Bitten us in the arse with Costa now though. 

Hardly. We won two titles with Costa. Having players with a bit of an attitude is not always a bad thing.

There is a difference though. albeit an ass, Costa was at least a player who would fight for the team and put his body on the line. I doubt Aurier has shown the same. He is just a misbehaving kid. Talented player for sure. But taking him is a huge risk. Conte obviously prefers to work with humble characters, controversial ones can easily disrupt the harmony in the squad and make us target for media bullshit again. So the due diligence is essential here.

Good player but I dont think Conte like him.

You are referencing two incidents. One where he was on periscope and the other where he believed he was being racially profiled. There are no instances that have come up where he was considered a guy who wouldn't fight for his team. As a matter of fact if you watch him play you'd think just the opposite.

Every transfer carries risk, this is no different.

great that we bid! the only reason he's being sold is that he had a fallout with previous manager where he publicly dissed him. Apart from that, he's a very good player. I'm fairly sure he won't dare try this type of stuff with Conte... would definitely be an upgrade on moses

The source is dubious at best.

Maybe who actually knows lol

I really know nothing of the guy, this is the first i've heard of him.

We are split 50/50 on wether we want him or don't.

From someone who know nothing, but if he is a decent player but volatile as some say, then get him, he won't get to fuck with Don Toni.

He might just be the RWB we need, just my opinion of course.

Options for RWB are starting to get more and more limited after each passing day and this guy is a pretty good player. Either way, I want him to stay as far away from the club as possible.

No need for any more toxic personalities at the team after just getting rid of Costa. At the moment chances are he wouldn't even get a work permit in the UK, although that might change following his court hearing next week.

Would be amazing signing, for that price even more.
