiple positions and we seem a little short at centre back now Klaven has left.

OP was also just asking a question. FIFA also rates pavard fairly highly too.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he was excellent last season, so he deserves to be highly rated. In fact he probably underperformed in the World Cup due to playing out of position from what I have seen of him.}

You can't just become a world cup winner unless you have something.

Like your talking about a world cup winning rb, that's no fluke.

According to german media there is a pre-agreement with him and Bayern but according to bayern there isn't one.

I think his release clausle is at € 35mio IF Stuttgart (which is very likely) won't get into the champions league. If somehow they end up in the champions league then his clausle expires.

Im not really sure how bayern is able to draw the clausle when its not even there yet but hey, bayern have done shady business in the past and it wouldn't suprise me if they have done it again.

you can also add djimi traore and john o'shea as champions league winners.

Cool.

Exhibit a started 3 games. Didn't play in the final.

Exhibit b needs a kante type to thrive, and actually had the kante with him.

The premise of needing another player to make you look good is exactly what stops you from being that good.

I am always amazed that some people need these things explaining to them.

Trophies won is never a way judge the quality of a player. Ever. There are some awful ones that have won several trophies and some amazing players that have won none.

It's the sort of argument that Man Utd and Chelsea fans throw at Liverpool fans to show why our players aren't that good.

No bud there's something to be said to be a starting playing in all but 1 game of a world cup winning team.

Not a squad player like some on here are suggesting. John oshea was a utility player.

My point is you don't start all but one game in a world cup campaign and be a passenger. He contributed and was a part of the starting team that won.

Secondly yeah I agree to an extent but no player can do it alone, the problem with pogba is he gets named as a cm and therefore expected to do the whole shebang in the middle. He isn't a cm. He is a cam. So therefore he does need help defensively and when he has it he does have good attacking qualities.

Eamonsf, yes you are correct i had no clue about him before I saw him in the world cup.
Also, his wc performances were crap for a RB, somehow he and france survived the belgian onslaught.

Hence, the analysis that he is overrated based on what I saw in wc.

Pavard is a good player, wouldn't say no to him at all. Vvd gomez lovern and pavard certainly wouldn't need us looking for another centre back anytime soon.

Agree0 Disagree0

If he did sign, it would leave us in good stead having Trent as the only out and out right back, as he, Fabinho and Gomez could play there if needed - so we could probably move on Clyne and Matip for one player incoming. Not saying it will happen, but seems like a good idea.

Stephane Guivarc'h should be exhibit A.
