Why would you want to play TFM out of position in a role he's terrible at? It's pretty clear from the limited amount of time he's had at RB that he does not understand the positioning and off the ball movement that full backs need to provide with the wider forwards cutting inside.

Think it was a different scenario. The club probably thought Griezmann wouldn't give a feck about Atleti's ban, which most players wouldn't have. He was just an exception to the rule unfortunately
Some shocking finishing there. He'd feel right at home.
Valencia does need a rest every now and then to avoid burnout.
Also how good is he on the left? It might be a short term option, but if he is ok to play there, then it might offer Martial the overlap he needs.

Sounds good. Its a hell of a price they are going to pay for Neymar, so I guess someone got to leave to make balance. If they see him as a second now, it may make some sense.
It's probably all a load of agent-generated nonsense.
If he does join, where will it leave Valencia?

Whilst those slide tackles look good I've always thought of the regular use of them as a sure sign of poor situational awareness in a defender.
When you're sliding into a tackle you're either doing so as a last ditch attempt, or you are trying to go in with a bit more force. Aurier looks like he does both which I think is going to get him in trouble when facing some premier league opposition.
Having said that he looks athletic and confident driving with the ball. Admittedly I know very little of his actual career and can't really pass a well informed judgement but those slides concern me somewhat.

All of which happened after they signed for us.
Think Lukaku will do him justice!
As first choice right back.
He'll be 32 in 4 days, now seems as good as time as any to find his replacement. We don't want another Carrick situation where we are literally squeezing every last inch out of him before we actually sign a replacement. It's better to get someone in now and phase Valencia out slowly, he'll still be very useful for us over the coming seasons but will lose his place eventually
I'd be happy with this signing... Valencia's 32 and Aurier is a like for like replacement and he's two-footed, which is a plus to me.
Hearing he's like Valencia which is a good thing. He's on the cheap and he's young with room to improve. Sounds like a logical signing on paper and if he can stay out of trouble a good one overall.
His hearing to see if his travel ban is lifted is next week
From what I heard he's quite the opposite.
Is this actually happening?
Yeah.. He's predominately right but does use his left more than what Valencia does from what I've seen from him.
Can't see it myself.
Think the hearing could go in his favour. He has money and I'm sure his team will work out a deal whereby the guy will be acquitted of charges. If the policeman he assaulted retracts his complaint surely the whole thing will go away?
I can't think what could possibly go wrong by trying to bribe a police officer.
Jose plays with one offensive fullback and one defensive fullback. It seems like the right side is going to be offensive one. If Valencia is tired or injured there would be minimum disruption if this guy was a ready-made replacement. The left side would have Darmian or Blind sitting.
Yeah, I threadmarked it all here: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/serge-aurier.423764/page-16#post-21263279
He elbowed a peeler and got a custodial sentence.
I hardly think they're going to acquit him.
This isn't happening.

Surely if we're makimg an aproach, which we clearly are, there must be some confidence we can get him a work permit?

This keeps getting branded about as fact, it's not. Shaw himself said he wants both fullbacks to attack, just not at the same time to avoid giving the opposition too much space behind to counter attack.
When Valencia and Shaw or Valencia and young play together they both get forward, it's just Darmian who really doesn't cause tbf, he's quite wank at it.
Of course there's exceptions, like in big games etc. but generally speaking, he expects both fullbacks to get forward.

That's what i'm thinking as well but then I remember Griezmann
Serge Aurier follows ParisUnited the twitter account that broke the story about us agreeing personal terms with the player.
It would seem he only followed them recently. They're his last follow.
out of our deals this summer, this is the one i'd be the happiest about
bench mostly, with the odd start and cup competitions run outs
aurier is better than valencia
edit - sorry for the double post
Follows Martial and Bailly. It's done lads.
Not sure how significant that is, but thought I'd share that with you good people on here.
recently?
Serge Aurier's departure from Paris Saint-Germain this summer has been slow to develop -- and it seems that has cost him a number of potential suitors.
Le Parisien reported on Monday that the 24-year-old right-back, who made his request for a transfer known before PSG began preseason training in the United States, is unlikely to join three top clubs to which he was once linked.
Juventus have reached their limit on international players, Manchester City moved for a pair of defenders in Kyle Walker and Danilo, and Barcelona added Nelson Semedo from Benfica.
Two clubs still interested, according to the newspaper, are Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur. They are hoping that by waiting, they may be able to secure less than the €25 million price PSG sporting director Antero Henrique has targeted in any potential deal.
One main reason for the delay, according to ESPN FC's PSG correspondent Jonathan Johnson, is because Aurier is appealing a two-month prison sentence for allegedly attacking a police officer last year.
That situation prevented Aurier from entering the UK for PSG's Champions League game against Arsenal last season, and clubs are waiting to see how the appeal is judged before making an offer.
ESPN FC PSG correspondent Jonathan Johnson's take: Aurier's exit would create space on the wage bill that will be needed as PSG attempt to finance a move for Barcelona's Neymar.
PSG still need a fourth-choice central defender and a defensive midfielder. Juan Foyth, on his way from Estudiantes, will take care of the defence. If Henrique is operating on a limited budget, which is likely, a straight swap of Aurier for Inter Milan's Joao Mario makes sense.
Joao Mario would come in as an alternative to Thiago Motta in defensive midfield, while Inter would get a potentially top-class right-back in Aurier.
One other club to watch are Manchester United, but until Aurier's disciplinary situation is cleared up in the next few weeks, none of these clubs are expected to firm up their interest.

Not a bribe per se. Out of court settlements.
Nah. One of his first follows.
