Houssem Aouar

[tap-in]

I still say that midfield is not enough with Partey being injured so much, and Sambi being new in EPL. Elneny is not enough, he can't play much.

I do agree but if I had to choose one it would be RB.

I'd like Aouar loan with obligation to buy under 20 million, and a RB.

Unless there are some other good cheap options we could afford in midfield + RB.

 

[Pat Rice]

The only way I get on board with Aouar is if the plan for RB is an inverted full back that can come into DM if required. If the plan is for a KT at RB I’d prefer not to sign Aouar and go for a more physical progressive carrier.

AMN

Famous for his willingness to play right back.

I think with Partey to come back and Sambi looking good, we should be alright, Xhaka & Elneny as back ups. I've wanted a RB for a long time. When the first list of positions was set up to vote on, RB wasn't even in the list. I voted other ie RB. I think its a position that really holds us back, and holds Pepe back too!

Ideall would like another midfielder replacing mo. I kinda agree with what you say though only thing is maybe AFCON if we lose Partey & Elneny though?

 

[balthazar]

why so desperate to ship out Aouar? bad egg? if it is money issues they can sell other players like Paqueta. BTW, is their Right Back, Dubois any good?

I agree. I've already said Aouar on loan & buy a RB would be the dream. If we have the money then yes buy both. If we get RB we can sell or loan AMN & Chambers. Another AM would take some pressure off Partey & Sambi, as they say, the best form of defence is attack

he wanted to leave last season and he again want to leave this season Lyon and most french club not called PSG in difficult financial situation and their dressing room starting to get affected because of it.

 

[Taxi Driver]

Question marks over his mentality, but at this price (particulary if it'd be a loan with a low option to buy), definitely worth a punt.

 

[El Duderino]

Not convinced by Aouar. He has regressed the last couple of years and I don't think he has what it takes to be an elite player. He shows up for one game and is completely transparent the next three.

So he's defo the French Ceballos?

420 pages and we have yet to make a bid.

We made bids last year?

You watch more French football than all this forum put together I think, so this tells me everything.

Doesn't really convince as he hasn't answered my question.

He rarely posts. Watches more French football than anyone here, always posts interesting stuff from Ligue 1.

I know but he disappeared, and didn't answer if this was last season mostly, or also earlier seasons. Because he was hyped last summer, and I don't remember so much complaints about his mentality back then.

I remember his mentality being questioned last summer too. Could be the player is further frustrated after not getting a move last summer.

 

[Bloodbather]

I think if we were interested in Aouar, we would have signed him by now.

He has had criticisms of not showing up to matches consistently for a while now, his entourage has been frequently called into question, and now you have accusations of him being a toxic character in the dressing room.

Big fan of his talent, but his mentality is obviously too big of a red flag for the club, which is fair enough.

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Playing in a pivot tonight for Lyon with Caqueret. For those who don't think he can play in a pivot it's worth a watch.
