That story is believable. Reus is an Arsene fave, and fits that number 10 type he likes to fill the squad with. Pity it didn't happen.
Moving on, my madness is simple. Given that Real Madrid are banned from signing players until at least January 2018, we should go hard after Aubameyang. He's not getting any younger and can't wait around for Real Madrid, especially if both Benzema and Morata flourish. 60m pounds. Ship out Oxcott.
