How much will he cost?
I find stats (like those listed on the prior page) relatively unconvincing when judging a player. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gibbs have comparable or "better" stats than Sagna and yet we all know Sagna is miles ahead of Gibbs (particularly defensively).
I don't think Gibbs defensive stats would be close to Sagnas.
What would put me off about those stats is trying to compare Ligue Uh to the Premier League.
I think what Mr T means is stats not measuring intangibles.
If we asked Toulouse for a straight swap between Sagna and Aurier they would probably laugh and think we were pulling their leg.
Yeah because Sagna is a free agent.
A guy on twitter saying he met Aurier yesterday (in Ivory Coast training camp, he has a picture with Aurier) and he says he has a video on him confirming he's joining Arsenal.

If true it is fantastic news. I think he will be a revelation here and has pedigree to play a starting role.
This seals it for me:

Aurier himself is now retweeting a tweet from a fan with a video of Aurier apparantly telling the fan he's coming to Arsenal.
Hopefully this one is done so we can move on to more pressing issues.
😆 not sure he understood the question, was just saying yes to anything
That's the impression I got too. Just kept saying yes
On https://twitter.com/Serge_Aurier he retweeted the video that clearly says "Serge Aurier tells an Arsenal fan that he is joining Arsenal". I don't know what to make of this
Yeah the video is not as encouraging as i thought, he seemed confused more than anything.
I'm sure he understood otherwise why would he retweet it? As far as I'm concerned this is a done deal.

Nothing done. But seems as though he would be very interested.
