Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[Therapy Inc]

Looks like a winger to me.

I'm not a big fan, I remember being more impressed by the Giroud highlight videos aswell, anyone can look good on youtube but that was a bit underwhelming. Most of his goals were either on the break against poorly positioned defenders or just came from sloppy defending, it says alot about the French league more than anything, I really don't trust Ligue 1 anymore.

That's a very fair assessment, I think people need to remember in our EPL games we spend hardly any time counter-attacking. We face teams which are scared to come out and attack so we do not have much space in attack.

Players like Gervinho, Walcott thrive on running into space, their touch is not great so they are a bit useless when the space is closed and teams sit back.

PEA looks great running into space but his close control in the box isn't amazing, and I do not see much creative passing into space to help break down a packed defense. I would say his overall game is better than Walcott and Gervinho, and he has great finishing and pace though.

First priority our team needs upfront is some craft, creativity and skill in the box, we have enough headless runners and brainless dribblers and blunt players like Podolski.

Perhaps that's exactly why we're going for Jovetic.

Weak link, but I could see us in for him or Soldado if we don't get Higuain/Jovetic

 

[leo_ense]

Don't want. Soldado on the hand is a world class finisher with the quality to play for Arsenal.

I'd take either over Giroud starting

 

[Hunta]

Bild saying we want him.

Wenger was impressed with him in Dortmund's win over us last season and is preparing a 40m Euro offer. City and Chelsea also interested.

[Token Yank]

Sign him up!! Front 3 of Aubameyang/Sanchez/Theo/Ox/Welbeck with Özil providing would be devastating.

 

[GDeep™]

Bild link us to a new player every week so I'm not buying this.

 

[Livedk]

and is preparing a 40m Euro offer.

I might have believed them if they had said 20 mil euros

 

[Bigbludfire]

If this lad is supposed to take our last striker spot, I'll probably top myself.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

He not worth 40M come on now.

 

[Mitch]

Aubameyang would make for excellent signing, I agree with Ralph Honigstein that he was easily Dormund's best player this season. Klopp stated before he couldn't believe he was able to sign Aubameyang as he is such a typical Arsenal & Wenger type player that he thought he was destined to sign for us.

Aubameyang is more consistent than the much hyped Reus that everybody wants.

 

[onetowatch]

Like this guy, fast and a good finisher. But I reckon we need a pure striker more.

 

[Rex Stone]

He shot more times this year on average than Benzema, Griezmann and Lacazette yet managed to come away with less goals per game. Also he's woeful in the air compared to them as well.

 

[GDeep™]

Looks like your typical joey African striker.

 

[Calypso_Boy]

he's a good player, i would take him he has the ability to become lethal and he's good at bringing other players into play. Him reus and hummels should suffice

with giroud and ox going out.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Love this player, but don't think he is PL&CL winning material.

With Ox going out.... You post some **** ****.

 

[Refo]

PEA, Immobile, and Mkhitaryan. These guys would miss even if the entire pitch was one big net.
