Everyone's shit.......?
Gotcha.
[Waits for "There's a dearth of good FBs".... ]
We should play without one then, innit.
Especially when we require a DM, potentially a CB, a backup RB and a FWD. if we are lucky enough to get £100m net to pump into the club this summer, there's 2-3 areas I'd be investing in before we consider an alternative to Serge

Well, fine, but you’re wrong.
I’d take that Ajax right back over serge any day, or Dortmund’s
Errors leading to a goal in the league.
Trippier (2018/19) - 2
Aurier (2019/20) - 0
From the official Premier League website.
Though I'd maybe put 1 in the Aurier list for the goal Willian scored against us as Aurier was slow getting out to him and then let him cut inside. However, I'd have to check all of the goals we conceded last season as well because I feel Trippier had a hand in many we conceded regarding his positioning etc that don't count as direct errors.

ok all our players are always brilliant, which is why we win the league every year
so I can’t remember his name? Who cares?
Piszczek is a 2-time league winner at a perennial challenger in the German league.... i.e. "Cheating".
Mazraoui: The step up from Dutch league is a bit iffy. Bit like buying a FB from France (ring any bells?).... Sounds a bit risky to me.

.....Eh?
Dortmunds right back also belongs to Real Madrid
People that matter.
I assume you mean Mazraoui, who isn't anywhere near an upgrade on Aurier.
Of course you could mean their 19 year old American right back Dest? Who is probably not even on Aarons' level.
Aaaaahhhh, on a gap year then.
Hence it being unrealistic.
If he isn't starting games at Madrid next season, it'll be because Dortmund will sign him permanently. Hakimi is excellent.
Aarons and Aurier is fine, with Tanganga as another strong option. I will be satisfied if those are our RB options next summer.

Piszczek should be the kind of player we’re after, could get too pricey though so maybe I’ll concede that.
well if we can’t shop at the top table, we’ll have to take risks, we don’t have to stick with the outcome if iffy though!
anyway everyone seems so thoroughly convinced of aurier’s sudden improvement that I'll have to have a look again with fresh eyes.
Pretty much this.
We aren't upgrading on Aurier directly. Not without spending close to £40,000,000+ and considering there are about 4 different positions that need upgrading over his, signing Aarons to compete with him would be the smartest choice.
RB - Aurier, Aarons, Tanganga, Foyth
LB - Davies, Sessegnon, Tanganga, Cirkin
If Foyth & Cirkin stay, I'd take that depth all day long. The most exiciting thing about it is we are only 1 signing away from actually having that at our disposal and he looks like he's playing for a team bound for relegation as things stand.
Aarons has age on his side, can mature at the club and if he doesn't cut it as a first team starter week in, week out we will get near on our money back on him.
Low risk, high reward type of signing I love to see us test the waters with.
