Tottenham might have signed Davinson Sanchez in this transfer window but that has not been enough to mask our deficiencies. We were caught out once again in the 1-1 draw against Burnley thanks to a late goal and major questions are being asked of not only the players but also the management.
There still has not been a breakthrough in the signings of Ross Barkley, who was set to join us early on in the window. Serge Aurier is another player who is expected to join us from Paris Saint-Germain but even that move seems to have hit troubled waters.
Aurier was not given a visa to play against Arsenal last season due to an assault case in Paris and it does seem a little weird that we want to sign him up. There is no doubting his quality but his temperament has always been in question, especially when he blasted the PSG management during a session on the social network.
Nevertheless, without any other senior right-back apart from Kieran Trippier, there is a need to bring quality into the side. Kyle Walker-Peters did do a pretty good job but with the Champions League and domestic cups coming up, we cannot rely on the pair alone.
Twitter was lit up with a number of fans sharing their opinion of Aurier being our next signing and here are some of the best responses from the site.
For @UKHomeOffice to grant @Serge_Aurier a UK work visa. https://t.co/0X2QwZrCgZ

I really don’t understand why #Aurier‘s transfer depends on him getting a credit card! #visa

Spurs have to get Aurier done. Only available RB that’s not a downgrade on Walker

we should sign Aurier, Barkley and Foyth, but we’ll end up with Nyom, Morrison and Foyth

The Serge Aurier saga is the most Spursy transfer in history. A protracted and hopeful dance, destined to end in misery. #thfc #coys

Aurier has Frenchmen, Hugo to ease him in. Its the fans who should make @wembleystadium theirs! They do so players will be inspired. #COYS

How Spursy if we manage to fight all his legal battles and get aurier into the country only for him to go Man U ♂️ #coys

Paul Davies……Sissoko is French how did Hugo ease him in?We were warned about Adebeyor and ignored it lets not do it again.
I am beginning to dislike many so called Fans, I prefer to support rather than constantly slag off…I trust the board and I trust the coaching staff to bring in the right players IF available at the right money.
100% agree. We are fans and supporters, Levy and Poch are the guys that work for THFC supported by legal teams. I’d like to think between them they know what they are doing more than us supporters / fans.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here, within reason I couldn’t give a stuff what Aurier has been up to previously. If he’s good enough for spurs then he’s good enough for me. He doesn’t sound much like a particularly nice n jolly fellow but if he can help us become PL champs then he’s way good enough for me. See Cantana Woodgate Bowyer Maradona Adams Costa Keane Terry Di Canio just name but a few who have disgraced themselves on or off the pitch.
