Any idea who this guy is? @JamieStinton... he's claiming we've ended our pursuit of Aurier due to establishing that the court hearing would be later than deadline day...


Have to hope we have an alternative lined up then. The French courts are probably dragging their feet over the necessary paperwork, although you'd think they'd want to get rid.

If the sentence is appealed then he can apply for a visa and will likely get it. If his appeal is turned down then as a non EU citizen he will likely not be granted a visa

I also think the appeal has been successful (based on opinion only as I don't think we would be doing medicals etc otherwise) but I can't see a visa being granted straight away, especially with it being bank holiday

Seems that to me that the original visa rejection was a bit heavy-handed considering it was a suspended sentence and also 'convertible' to a fine and community service.

If he converted the sentence to the community service/fine there would be no grounds to reject his visa application, as far as I understand it.

Prison is not really the issue - a VISA to enter England is the problem.

Apparently the stumbling block is trying to get Mary Berry to make a cake with a file in it (just in case it's needed).

The problem I have with Aurier - is that I have never believed he is serious about coming here. He has been whored all around Europe, and by reports has agreed to a deal with at least one other team - Manchester United. So, this feels like his agent doing his best to create options - but I don't feel confident that Spurs are at the top of his list...(though we may offer the best chance into the starting line-up).

If there were no legal issues he would of signed for Yanited, and we would of pursued 2 other RB's we all know about!

And when there are no legal issues what will stop him signing for United. Seems like we are wasting time chasing a kid who walked out on his club, a right back who prefers another club, while we wait on Barkley who is injured.
Are we a wealthy club ? Can we identify good players who don't have issues. One injury to Kane and we are stuffed. Comedy gold .

He must have good reason to be optimistic his work permit will be granted if he's going on TV and talking about his transfer.

I'm buzzing, for me this (along keeping hold of Rose) is the single most important transfer for us this summer.
