Serge Aurier

[Ossie85]

Wtf.

Could also fit the French hotel ITK.

Poch is desperate to reform some characters.

He's not french though. He's from Ivory Coast. I think that ITK mentioned a french player

 

[arunspurs]

Surprising that we agreed terms, provided its true.
If he can get work permit/visa, we should take him.

If club & Poch can tolerate what Rose said , they could tolerate Aurier. Also any contract from us would have disciplinary clauses

 

[thefierycamel]

On one hand he is an incredible RB but on the other he is a pretty shit human being.

Exact hotel ITK quote - "Not sure if he meant French nationality or based in France"

So, could be.

 

[jolegend]

Sorry guys, what itk was that? Cant find it.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Only reason why we could potentially get him is because he's an absolute shitbag. He's a really good player who works hard on the pitch and is only 24 years old. From a football standpoint, he would make us an absolute force in terms of our Starting XI. I just worry about how his behavior could impact a side that is so dedicated to youth.

I just heard Mark Langdon on talksport say that we're in pole position?! And it'll probably happen

 

[Saoirse]

Really not sure what to think on this. On one hand he's an incredible footballer and would offer a huge threat going forward down the right. And I genuinely belive Poch could work on his unpleasant side - we're already seeing Dele's short fuse turn into a positive and the squad seem to genuinely love and respect his management. But how gutting would this be for KWP, and what message would it send to the rest of the academy? He's done everything right and could lose his chance to a delinquent arsehole out of France. Really glad I don't have to make this decision and I trust Poch either way.

 

[arunspurs]

How incidents are we talking about this guy ?
2 , isnt it ?
a) Social media rant after drinking
b) Convicted for elbowing Police (which he denies) after a early morning stop to take breath test ?

Very rarely is talksport right about anything. Joey Barton on Barkley seems to have gotten some ITK backing. This one still seems farfetched. It is no secret Aurier wants out of PSG. I just can't see Poch bringing him in unless he has personally spoke with him.

My money is this is his agent trying to force someone to jump and make a move.

Yeah, he's been heavily linked to Inter recently and those talks seem to have stalled. Wouldn't be surprised if this is to give them a kick up the backside.

Mark Landon does not work for Talksport. He is a well known European expert, who is literally a football addict, watches almost every game. He works for Racing Post. His views on transfers in European circuit is usually spot on.

 

[chinaman]

Poch places so much emphasis on character that it is really doubtful he wants him.

 

[arunspurs]

We could have agreed terms, but it could also be Levy's decoy ploy to lower fee for another target

I'm sure KWP will get more chances this season in the cups. He's still very young and inexperienced at this level. And maybe after his Newcastle performance can get a good loan deal for him somewhere to gain more experience and develop

Am I wrong in remembering Aurier to be a huge Arse fan?

 

[heelspurs]

No doubting his ability and he is perfectly suited full back to how we play. But it would be a huge risk. He wouldn't start many many games and he's not the type of person in my opinion who would be ok with that.

He's very used to rotation as he has always rotated while at PSG. Only played 19 league games last year as they have Muenier also. Now they have Alves as well.

Who doesn't love a huge ARSE

Don't want him at the club. Liability and homophobic
