Could be to utilise a back 3.
I agree with the logic.
But a back 3 means one less of our AMs - Sonny, Moura, Lamela, Dele - makes it onto the field.
With 3 CBs, 2 WBs and a holding C/DM (Dier or Wanyama), and assuming Eriksen and Kane are always in the team when fit, then there are only 2 outfield places left.
And that's before we (hypothetically) sign another attacking player - eg Martial/Zaha - and another CM eg Kovacic.
Plus the latest ITK suggests Dembele may be staying, and there are no offers for Toby.
Personally see our ‘interest ‘ as a smoke & mirrors exercise to ripple across the footballing world so we can grab Pavard or a n otherthis link makes me cringe no way is this a deal we could close imo
Give it a restThis is only getting worse. Harry fucking Maguire.
Give it a rest
If it wasn't for that world cup, would we be wanting him? In all honesty I would rather keep Toby if Poch forgave him.
Or get Pavard
Probably interested as the link was in the press earlier in the season (see Pavard thread). But to your bigger point and response to the @ parj we have pre-established interest in Maguire also.If it wasn’t for that World Cup, would we be wanting Pavard...?
