This move always smacked of the hierarchy wanting him but you can imagine Poch not being overly keen.

Oh balls.

Plan B required. Pronto.

"Poch won't want to stay at PSG"

"PSG sign Wijnaldum and cancel plans to sign Aurier"

"Oh, he's definitely staying"

 

[Gassin's finest]

PSG: "we're signing Aurier"
Poch: "lol, nah"

Why must you toy with us?

£17m was a great deal for us.

I like Aurier but will be gutted if this doesn’t happen.

 

[Nerine]

Piss.

Any one else feel we just got trolled?

i feel more like we have been pegged!

That move made no sense from PSG's perspective. We'll have a tough time unloading him.

 

[slartibartfast]

Arse.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Arse.

Aurse

£17m did seem a dubiously high figure to settle on. I had him around the £12m max area.
Maybe they'll come back and offer £10m in which case I would snatch their hands off.

 

[dontcallme]

I don't really understand why they would agree a fee and then pull out. There's no info suggesting it's anything to do with the players demands.

Just seem a bit strange.
