Is he good?

He’d sign as a free transfer which certainly fits our budget

Is he good?

Compared to Aurier I'd say better defensively but no as good going forward. I do however think Aurier was one of our best players before the season got derailed and that he'd cut out a load of the crazy shit.

He's slow and PSG fans slate him, the only benefit would be that he's better than Aurier and he's free - I'd rather Aarons.

I think he's better defensively but the big plus for me would be that we could use Sessegnon as a more progressive LB with Meunier in the team.

Not too concerned about how good he is or isn't going forward we have other players for that, first and foremost this team needs to learn how to defend, a club with top four aspirations with lower premier League defence not good enough.

Don't need slow. One of the issues Aurier has is he's not quick enough.

 

[DanielJohnCosta]

he'd be the second-best RB we have signed from PSG

 

[Cinemattis]

Certainly not one for the future: 29 this September.

Do we want the player that couldn´t put Aurier firmly on the bench as Aurier´s replacement? 80 odd matches over 4 seasons isn´t exactly staggering numbers...

Meunier is not a Aurier replacement he is a KWP replacement.

Mourinho wants 1 attacking and 1 defending full back on each side. We have that on the left but not in the right meaning we have had to be lopsided as Aurier is always playing and can't defend.

Is Meunier better for us than KWP? Probably.
