Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

est

We already have one Welbeck. :hmm:

lorddulaarsenal

Hmmm I can see the appeal but I'd rather a more rounded player.

There's a complete dearth of top strikers

I'd be tempted to give Theo a crack and get someone like Isco or Gotze

BWoolley

No way should we sign someone who is going to be off for three months every two years as a key player in his position, unless he is absolutely world class - which Aubameyang is surely not. Waste of time and space.

Spyro

Whilst he would be an upgrade on what we have, he isn't the world class striker we need. Sign him this summer and we'd all be crying out for a world class striker next summer as well. £30m is a huge fee for him as well.

I don't think he's even that. Better than Welbeck but around the same level as Giroud.

Qwiss

And for the reported £30+m this is worse business than Liveprool buying Benteke. If true of course.

Ricky1985

No, just no. This won't happen.

Mirth

Would complete go against Wenger's 'focus on quality rather than quantity' spiel. Like Qs says, it would be a very Liverpool move.

Kel Varnsen

He's worse than Welbeck. Would be a waste of money.

while i think it would be a waste, here are counterpoints:

physically he is suited for the league. hes like 6'2, hes agile, and he has blistering pace
he can play LW, RW, and ST. that gives us options
he scored 26 in 46 last season after scoring 16 in 46 the year before

but yea thats about it. this seems dumb

Qwiss

"he can play LW, RW, and ST. that gives us options" I'm starting to see that as not really a good thing any more.

mdgoonah41

true. but, lets say wenger wants to play walcott at ST. that means its...ox at RW? maybe ramsey if he persists with that experiment? or, say he wants to play alexis at ST. who plays LW?

id rather we sign benzema or reus, obviously. and this rumor doesnt make a lot of sense

Klaus

I think I'd rather have Aubameyang than Giroud, but there isn't much between them. If we're willing to spend £30 million on him then Wenger thinks he's going to turn into a big player though.

Ray

This would be as silly as Liverpool spending 32.5m on Benteke.

Rorz

Would fit with what that Muzzi chap said about a player that some may deem world class and others would deem average.

Who thinks Aubameyang is world class?

Another who broadly fits the rumor parameters. Also very realistic.
Sad. It would suck if we got him and United pulled one of Benzema, Lewandowski or Cavani.

Kel Varnsen

I'd rather sign no one than Aubameyang. Horrible player.
