But on the continent the referees are even less tolerant with hard tackles so if he doesn't get booked or sent off regularly in France, I am sure he'll be fine over here

Oh please. No one is saying that because they think Poch has perfect judgment. They are saying it because he has a hell of a lot more information than anyone on this board about the player and his current state of mind, plus his results have been good enough to have earned some faith in his own targets. Everyone else saying "Aurier will be totally fine" or "he'll always be a wanker" are literally guessing based on next to nothing.
This. Not saying hes right all the time, but he would have talked to the player and people that know him (especially at PSG), so if he believes it'll be fine there will be a reason he believes that. He could be wrong, but he sure is in a better position to judge than us lot.

Regarding your last line: no, it doesn't make it pointless. As his appeal is settled (word is it was heard in court on Aug 7) his situation may change. It's obviously worth watching.
Blanc and team mates was same video so not a repeat
Who knows about the true police assault because if you are from an ethnic minority you learn that policemen are not all fair in their approach to black people especially. prejudice by those in authority and power is much worse in France than it is in the uk and it is bad enough here!!
I am sure there are people in this forum who call refs much worse than "son of a bitch"
He seems like he needs some maturity and Poch and Levy will need to make a judgement on that after speaking to him..
I agree. There was a recent case where a few french policemen forced their way into the house of a Chinese man and shot him to death right in front of his young children. His offence was making noise after returning home drunk and did not response to the police knocking.

Not only that, wasn't there a very informative post on here earlier talking about how its a completely different process for a travel visa (which he was rejected for before) and a footballer work visa (which is given at the request of the FA with apparently very little review)?

Didn't see that but you may be right.

Aurier in 216 games (17,848 minutes) has received a total of 42 cards in his career with 2 sendings-off, 1 being straight red. I guess I don't need to tell you that this is a pretty nice record for a player with his level of 'aggressivity'. Hopefully that mollifies any further on-field disciplinary concerns you might have.

Very smiley dude in all his insta posts, always seems to be joking about a lot which I like. Hopefully he has learnt from his mistakes. Oftentimes we forget that footballers are people too, I believe someone said most of the incidents occurred over a short period of time so it is possible he was just experiencing a really tough period in his life. As a footballer though he's an absolute beast, he also looks like his disciplinary problems are very much off field and separable. I haven't seen any reports of bust ups with team mates in training and Emery seems to have wanted to keep him at PSG after being there for a period of time, he wouldn't want to keep him around if he was too disruptive to the team.

If Bielsa thought 14 year old Poch had a footballers legs- I wonder what he would think of Aurier's

With that raw material to work with Poch would make him the best right back in the PL. He's magic with fullbacks you know!

If he's going to behave then he'd be a very good signing, I'm all for giving KWP the responsibility from now but we'd basically be upgrading Walker with his 24 year old self, just as fast with more crossing ability.

We sign this guy I would be amazed he's a prick yes, but he's hell of a footballer could make us title challengers

Yeah, I don't mind if he's bit of a 'bad' boy - we're not buying a Sunday School teacher - just as long as he's a team player and can get on with the rest of the boys and buy into Poch's collective mentality.

He didn't sign him here. Poch says 'we' put a lot of effort into judging personalities and work ethic, and I'd imagine that is not an inaccurate translation.
Yes looks a risk but I'm happy to give our transfer team the benefit of the doubt here. Have we signed a player under Poch who has been a nightmare? I'd say even Sissoko has worked hard but has just lacked quality.

Do you think if we get him we will loan him back to Fulham this season?
