May have been posted in this mega- thread that grows ten pages in an hour, apologies if so.

Serge Aurier released outright by Spurs by mutual agreement. Down to the fourth option on the depth chart at RB so they just shook hands and walked away.


He's 28. Not going to get any better. Won't have resale value unless he jumpstarts his career somewhere. Gifted player but prone to the occasional catastrophe resulting in goal, which is a movie we have seen often of course.

The Koemanesque thing to do would be to sign such a player for three years on a massive wage.

The Rafaesqe thing to do would be to see if we can get him in on a one-year deal, on decent wages, with upside if he can establish himself as the successor to Coleman for the next 2-3 years.

He will get his share of attention, in the rumor mill if not in actuality. Very quickly saw Roma and Real Betis as other potential suitors. He'd have to decide whether to get the starting job at a smaller club or in a lesser league, or compete for time in a bigger situation.

Wonder if he'd be interested in joining his fellow Ivorian JPG here.

If the money wasn't outrageous - and remember there's no transfer fee - I'd definitely make a run at him.
This would be rafaesque as in the guy who has just given a 32 year old striker who has been semiretired in China for 2 years a 2 year contract, with the option of a further year on a reported salary of 100k per week and an undisclosed signing on fee. Sounds pretty Koemanesque to me.
 
Yes.

I didn't say he was as good as Coleman. I watched him a fair bit last year and liked what I saw though. I don't think he's going to tear the league apart or anything, but for £2.5m (!!!) it would surely have been a smart acquisition? When I saw he'd gone to Burnley I assumed it would have been for £7-8m, something in that range.

25, definitely a big improvement on Kenny and would have been able to be rotated with Coleman with the plan then being to go and get another right-back when Coleman's time is fully up?

It wouldn't have been ideal, but we're talking relative pittance there and not big wages either

If he's not as good as Coleman why on Earth would we want to buy him. We need to sign someone that's better than him not a stronger backup to him.
 


he's dreadful

never rated him at PSG

A liability defensively and a complete nutjob. There's a reason Spurs terminated his deal.

Also I was at that Bayern game when they got thrashed and I almost felt sorry for Aurier, he was that bad. And I think he actually scored in that one! :D

It says a lot Toff when Levy is willing to let someone go for nothing.
 
Are you thick? I used the word SOLELY in there.
No you are clearly thick, what other factors would get us to this situation, stop using soundbites and explain why else we are in this position, we have not sold enough accessories in the club shop?

Absolute wham chatter, chatting wham for wham chatting sake.
