Oh yeah they would both have to leave
Swap Ramos for Rasmus
He was not even struggling. Some fans always wanted to have a more offensive solution on the right wing, too - and never understood that with a left offensive fullback and no real defensive no. 6 we need a more defensive fullback on the right for a good balance.
Funnily Bayern's right side with Pavard building from the back (and being solid there) always was the most productive for the goals.
But Pavard wants to change country (like his best friend Hernandez) and wants to play centre back.
Benjamin Pavard now has three serious options: Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus. Decision possible next week. FC Barcelona is no longer in the running. The Catalans lack the money. FC Bayern wants at least 30 million euros.
Feel like we're only going to go for him it we sell a defender. I hope we don't lose out on him to someone like City.
We haven't even sold someone like Bailly or am i out of the loop?
Yeah sadly Maguire drags his feet a few more weeks and City get the deal done like that
Yeah, that's my point. We clearly want to sell some defenders and we'd happily replace some of them that were here last season. Until we resolve any of their futures, we won't be able to get someone like Pavard. City may be able to act sooner.
It's not just Maguire though, think there's a few we'd happily sell.
Yeah and we are lumbered due to the fact that Judge issued contracts with sky high wages
Your post was just a bit of an epiphany for me. i initially thought about how we will struggle to sell Maguire but then the image of Bailly crept in.
Hopefully we can offload Bailly and Telles to a Saudi club
How I wish that was possible
It's crazy how much City are making from their youngsters. Helps when they are on low wages and play for the best team in the country but still, £15m for a kid I've never heard, nearly 20m for a keeper I've only just realised existed this summer.
Yeah the key thing there is low wages
Maguire is weirdly quite down the list of defenders to sell. We've got Telles, Williams, and Bailly to sell first!Your post was just a bit of an epiphany for me. i initially thought about how we will struggle to sell Maguire but then the image of Bailly crept in.
There is zero chance that we are interested in Pavard.
Pavard wants to play as CB in the future and there is no chance that he would replace Varane or Martinez.

Did you also believe this about Kim Min Jae then?
I wouldn`t say there is no chance. Varane will most certainly be out for a few months this coming season as well. We need options and competition at cb.
He’d literally kill 2 birds with one stone to become our permanent RB and rotate with Varane but does he only want to play in CB permanently?
Maguire and AWB out with £20m spare

I suspect City will swap him for walker
Yeah was thinking this! He’ll get minutes at both RB and CB, and eventually can move into CB when we’re ready to move on or phase Varane out. It’s not like he’s guaranteed more minutes at CB at city, with their options…albeit he probably has a higher chance of winning.
Nothing crazy about it. They have a dodgy link with Southampton
Eric Bailly is still here, feck me.
Yep this is what I wanted Timber for personally. Would accept Pavard though for sure.
I always start from a position of someone else will get the player I like before we do. So that anything to the contrary is a bonus. Makes life more simple.
Pavard has showed good performances at RB in the last years but he hasn't played many matches at CB and when he has played there then his performances were weak.
Pavard wants to leave Bayern Munich because he only wants to play as CB in the future.
Kim is only a CB and would challenge much more Varane & Martinez.
We must hope Varane's body will recover now better without his national team matches.
Great news that Disasi is going to Chelsea, hopefully we will go for Pavard to replace Maguire if he can be moved on. Pavard gives us a lot more versatility and I loved how he used his passing ability when he played at centre half at Stuttgart.
Only good news IF we go for this guy
Feeling wise, I'd think he'd rather go to City if he was to move. Also not sure, if he wouldn't be too pricey for us. Would prefer more of a Frimpong kind of player. Somebody, who really can add firepower to the right side. Shaw is good but he isn't exactly a dynamic monster and lets not start about the attacking output from the available right-backs right now.
Yeah him and Walker swapping looks nailed on
This would be the best option
This is turning into a fun summer
We love a French player don’t we
I'm neutral on this one. Haven't closely watched any of our CB targets to form an opinion. At least this guy would be experienced and, I'm assuming, could be trusted enough to partner Martinez if/when Varane picks up an injury.
