I am dreading Levy offering SA a new contract in the hope of bumping up his transfer value.
Dream is a French team comes in for him.
I've taken the pill with Lamela and will accept him as a bit part player until the end of his contract.
Don't think any French team (except maybe PSG which is where he came from ) could afford Aurier, so think its more likely he goes to Italy. But don't think we will get a bumper fee unless an Italian team absolutely needs a RB.
Equally if Lamela is going anywhere think Italy is most likely.
But resigned to neither moving on in summer at the earliest : and even no movement in January as we can't move players on that we can replace with better
We paid a total of 50 million quids + for the 2 of them.
The masterpiece would be to offer Aurier as part payment.......

The only guarantee is we won't get that much back.
Was it his fault?Here's Mr Aurier's appearances.Serge Aurier | Football Stats | Nottingham Forest | Age 30 | Soccer Base
Serge Aurier. (Born 24 Dec, 1992) Defender for Nottingham Forest. Current season & career stats available, including appearances, goals & transfer fees.www.soccerbase.com
Lost to Antwerp.
Again, his fault?
And a bunch of other fuck ups
Liverpool was fuck all to ado with Aurier who was very good in that game, probably our best player. His free kick against Palace was then dropped by Lloris. Stupid pen against Leicester.
Added to:
ManU (a) 6-1 (goal and assist)
ManC 2-0
Chelsea (a) 0-0
Woolwich 2-0
I'm not saying he's spnktastic, he's not, but Doherty definitely isn't an upgrade.
Some idiot. Probably sudoku blamed Aurier for the Liverpool winner because he gave away a "needless corner"
You simply shouldn't be conversing with these people.
This place and Spurs fans in particularly are so hyperbolic it's unreal. Kyle Walker was the best right back in Europe until he left us. Then he was "always has a mistake in him"
The reason Walker is remembered so fondly at Spurs was because we were winning games and we're generally very fucking good in his last season here.
Just like Aurier is a good RB and much improved when we're winning games. Or Ndombele is supremely talented when we are winning. And a lazy cunt when we lose.
I've seen Milenkovic a few times and initial thoughts are I'm pretty happy to see us linked again. Quicker than Skriniar, beast in the air, goal threat and decent on the ball. Every time I've seen him the game has been dull as dirt though, so I find it kind of hard to judge how good he really is

Yeah, Fiorentina are woeful.
Milenkovic is good though. Recommended him 2 years ago when I first saw him. Had all the tools then and he was only 20
I would rather have Doherty in the team. I think some of his criticism has been unwarranted. He’s more dangerous in attack than Aurier for example who’s crossing etc was awful against Leicester.
Sabitzer and
For the life of me I can't understand why we haven't moved to that formation. Or why everyone on this forum was so dismissive when I called for it.
It means we sacrifice Sissoko for another CB. Sissoko's tackling is quite good, and is still quite athletic, but imho he's not playing at the level he was 2 seasons ago. Firstly he doesn't do those dribble bursts forwards as often. Secondly he's slightly more prone to making defensive errors.
I think 3 CBs feeding it into Hojbjerg, who then has the option of Gio and Ndombele, will mean we retain more control of the game. Wingbacks would have to work very hard to create the width and get up and down. Give them some of the red bull that Trent and Robertson drink.
Doherty would do so much better in 3-5-2.

Where was you when they lost four in a row?
Or you mean us losing two in row means our window was shit and season is over, but for them it’s ok because they bounced back a bit?
But there’s no way we can ever recover.....
There is NOTHING more Spursy than a Spurs fan.
Everton are the perennial one division yo-yo club, who will fly around between 2nd and 17th any given season.
But one thing they absolutely won’t do is finish top 4 or win anything.
Let’s see how well that ages.
Some of you cunts had the same pissy little moans when we were top that you have when we are 6th so what’s the fucking difference?
Oooooooh Everton have a whole one more point than us, I wish I was them
Ive posted before that we've had a decent window. Just that your assumption that Everton had a bad window and we had a great one based on some early results was premature.
Also wishing for 1 more point isnt bad. We'd be 3rd instead of 6th.
Which goes to show how the table can be very different in just two weeks so why people are balling their eyes out because we hit a bad patch is beyond me.
EVERYONE has had a bad patch
This is true. People were overreacting when we had a good patch, and now after just one terrible week.
There are some inherent problems though that were apparent throughout. Firstly whoever plays RW isn't scoring goals, so we're too reliant on Son and Kane. Secondly Sissoko isn't technically good enough to give us control in midfield as part of 2CDMs.
Now a Sabizer, Milenkovic January move would be a statement of real intent. It would also so be a sign Levy was tied to a chair in a basement with Hitchen trying to chew through the ropes.
Yup everyone has good and bad patches. When were were 1st that wasnt because we were much better than other teams and we are 6th-8th now and its not because we are much worse than them. Everyone is really close to each other in quality except Liverpool maybe.
