Max Aarons

I'd like to see Foyth get more playing time. Aurier is just lurching from match to match in the midst of a massive brain cramp.

Tell Foyth to keep it simple, use passes instead of dribbles to advance the ball from his own third. He has tremendous technical skills and is still young enough that he can be a star in this league if he puts some thought into how he plays.

Aurier hit his ceiling a while back and is clearly still feeling the effects.
 
Oh, sorry. Forgot this was a Max Aarons thread.

Nimble, smart but looked a bit lightweight in the 2-2 draw. Like Foyth, needs time. Would Mourinho countenance such a process?

Have only seen him 3 times and I haven't been overly impressed, certainly not enough to part with £45m. Wan Bissaka at a similar age went for £50m and you can see he is a proper defender, still has a lot to learn going forward but defensively he knows his stuff and rarely gets beaten by the opposition player. Should have got him last summer.

If only we hadn’t sacked most of our UK based scouts to help fund the new stadium build!

We need fullbacks who can provide attacking width. I agree that Wan Bissaka looks very good defensively but his limitations going forward make him a bad fit for us and overpriced.

We've got plenty of UK scouts but a lot of them are not on the payroll full time and combine it with other jobs.

I don't know how to use the like button, like it is at most clubs.
 
I thought that Mukiele was a centre back?

£30 million isn't too bad a price for Aarons but I wonder whether there might be better value in signing either Nathan Ferguson from WBA or Jayden Bogle from Derby. Aarons is probably a year ahead of Bogle and 2 years ahead of Ferguson in his development but the upside is just as high with the other two players (IMO Bogle has the highest ceiling of the three).

If we have limited money to spend (as I think we will have for a good few windows) then I'm not sure we can be spending £30 million on new full backs.

We need two right backs over the next couple of windows, so I'd favour signing Aarons as first choice and one of the other two as an understudy.
