Word on the street is that he had spaghetti bolognese for dinner last night.
Was he with Wanyama?

Was he with Wanyama?
That’s exactly the problem with Aurier though. At his peak he’s not bad, but he’s probably hit that in 2 games over two years. Entirely too inconsistent, and when he’s bad, he’s really bad. He got hauled off at halftime in an EPL game right before Dortmund and it was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen from a spurs player.
He is absolutely atrocious going forward to. No threat whatsoever offensively. If a cross of his stays on the field of play it’s a minor miracle.
I think we need to go the total rebuild route at RB. We made the huge mistake 2 summers ago by passing on Ricardo. Now we have to pay for it unfortunately.
Need to bite the bullet and pay for AWB.
Yeah missed out with Ricardo. Aurier gets into some decent positions I think much like rose but his delivery is just so inconsistent. Again with Ricardo able to play every week....
Still few questions about AWB for me. solid defensively but whenever I’ve seen palace seems hesitant taking on players and attacking? Price is inflated as he’s English think there’s overall better available.. wildcard but quite like than Valery from saints think he could develop into something special

I find it hard to believe Levy will let Trips go for 22 million. Im not his biggest fan but I dont think we can get someone better for that money.

£22m does feel somewhat low for an England international, but he is also 29 in September so won't have any resale value, plus foreign clubs generally pay less. It's unlikely we'd get a better replacement for that amount, but if we rustle up a few extra pennies from the back of the sofa, we could make a significant improvement to our starting 11 for a relatively modest outlay.

£22m is low?
Sorry, but that's honestly way more than I expected to get for him.
He's 29 this year and has just had one of the worst individual seasons I've seen in a very long time.

Serie A side Napoli have seemingly switched their focus from Kieran Trippier and reportedly joined the race to land a Liverpool star.
The player in question is Nathaniel Clyne, who was on loan at Bournemouth from the Reds for the second half of last season – where he made 15 appearances in all competitions down on the south coast.
And according to reports from Goal, Napoli, who are on the lookout for a new right-back, ‘have made an approach to sign’ the 28-year-old.
The report goes on to add that Liverpool rate the England international at £15million, with the Cherries keen on picking up a permanent deal and West Ham also keen.

I agree. Would he actually better than Stalteri at his peak for us? A lot of us a blinkered when it comes to how good he is. We just need pace and defensive ability at RB. Walker was our best RB in years and he couldn’t cross for toffee.

The World Cup was the worst thing that happened to Tripps. He got his recognition due to his quick and accurate delivery, smart forward passing into channels and steady enough defending. As soon as he came back with the "Bury Beckham" tag all that went out the window and he played games thinking he was peak Dani Alves. Attempting nutmegs in ridiculous areas, over-complicating his game, putting his team-mates in bad positions and now his confidence has plummeted as quickly as it shot up. There's still a tidy enough player in him though and I think a more tactical league like Serie A might suit him as he's got more technical attributes than he does physical ones. He's been truly dreadful this season however, probably our worst player, and although Sissoko has taught us not to write anyone of I think considering Trippier's age and the road he'll have to take to get back to where he was I think he needs to be sold on for the fees being talked about. Every winger we sign ends up getting converted to a 10 or a 9 so we need dynamic full-backs to provide width. Fresh blood needed this summer.

The World Cup could have been the best thing that happened for us in terms of getting money for Trippier. Should have sold him straight after that competition. Would have got a lot more money.

I think Trippier gets some over the top criticism on here, he is at his best when playing with a three at the back, he needs more freedom and he is NOT suited to a four at the back the way we play. He is not strong enough nor good enough defensively to play thay role week in week out. Perhaps he doesn't have the required fitness as well.
Very few full backs are, walker and TAA are the only two i can think of who can be both an attacking threat and defensively solid and are the level we need.
Aurier is the style of full back we need but has yet to prove that he has the consistency.
Personally I think Trippier would be perfect for the Italian game. I agree with selling him but we really need to lump some serious money on both full back positions.

Totally agree, the lack of presence down the right has hurt us this season.
Not meaning to pick out you personally but where is all this AWB stuff coming from? Everyone keeps talking about about him but I don't think I've seen a single link. Not even sure there's a thread on him is there? Think people are in for some disappointment if expect us to shell out £50m + on a RB with one good year behind him!

Agreed.
I had this sneaking feeling in summer it would have been a good idea to move him on for maximum profit and invested that money in freshening up right back.
Even for England they had to put Walker on right hand side of three man defence to cover Trippier as well.

Not only that, but why earth would we have sold a player who'd just had a decent season and then been one of the stars of the World Cup? Madness.
