Obvs Sacramento would know all about him, so if they think he can do a job for us and Serge gets to go and find happiness elsewhere, I'm all for it.

It's good we are seeing links to RB's, like Celik, but I really hope we start getting linked with some LB's. Davies is a decent back up, but I really think we should upgrade both of our 1st choice FB's.

We have Cirkin and Sessegnon to work with, unless we are going to sell them I think going for a LB is not really a priority.

If Aurier wants to move on, as suggested in ITK, I'm fine with that. I'd rather lose him than Foyth and Celik looks a decent replacement. Onwards and upwards.

I was quite impressed when I saw him against Chelsea he has good qualities is strong and he seems to enjoy getting stuck in . Could be a good signing

no but then Matt Law is a journalist

Very loose use of the word journalist. He’s basically Neil Ashton without the red banner at the top of his articles.

That’s not correct about Matt Law, who’s shown before that he has good contacts within the club (including pre Poch dismissal).

Good on you for standing up for little Matthew.

Hope you’ve kept well in these tough times Mrs Law.

Christ that's shocking. He's clearly one of our weak links but I didn't think his stats would look that bad.
I'm no fan of Aurier but these charts aren't a particularly fair comparison since they all compare vs league average. For example, Dumfries is roughly league average (in the Eredivisie) for interceptions blocks and clearances (5.4) but Aurier is way below league average (PL) at 6.6, despite the stat being higher in absolute terms. Same with several of the stats. Taken to its extreme, Dumfries being the best RB in the Eredivisie and Aurier being the worst RB in the PL wouldn't necessarily mean that Dumfries is better than Aurier (though he probably is)

Ok that's good to know, but still shocking that Aurier is well below the league average in practically every area.

Seems fairly obvious he's our top target at RB. Matt Law, Fabrizio Romano both reporting, along with others I believe.

Wouldn't mind Aurier & Foyth out, with Aarons & Celik in.

Is both Aarons and Celik a likliehood or or possibility ?
Probably not, but with both of those outgoing it should be. Seems weird we'd rather buy a fourth CB and shoehorn Tanganga as a RB rather than just buy a backup RB.

Tanganga has more chance playing as a RB and I think he played more in this positions for us than as a centerback

Just depends on where we see his long term spot. If he's a CB, with Europa league he should get plenty of opportunities. If he's a RB then thats fine. Just seems odd to buy Kim to push a Tanganga to play RB instead of just buy another RB.

Seems over complicated but what do I know.

I think he will be secondary RB. We need to keep him happy and he won't start often at CB. He wouldn't sign a new contract without being sure he would get plenty minutes and with Mourinho really liking Dier it looks like there will be more room at RB or LB. He might play at CB in Europa and cups (plus injuries).

Nah he's all guesswork and mostly passing off other people's info as his own
