Darmian plays on the left for us, so i dont see how Aurier is an option if he leaves. Aurier is a pure RB/RWB, just like Valencia

I don't believe we have any interest in him at all.
If we bring him in, then we need to find a nice loan for Mensah/Tuanzebe.
Do it! Great value for 20M.
Very good player from what I've seen but he has an attitude doesn't he? Not that Mourinho can't cope but still
I want this player at OT real bad...
Great talent and player but we need to get him some sort of counselling and make it clear we won't take any bullshit like beating up police and starting fights in clubs.
He's still young enough to fix things and get things on the right track at 24.

I remember Aurier used to play as a LB and a CB for Toulouse.
Would be a totally unnecessary signing. The effort should be on CM and out wide.
Either Darmian is a goner or Mou is thinking of buying him, return Valencia to RW, move Mkhitaryan as LW and not buying Perisic at all
I don't rate Darmian in the slightest so I feel almost anyone in the top leagues is an upgrade however this guy is a **** and he's average.
Yeah, thats a few years ago. I wouldnt want to rely on him playing LB now or CB as a 1,76m guy in the PL. Best to utilise the players in postions they are the strongest in, Aurier being a very good RB, and not experiment around and outsmarting yourself.
How is it unnecessary? Valencia is our only useful option in that position at the moment. Darmian's a non-factor in attack and Young's injured right now. Would you prefer we wait until Valencia inevitably declines then panick looking for a replacement (not many good, available RBs around anyway) and get fleeced in the process?
Same.. would completely transform us.
If we got him and Mendy we could be the best 352 side in the game.
Great player imo and I would like him. However, we would end up losing half our defense to the AFCON due to Bailly and himself.
Mendy is to 99% at City, so best to not think about him.
Aurier isn't a pure RB/RWB, he is a right back/center back. Aurier isn't really good in the last third, he can barely cross. he is a sort of Ivanovic.
He wouldnt play for us as a CB though, thats the point. The only position we could use him is at RB. I dont think a Jose RB needs to be a good crosser, he needs to be fit and running up and down.
Surprised by that analysis.. always admired his attacking thrust
Id take him and his attitude all day over that useless Darmian.
Talented lad, lot of baggage though but at that price, worth the risk
His crossing is one of his best attributes. If you think Aurier can't cross, I wonder what you think about Valencia? He's better than Valencia going forward imo. His stamina is questionable though.
I'd rather we concentrated on the areas which actually need investment, rather than buying a player to provide extra cover for a position which worked well for us last season.
He isn't playing for us, so I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about that part. What I do know is that he is used as CB and RB and he can't cross or beat a man when he isn't launched in acres of space which is why Meunier took his place and never gave it back.
He has the same crossing abilities than a young Sagna and his best attribute is that he is very good at defending.
I think you are right and the club is doing that. Mourinho was clear about wanting two more players just a couple of days ago. We've been chasing Perisic and multiple midfielders all summer. This is just media nonsense, maybe coming from PSG or Aurier's own camp to try and get him a move now he's down to 3rd choice RB there.
There was a tweet saying this wasn't a priority to be fair.
Yes please, class player.
Thing is, I don't see Aurier being any worse of a LB than Darmian due to his physicality and pace and on form is as good of a RB as Valencia. Given the fee quoted (around £17-22m), we could probably sell Darmian for a similar fee and still improve the squad.
He is good
He said that Ibrahimovic is gay as well

I'm sure trying to get Aurier wouldn't steal time from the other transfers.. Woodward doesn't do everything alone
Yep, can't see where this link has come from at all.
Good option as RB, RWB and RCB. Good cover at 3 positions for 20 mil ? Yep, ta.
I'm so confused.
This transfer window hurts my head
His attitude is bollocks. We shouldn't be going for this lad.
I can't see him getting a work permit. He's not really been linked to anywhere else though bar possibly Juventus (he doesn't even have a thread on Juventuz forum) and he's definitely going to be leaving PSG this summer so who knows...
Even with a back four we'd be awesome.
At 20-25m I'll definitely take him. Very cheap option and only 24. His price will hardly affect our market.
I don't want to go through the painful experience after Scholes retired when Valencia form starts to drop.
