Benjamin Pavard Is name being touted to be on Liverpool's radar Ed's and yep you've guessed its all over twitter, you've probably answered this but can't say I can find it.

{Ed002's Note - Benjamin Pavard (CB/RB) Chelsea see Pavard as a direct replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta but with a RB already purchased for the summer they have another CB priority. The interest of Manchester United will likely not be of interest to the player who won't want to be in playing exclusively as a RB. Inter failed with an offer in January but will return in the summer. Milan have had ongoing issues with the RB position and may look to deal in the summer, something the player is open to subject to being able to play at CB as well. A wildcard option might be Barcelona or Juventus. Bayern are open to a new contract and Thomas Tuchel will not want to be looking for a replacement. Expect a new contract to now be rejected and clubs to open negotiations. If Liverpool are now interested I can only assume it is via the new Sporting Director.}

Ed002 thanks so much for that in-depth reply I appreciate it mate.

That would be a clever purchase. If we also added Gravenberch I would call that a good window.

Acered you mean along with Thuram aswell or would you be happy with Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Pavard?

Have to admit I'd absolutely love to see Pavard come in he's the perfect player to fill in at CB/ RB or even the inverted RB/ CM role he's that good and has bag of experience.

Would personally love to add Thuram too and that window is golden.

Skezza11 I don’t think Thuram arrives without Kone but those two would be great. Just can’t see that happening but we will see.

So true Acered. I went for a job with a friend once and told the interviewer you hire us both or you don't get me. It's common practice.

Not sure what anyone sees in Pavard. An average player that will probably not want to play second fiddle to Ibou and/ or Trent.

I hope we don’t go for him. No pace, no mobility, poor attitude and a mediocre defender.

@Davey, same thing happened to me one year at an audition for the Christmas pantomime. In the end they just hired me and the pantomime horse looked really weird that year.

@FPF, I agree, seems a potential purchase because we think we need a defender rather than it being the defender we might need. The only thing I can think is that they have someone lining up to buy Matip or Gomez. As we have TAA, Bradley, Ramsey, Matip and Gomez to play on the right side I don’t see the point.

So in other words Matip and Gomez are better defenders VV give ya head a wobble as every player that gets associated with Liverpool are never any good give Klopp a ring give him some of your wisdom and expertise in transfers and player guidance.

I personally think he’s a decent defender. Okay not the strongest or quickest, but makes up for that with intelligence. For me, not many better at the right back centre half cover/ competition.

It’s the level we’re at, I think players like this will improve us.
When we get back into the champions league and back dining at the top table we need to buy the better players then.
Our mistakes can be beneficial for future success if we learn from them next time round.

Don’t we have some young talented RBs?

Pavard could free up Trent allowing him more time in his midfield role. gives us options and another dynamic.

We do Ron but they aren’t as good because they didn’t cost £30m+.

I would guess that if he signed it would be to play RCB as he is far more suited to the new system of 3 at the back when attacking than Gomez or Matip, but where is required to cover the RB space when Trent pushes into midfield.

Ibou plays this role well but can’t play every game.

We were getting players like Sadio and Gini last time we were out of the Champs League, players on the way up. can't see this happening, not going to want to be cover to Ibou or trent and can't see trent going to midfield permanently. surely if we were going to sign a CB/ fullback player it would be a left sided one.

Ramsay going on loan, and I would not be surprised to see Bradley have a season in the championship after his recent success.
