Serge Aurier

[doctor stefan Freud]

And Son. That went from no-one hearing about it to him holding up the shirt in the space of about 48 hours.

Need some of that deal making efficiency right now

 

[daryl hannah]

Is there a reason why you left out the likes of Sanchez, Wanyama, Sissoko? Oh wait, that's because that would prove that you're wrong.

Sanchez - I've been impressed with the turnaround time.
Wanyama - Exception to the general theme last year.
Sissoko - Panic Buy

You would have to admit there are far many more 'sagas' than there are straight forward transfers, aren't there...

True that - although he had been identified previously as one of the magnificent 7 that didn't make it to us in 2013.

As is the case with every club.

Same for every club, just look at the sagas this year. Also it's only a saga once the media know...I am pretty sure the Sanchez talks would have been months but only came out at that time.

I personally think that article is overkill (and I generally love CFC's work), but that's just the point isn't it? We each have our own limit as to what we expect our of the players on our favorite teams. Some people are able to completely separate the personal aspect from the on field performance, and some are not. Neither is right. It is what it is.

I'll take him on my team.

If he had said what he said on social media about Poch instead of Blanc would you still want him on the team?

Until it happens on my team I consider it a moot point. My guess is he hasn't done it with every single coach he's ever had.

You bring a guy in with the hope that your support system can handle him. If they can't then you move on.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Let's not act like we have the same gaggle of garbage we used to. BAE, Adebayor, Kaboul and Lennon all had very questionable personalities. We don't really have that anymore. We've seen players mature under Poch and Aurier is young enough that the same could happen with him. We've also seen how Poch gets players to "buy in" and if Aurier does that, I see him really reaping the benefits in terms of earning the adoration of Poch.

I will never (ever) condone the language Aurier used during that video. It's gross and there is no place in this world for shit like that. But, I'd be lying if I don't have close friends who have used that same language in the past but I still would be seen with them in public. People can make mistakes, horrible ones. But, it's up to that person to make the change once they're called out on it or understand the error of their ways. If he can't do that, then he should be put to pasture. If he can, then he should have the ability to rehabilitate his image and hopefully be a positive story on how people can change as opposed to another cautionary tale.

saying that there's an agreement but waiting for 'visa' for him to play in pl (he wasn't aloud in the uk last time psg played chavs in cl) but lawyers are optimistic. still, psg coach likes the player and wouldn't mind keeping him as he can play rb and cb.

THBN says: Serge Aurier has a medical booked in for later this week ahead of finalising a move to Spurs, assuming all the legal paperwork arrives in time. PSG appealed against his prison sentence and a decision has been made that hasn't been made public. The fact that we are finalising a move suggests he won't be going to jail for hitting a policeman, but until the paperwork arrives we can't spend millions on him and his wages.

 

[rossdapep]

It amazes me ho much trouble we appear to have getting transfers done and over the line. I'm not saying other clubs don't experience it - just seems that ALL of our targets have complications, every year.

Mussachio - saga
Moutinho - saga
Schneiderlin - saga
etc.

Lopez - saga
Nkoudou - saga
Janssen - saga
etc.

Aurier - becoming a saga
Sessegnon - becoming a saga
Barkley - saga
etc. etc.

Steady on, now. We only got ITK that our interest was real in the last week!

Every transfer feels like a saga when you are reading hourly updates. Maybe you don't notice the others because you're not invested in it. Lukaku was linked with a summer move to Man Utd from about March onwards.

 

[SUIYHA]

I wonder how many of our fans on their high horse now joined in with the chants that were directed at Campbell or even Freddy Ljungberg / Graeme Le Saux. And Braga's keeper who came to the Lane for that UEFA Cup game - if you were there you'll remember.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

You'd have to wonder if this has already been raised with Aurier through his management. There is a strong culture running through our first team squad currently, and we have had info in the past that we scout personality just as heavily as footballing ability. On that basis you'd had to assume that he has been sounded out about his past misdemeanours, and has come up with a convincing reason as to how/why he's changed, in order for us to continue this pursuit.

The calibre of player we go for means it's never going to be straightforward to deal with because 90% of the time the selling club probably are reluctant to sell as they want to keep their best players. Hardly a massive surprise we have to negotiate somewhat

Strangely enough it also becomes a saga when we sell our better players too

Walker - saga
Bale- saga
Modric - saga
Berbatov - saga
Keane - saga

 

[ROBinBKK]

I'd be amazed if this happened given he agreed a 90k package with Man U less then 10 days ago - according to a whole host of outlets.

The conviction hearing has taken place but no news confirming he's good to play in a foreign country....fishy.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't sprouted off stupid comments in my younger days that I'm ashamed of now. I would like to think I have changed. Dunno if this guy is the same but willing to give him the chance.

 

[Hotspurious]

I'm kind of in the middle here. What he's said and done is pretty horrific as a person but he is a youngster and perhaps he deserves a second chance. But I would also be very disappointed if the club disregarded these character issues and only cared about his ability. So....if the club has spoken to him and honestly and rationally believes that he can leave this behavior behind him then I would support giving him another chance.

Whats all this bollocks of a second chance. Tenth chance is more like it. There have been too many mistakes/disrespectful acts by this piece of shit to ever be allowed to wear the Tottenham shirt. He has shown too many times that he is not willing to change and he shows no remorse...even when he is forced to apologise. He will poison the club. If we sign him we will regret it for a long time. Let united have him please Daniel.

Nah that was @Archibald&Crooks

Easy to mix them up though given their rap sheets.
