He looks good. Lot to be said for tremendous pace and power these days

Prefer him to Calum Chambers?

lorddulaarsenal

Nope I'd rather Chambers. He looks more comfortable on the ball and is taller and has good strengh without having to rely on an unreal leap

English too

Kel Varnsen

Strong rumours now. Think we'll sign him. Not sure what I think about that.

Only thing with Chambers is he doesn't look that quick. Pace counts for so much in the fullback position.

Aurier was voted 3rd best player in France behind James Rodriguez and Zlatan.

Good enough?

As far as I can see, he wasn't even nominated and Marco Veratti won the young player award?

Disappointing, you had me convinced he's quality. That sort of recognition is hard to argue with.

goon

He was in the team of the year and nominated for young player of the year.

Rex

Nah. He won young player of the year, was in the team of the year, and was third in player of the year.
That was off French Football Weekly's readers though... 🙂

Is @AgentJim reliable? Says bid accepted for Aurier. Take with a pinch of salt.

Klaus

He wasn't nominated for the best player in France by UNFP, which was the most surprising claim. Didn't win young player of the year either.

Are there even any decent rightbacks in Ligue 1? There can't be much competition. In the last couple of years stars such as Rod Fanni, Anthony Réveillère, Mathieu Debuchy and Christophe Jallet have been included the team of the season. None of them hold a candle to Sagna.

Klaus

These are the official awards for what it's worth:

Ligue 1 Player of the Year

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain)

Goalkeeper of the Year

Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain)

Young Player of the Year

Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain)

Coach of the Year

René Girard (LOSC Lille)

Ligue 1 Team of the Year

Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain); Serge Aurier (Toulouse), Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain), Loïc Perrin (Saint-Etienne), Layvin Kurzawa (Monaco); Marco Verratti, Thiago Motta (both Paris Saint-Germain), James Rodríguez (Monaco); Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon), Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani (both Paris Saint-Germain)

Saw that, but couldn't find which players were runners up and third in each category. That would have been more interesting.

Klaus

I don't think they reveal that. I've never seen it listed anywhere. There are a number of players who would likely hold more votes than Aurier though, such as Rodríguez and Lacazette.

Rex

Not according to France Football Weekly!

Klaus

Hmm. Good point. Can't argue with their selection because I haven't seen most of the players they list, but it differs in many ways from the official one.

Nela

From some of the talk in here it sounds like he would even be an improvement on Sagna? Can he really be that good?

How reliable is he in the air? Apparantly he's rather short.

JazzG

In attack they say he will be better but not in defence.

Looks beastly in the air from those YouTube compilations. Not the tallest but possesses a godly leap much like Sagna.

innervisionscm

He looks pretty poor. Very nervous about our fullback situation. Nothing we could do to match a £150k/week contract but we need to sign a better replacement.

Divine

hmmm.

Bold Tone

I do not know of any other option now that Sagna is gone and i feel Jenks isn't ready yet. Based solely on yt videos, this guy looks like a robustly built player and that is a good start. If we get him, i hope he plays strong and not like Andre Santos!
