Justin James from Leicester would be top of my replacements for Aurier.

Bring back Noni Madueke. The kid is going to be a star and is apparently available for just €15m this summer.
Can see him going to the Bundesliga and becoming the next Sancho.
Where have you read that? He’s contracted until 2024 and I haven’t seen anything about him having a release clause. Would be an absolute no-brainer at that price — but it seems unlikely he’ll go that cheap.
Is he really ? Scrap that idea then.He's (James Justin) 3 months into recovery from an ACL injury
Yes!
Get the fuck in!
FYPYes!
Get the fuckinout!
His statement comes the day after Auriers. What's the chances of the third Amigo, NDombele following suit?
The 3 of them seem pretty pally & weren't they also part of the squad that (seemingly) refused to travel to the last match of the season?
Sissoko is the one to go though. I’ll actually celebrate the day he goes. I’ve never been like that about any player to play for us but I just can’t stand him. Jonnie Jackson pails into insignificance compared to him!
I think he's been a good servant. He's not good enough, but not his fault he was brought in for such a huge fee. He's always done what he's been asked to, works hard for the team, never made an issue of things to the press etc. I also think there's a reason why manager after manager has played him. The fact that there's no better option isn't on him, but is damning of our chairman and our transfer dealings. I'll be happy to see him go, as it means we'll be upgrading in the midfield, but I won't be celebrating his departure on a personal level.Sissoko is the one to go though.
