Good player, but a massive cnut.
We have a good group with great chemistry, no need to put a rotten apple in our barrel.

He can't be that bad. Jose would have done his homework. He has Bailly to ask. Has Ibra to ask, someone who apparently cussed. So if Jose is still after him, he can't be that bad.
Good point
Buy him now for £25m
Bribe the judge for £3m
EZ game.

More or less what looks was thinking. Give the copper a fat envelope, to say "he not a bad lad & he should be given another chance ".
We will take him off your hands back to Manchester, the change of scenery will do him good don't worry.
Hate to ask but does anyone know how the trail going? 
The trail has gone coldHate to ask but does anyone know how the trail going?
Its not even scheduled yet. Its sometime later this month.Hate to ask but does anyone know how the trail going?
Loose cannon, but at the quoted price and his ability, I feel it's worth a punt.
They were the ones that confirmed his trial was on the 7th in the first place. Not sure if these lot are to be taken too seriously.
With TFM loaned out. Tony V looking as one sided as ever. Darmian our backup and 1. LB, despite being useless with the ball and in attack.... We definitively should try to get him.
He is class... as a player. Don't care how he behave or his values as long as he can perform and strengthen our team.

Just in terms of how likely it is to get turned into a chance on the first touch.
There is no need to bribe anybody.
Jail is only for people who dont know how to work the system in their favour and of course serious criminals. Although it amounts to the same thing. You usually dont pay off anybody, more lubricate the system.
If he was to say donate €500K to this guys local football club and do a months workshop with the local kids his next free summer and pay a fine. I suppose a maximum fine is about 10K for assult and pay 100K in personal compensation to the copper and enter a 12 month good behaviour bond. He'd walk and be hailed as a shinging light, for when you do something wrong you try and put it right, by the system who were trying to lock him up in the first place.
My numbers may be a little high in fact because it cant look like you bought your freedom and as i say it amounts to the same thing. But if you can afford the defence usually you can appeal your way of a misdemeanour like this by baying for it on other ways.
plus is he really just trying to claear it up for the upcoming season. Nobody has any new info on this. If it were true their would be more anout it before now.
If TFM is off then we must be pretty confident on this one.
Already got fecked by the courts once this summer...
I came across this piece written a few years ago about Serge Aurier....
"He’s been described as the Dani Alves of Ligue 1, named in the 2013/14 Ligue 1 team of the season and made the final shortlist for best young player in France. Unquestionably one of the best young defenders in Europe today, Serge Aurier is the jewel in the crown at Toulouse and a defensive rock around which Ivory Coast will look to build, not only at this summer’s World Cup but for many years to come.
He started out at as a defensive right-back under Alain Casanova, but his sprinter’s physique helped contribute to a change in the manager’s tactical outlook.
Toulouse switched to a 3-5-2 this season and Aurier has featured both as a right-sided centre-back in the three-man defence and as a wing-back. His career trajectory continued to rocket and he was made vice-captain, while at international level a tug-of-war played out between France and Ivory Coast for his services.
Six goals made him Toulouse’s third top scorer last season. Throw six assists into the mixer (making him Ligue 1’s joint seventh most creative player) and you have one of the most decisive defenders in Europe’s top five leagues not only defensively but in the attacking third too. Not bad for a right-back.
Physically, Aurier is a supreme athlete. A hulking slab of Ivorian steel, few players match his physical attributes. The 21-year-old was nicknamed the bison at Lens and marries immovable strength on the ball with the stamina, athleticism and lung power to charge up and down the field.
Strong in the air, a danger from set-pieces and fearsome in the tackle, Aurier is a fine defender. Positionally Aurier is also encouragingly versatile; he can play anywhere across the defence, doing a passable job at left back when required, and having played as a midfielder at junior level you wonder if a forward-thinking, tactically innovative manager might even try and mould him into a midfielder one day"
The comment about being able to play at LB was interesting to me.

He hasn't played at LB for awhile, but he's more than capable of doing so.
Sign him and Rose. The key to the best teams in Europe is a pair of very good full backs. (See Barcelona 08-12, Madrid 14-17, Bayern 12-14).
I hope he gets the go ahead from the courts. The Bison would be a fantastic addition to the team.
Thanks for sharing..
Its a big if, but you have to imagine that if we did get this guy and managed to get Perisic our 3511 formation would start to look pretty formidable without any makeshift components.
Honestly I have defended Tony V in the past but I think his time should be coming to an end. Defensively he still isn't good and going forward he is entirely predictable, possibly starting to slow and im genuinely fed up of watching a cross that is only ever hit in a general direction - somewhere in the middle. Aurier might be nutter, but he clearly has something and he would be an improvement

Genuine question as i have never seen him play live. Did he live upto his initial potential
What's with the thread title?
Are the cops in for him too?

He can't work in the country unless he avoids a prison sentence in court this month.
Oh ffs. Cheers man.
Does anyone know when his trial is?
It's not sure that it is this month, it's not scheduled at all. Bear in mind that at the moment, a lot of judges are moved to deal with ISIS returnees.
Ah, okay. Paris United said it would be at some point this month. Aurier follows them on twitter.
The thing is that if it has not been scheduled, they don't really know.
What's the deal with this thread/rumour? He's a right back, right? If so, we're obviously not in for him.
Thanks for this post- I had heard he could play left-back somewhere, maybe not here, but the description does relate to how it appeared when I saw a few games in which he looked very much an attacking fullback with immense potential. I understand the whole drama with 'periscope' and the police but hopefully he's learned from it.
Even if he was just a right back, which he isn't, why would it be obvious we're not in for him? You'd think Valencia was 22 to the way people talk about him on here. We need cover there, just as much as we do at LB.
They did say it was going to be on the 7th.
We could do with another RB. Darmian looks like our new LB and TFM is going out on loan.
We need a LB and a Winger. Not this guy
You'd think Valencia was 22 by watching him. No sign of decline. Would Aurier, whose clearly a bit of a nutter, be happy to come here and be back-up? Would Mourinho risk the harmony he speaks so highly of by doing that? We have Darmian and Young who can play there.
Why would you want to settle for Darmian and Young who should be squad players at best.
