He is yes, and I think he's a good player but also fear there may very well be a situation where myself, and many others, have somewhat built him up in our heads to be a 'right-footed Roberto Carlos', for one reason or another, and this may not mirror reality.

I certainly wouldn't frown upon his acquisition however were it a fee beyond £10-15million I would fear another costly & unsuccessful venture into the right-back market - I've been hurt too many times before to really trust anybody these days.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

IMO Aarons has been both over-hyped and over-valued these past couple of years or so. I can't see us paying out the kid of money Norwich will expect to receive. Instead, I see whatever transfer funds we have being spent on midfield players and another ball-playing CB. Clyne/Ward will be asked to fill the RB position until we see whether or not Ferguson will ever be fit enough an strong enough to play.

Agreed though I think Clyne will make the RB spot his own now he seems to have recovered from the cruciate injury . He really is a top player that we would be mad not to tie up for a couple of years at least .

I agree. The point I was trying to make was that between them we have the RB position covered for another year and as Wardy has shown he can do a reasonable job at LB if needed.

However, in an ideal world, where funds aren't an issue, we would be going for a young RB this window. It's just that I don't see it as a priority for this window.

The one downside of Clyne is that he is visibly uncomfortable on the ball under pressure. Not worried at all when he plays, but an upgrade is possible.

I'm not sure Aarons is it though. He's played a lot of games for his age at a decent level but he spends every other season being allowed to attack at will (which makes him look great), and the following season as part of a defence that gets absolutely battered. I can only possibly understand a £20m valuation in the context of AWB being £50m, but I think most would say United vastly overpaid there.

We've bought well in the last year, £20m is more than Guehi, Andersen, Olise, Eze.... I don't see Aarons being worth it.
