Ex-Spurs Player Serge Aurier

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Good footballer or not, everything I've read about this dude suggests he is a massive bell-end. Given what appears to be great team morale under Poch (up until Rose went rogue) it seems like a hell of a gamble.
 
I think Aurier will be a good signing, he is like Rose in that he is tough and fearless. I'm not sure Walker had that to the same degree as Rose and Trippier lacks that a little. That is Davies biggest weakness in my view. I think the way we play it is an essential characteristic in our fullbacks, so Aurier would greatly improve us.
 
the legend of kyle walker makes me chuckle. this chap is a significant step up. also, he's no balotelli in the cunt stakes. he'll be fine.
 
Poch on Aurier

"That is rumour. We cannot confirm nothing until something happens. There are many, many players like always in the media. But you know I can confirm nothing. I never speak about rumour. Always my full respect always to other clubs or players that are in maybe in negotiations with us or other clubs."
 
always thought Walker is fearless and always stands up for himself. Liked that trait in him..

I agree Walker stands up for himself, and he has fearlessness, but what I said is what I meant: Walker is not as fearless as Rose. Fearlessness is a spectrum in my view, not a binary trait. That's where I think Rose gives us something Walker couldn't quite match and which I think Aurier will. Maybe, as Totti says it is also about aggression.

Walker is passionate but comes across as petty at times or a bit childish in all honesty.

Whereas Rose is pretty much game from the moment the whistle goes, runs with the ball so aggressively and powerfully. Walker doesn't.

still feel rose is impetuous with it though. Could definitely channel the aggression better.
