A lot of people criticise his crossing, I think it's okay but not spectacular. My issue with Aurier is the constant mistakes, or attempting to win freekicks just outside our box. A defensively solid right back that offers nothing going forward would be a huge upgrade on him, let alone someone who offers more. Happily sell him and KWP and bring in a good right back with Tanganga as his back up (his best position in my eyes).
If we let both Serge and KWP go, we need to have our bumps felt!
Why? One has barely played and the other is a walking disaster. Jose’s history would suggest he’d much rather play the quick and strong Tanganga at RB than the small and timid KWP.
True. Doubt we keep KWP. Tanganga won't cut it at RB though. Pretty limited on the ball in that position.
We’re gonna be playing direct football next year so it doesn’t matter so much. All about not conceding and those quick counters.
It means we’ve got someone else lined up
Please take him, Paolo, you beautiful Italian man
Blinkin' hope so
If someone actually pays us for him it will be a miracle.
You're probably right, but I still think KWP wasn't given a fair crack of the whip by either Poch or Jose - a loan spell should have been sorted out much earlier in his career.
He was also one of the classiest players everI'm agreeing with the fact that Paolo is a beautiful Italian man
Totally agree, my favourite non-Spurs player, gutted I never got the chance to see him play live. Most women would want jewellery/handbags/expensive perfume for their 40th birthday - I asked for and got an authenticated signed photo of Paolo.
Tramezanni?
Don't worry , l will send you a photo of yours truly , in the Klondike, in full lumber jack gear.
Beats anything especially the coonskin cap ( raccoon hat).
Those Latins/Hellenes ain't got nothing on us up territory in breed grizzly mountain boys.
Being linked with Celik at lille as his replacement. £18m, which you'd think we could get for Serge.
No idea if he is any good at all though.

What Jose Mourinho can do if he agrees to sell Serge Aurier this summer
The Tottenham Hotspur boss has a decision to make with his Ivorian right-back this summer as AC Milan are set come calling again

The 27-year-old Ivory Coast captain asked to leave Tottenham last summer but a mooted move to AC Milan never materialised. Now Milan director Paolo Maldini has strongly suggested that the Italian club are looking to sign the right-back one again and admitted to trying last year. An unlikely £12.5million fee has been reported.
An option to fill one of the right-back spots is to fully convert Tanganga into a right-back. When he has played at right-back, he's looked comfortable with the defending and hasn't shied away from bombing forward when called upon. Mourinho could decide to use Tanganga as a dependable back-up to a new signing and he wouldn't be the first player the Portuguese has used who can play at both right-back and in the centre.
Mourinho, when he first came in, said that Sissoko's best position was out on the right rather than in the centre of the pitch. His work-rate and ability to cover others could mark him out as a contender for the position if needed, but it's not ideal.
Jubril Okedina, 19, had been stepping up for the U23s this season, playing regularly at right-back in Premier League 2. Mourinho might take a look at him during pre-season.
There are also high hopes for 17-year-old Dermi Lusala. The England youth international is naturally a right-back but has played at left-back and at centre-back this season for the U18s. He has also played for the U19s in the UEFA Youth League but Jose might feel it's too soon for Lusala.
