It struck me as weird too how people turned their noses up at Aubameyang this summer given our squad options. Dortmund on their part just laughed off the rumours about a £30 million bid. I doubt they would have done that if they thought he was a poor player. 17 goals in 15 appearances this season seems to have proven them right.
I was one of them, who thinks he won't offer much more than what Walcott does. Of course Walcott has done well this year, but I have watched a fair bit of Dortmund under Tuchel and PEA has looked really great. He's an upgraded version of Walcott to be honest, stronger in the air and more assured in his finishing. Totally wrong about him.
Most Arsenal fans laughed at the links with PEA and Douglas Costa because they preferred a finishing article, but the fact is in our current position we need to take more risks and sign more promising players.
