    I’m still not convinced he’s a CB, he would be far more suited in a CDM role for me.

    I suspect he wants away and will look to get an agent that will get him his move. Obviously just speculating and it could be the complete other way.

    Personally I wouldn't mind if he stays or goes as long as the money is right. I think he's a quality player but definitely has a price. When you look at getting Julien in for £7m, if we could get £20m for Ajer and do the same again I think that would be best for us. It would also take pressure off of us with regard to the current situation and the likes of Edouard.

    Some of his better game's this season came at right back..

    He's usually shunted to the left and even in a back 3 where he looks really uncomfortable when dragged out as the left sided centre half..

    We really need a left footed with a bit of pace out there and Jullien in the middle..

    Quite surprised we've no really seem him as a 6 or in midfield. Bit strange..

    The game he scored the winner up at Pittodrie is a prime example of this, we changed the shape and allowed him to do what he does best and venture forward. He doesn’t have enough strength or the mentality of a CB imo. There have been numerous occasions he has been left wanting at CB and we defo need another one in and I don’t mean Bitton.

    Fir Park is another..

    He's best when no restricted and has license where he can get away with bombing up and down..

    A centre back his height that gets bullied and is diabolical in the air....isn't a good fit..

    Now if it were in europe could defo see home playing deep CM with say calmac & and brown (or ntcham if brown isn't fit).
    Would give great cover and could slip into RB when they're up the pitch....much like ledley did with izzy

    Or...do you feel he didnt renew his agent due to the fact he was pimping him out to anyone he could?

    All I have really heard of Ajer is like any young player...want to play at the top and this is the best club to get him there.

    Honestly i could see him Transition into either a fullback or a CDM, he's a good dribbler and pretty quick, as you said i don't think he has the attributes to be a top tier CB.

    Ajer, Ntcham and Rogic all leaving, that would easily get us around 35 - 40 million, not to mention the wages we'd free up.

    It's definitely possible but I would say far less likely.

    I think it's more likely he's wanting a big move and he feels that agent wasn't getting it for him.

    He does have it in him. Needs a lot to work on though..

    At the very top level and how he defends right now.....he'd get badly exposed at centre half..

    * that man..

    We have to be very careful not to change too much from a side with a winning mentality. I think Ajer leaving for good money would be suffice along with guys like Hayes, Simunovic etc who aren't good enough anyway. We don't need to overhaul the squad, far from it, we need a couple of guys in the door and then keep hold of our important players. I think there will be a big sale as the currrct financial predicament will take it's toll on every team, and Ajer would be the easiest to replace in my opinion.

    Personally I think he reviewed last season and his performances and how they were affected by his agent when touting him to other clubs and turned his head

    Perhaps he is fed up of being touted around by a greedy agent?
