Serge Aurier

Loyal until the first big money offer you get is not loyalty.

if somebody wants to double your salary, has better career opportunities and new and upgraded challenges, would you not want to change job as well? Walker fulfilled his obligations to Tottenham and did not let his contract run down to go on a free like certain money grabbers. Neither did he moan for a move after a couple of years at the club.

Walker spent 8 years at Tottenham. For a footballer these days, this is loyalty.

His "tackle" tonight reminded me of Son's "tackle" on Moses vs Cheatski... you could see it happening for 2 seconds prior to the contact... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Agreed. I think Aurier must have been the only person involved or watching that thought the outcome would be any different to a penalty. I'd absolutely love to know what he was thinking.

Love the guy, I really do. He seems great for our team spirit and is a real character. But my GHod, that was just...ugh.

Son will never be forgiven by GGers for that tackle despite never having any pretensions as a LWB. If anyone was to blame it was Poch.

Doubt Davies will get quite the same treatment somehow.

No, I wouldn't work for gauche oil money - not even for double my salary.

I also couldn't work for people who don't eat bacon - you can't trust people who don't eat bacon.
 
I don't feel safe with him in our back line. Trippier offers something going forward and has got better defensively, there isn't a single thing that Aurier does better and quite frankly he petrifies me.

Aurier doesn't use the ball well, gets caught out of position and goes to ground too early. This isn't the first time he's given away poor fouls in this manner, yet here we are, months down the line and he hasn't learned a thing it seems.

I would prefer Dier to play RCB sometimes in a three with Toby and Verts - with Dembele and Wanyama ahead of them. Then Aurier or Trippier would have limited defensive duties and could concentrate on attacking more.

Walker was loyal to the club for 8 years. He earned the right to move on for the right offer.


Aurier needs to learn where he can do these last ditch tackles, and the answer is not inside the box.

And he never went on strike or shouted his mouth off to the press. His transfer couldn't really have been handled any better, that goes for the club and for Walker. I wish more players acted as professionally when an impending move is on the cards.

Oh yeah of course you wouldn’t:D Anyway, regardless of whether you would or wouldn’t, Walker has been a loyal servant and chose a different challenge for where he’s practically guaranteed silverware - good luck to him...

We can't describer ourselves as CL regulars, but after the 2015/16 season Walker must have thought to himself great, we've qualified and I get to play against the best of the best from Europe. Then we have a crucial group stage game away to Monaco where a defeat knocks us out of the competition and he plays Trippier instead of me? After the years of service he had given us that must have been disappointing.

So you'd be happy to leave out one of Son or Lamela?

I'd simply replace Aurier with Trippier, job done.
 
I’m sorry, but I hate him. Sounds like a prick of a person, and plays like a macaron. And doesn’t even seem particularly quick or good in the final third.

I’d get behind him if it wasn’t for his behaviour off the pitch making it hard to like him...
 
As I said in the match thread.

I think he needs to play every week or his game goes off.

Best we’ve seen him play is when he has had a run of games.

But at the moment he’s another reason not to buy from the French league

Don't think that one game would have been the catalyst for the move thought I think that point has been overstated. More likely that his agent was whispering sweet nothings in his ear about Guardiola's project and double your money. Like you said I don't bear Walker, Rose, Modric or Bale any ill will for wanting to move. Only clambell for the way he did it and who he moved too.
 
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear! Another shocker for him, I don’t know how you teach football intelligence but Poch and co have their work cut out with this one.

On the plus side he did persuade Lucas to come here and I liked the 5 minute cameo I saw last night from his mate.
