Just did some digging into the stats, and Aubameyang has a higher rate of forward passes than Suarez and Aguero

can't believe some of people here are saying NO to Aubameyang...This guy is a top scorer in germany for every year

Lacazette was a top scorer in France every year.

They'd probably rather raid Southampton for Charlie Austin. He's proven in the Premier League.

He's not even top 10. Stop. There is a reason he's still at BVB and his only offers are China and apparently disfunctional-ass Arsenal despite him begging to get out year on year.
Dembele got his big move, Pulisic will get his soon enough, but PEA will be stuck at BVB scoring tap ins unless someone gets desperate.
Don't get what people are up in arms about the Walcott comparisons as they have a similar skill set and will have similar struggles at AFC, yes PEA is better, but that isn't saying much since we're talking about Theo ****ing Walcott.

I had something: His mental state. It wasnt a joke.

In 2016 he was in the top 10: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...est-footballers-in-the-world-2016-interactive
If this happens, I think it's confirmed that Wenger doesn't rate Lacazette. And that's fine by me if he is proactive enough to do something about it, like buying Aubameyang. I'm just surprised he would be so ruthless, if this is indeed on the cards.

We wouldn't miss Alexis too much tbf, that's a very nice front line. Iwobi on the left in a 4-2-3-1 would be solid too imo, if he gets his act together.Özil - Malcom

During his last year in Ligue 1 PEA was a top scorer in aswell. So he has proven himself in two of the best leagues in Europe.

We may not even get him, thats important to remember.
Yeah, I've gotten sucked in a bit too much now, even if the BILD link is significant.

Salah is a pace merchant as well, is he much better technically than Auba?
Why do people hate Aubameyang so much? The guy has scored ****loads of goals in Dortmund.
Only issue is maybe thats because their style suits him, but the same can be said about every striker

That so interesting also kicker saying auba turned down China money and he forcing himself out of Dortmund and will join European club

You posted a link that had him higher than Kane, Cavani and Costa not now, but back in 2016.
Okay.Football moves fast and despite what the guardian thought back in 2016, nobody went in for him (again despite himself wanting out) he's still at BVB and the 3 players listed above (plus others) have moved above him. PEA isn't a elite CF...I thought this was common knowledge, why is this hard to accept?

Salah's dribbling is on another planet compared to Auba. His ability on the ball in general is much superior. Obviously Salah also benefits from Klopp's system, but still.
Of course, any discussion of his potential poor fit and weaknesses is immediately labeled as hate.
I've been a fan of Auba for a long time, but I was advocating for you to sign him several years ago where he'd maybe be able to adapt and have time to gel etc. If you get him in now, it's immediate success or being stuck with an extremely overpaid has-been pace merchant. Considering you already have a striker known for his runs in behind and it's not clicking at Arsenal, it's completely fair to be more than worried when you're being linked to a striker whose entire career has based around exactly that.
As I said earlier, goals aren't scored in a vacuum. The setup is incredibly important and Auba is a player who feeds off of space and counter attacks. You generally offer neither space nor quick counter attacks, except when you play against Barca inexplicably.

This signing makes more sense if the fat Armenian from United are coming too, instant link-up play from Dortmund and all that.
