Knowing our luck City will just bid for Aubameyang if they can't get Sanchez.

Aubameyang would be called a donkey useless etc after couple of months or weeks playing in this team. Dortmund have form for making attacking players look better than they are plus on the ball he's more limited than Lacazette

Or their attacking players look better cos they were playing with Aubameyang :boris:

No I'm pretty sure I'm right. Loads of players left Dortmund and haven't looked half as good as they did there, Lewandowski is the only exception.

Agree with Jones. Mentioned the same last week. They have an attacking system that generally works very well for their attackers. Which makes me generally wary of their attacking midfielders. Strikers I am less concerned by because I think it is easier to transfer the finishing aspect of their game. But their AMs like Gotze, Mkhitaryan, Kagawa etc., have not had fun on their travels

They're all AMs though. Lewandowski and Aubameyang are strikers. Its a short term move if it happens but one thats worth it. He's better than Morata, Lukaku, Lacazette, etc and we need someone to score goals with Alexis leaving.

Lacazette haven't been making great runs lately, but earlier when he did we still didn't get the ball to him. I saw someone say "Aubameyang will finish the chances we aren't creating for Lacazette" and I think that's probably right. If we Malcom can help with our chance creation then great, but if we only sign Aubameyang I don't know how much it will help.

Lucas Barrios wasn't an AM, complete journeyman of a player and scored 20 goals in consecutive seasons which almost earned him a 20m move to Chelsea back around 2010.

No offence but I don't understand why we're having this discussion, it's blatantly obvious that their system favours the striker even Aubameyang would agree. They have creativity all over the pitch, their left back Guerreiro would probably start at AM for us currently. What they need is a striker to get on the end of the countless chances they create, the prime reason why Aubameyang has scored more than even Lewandowski despite the latter being the clearly better player

I think Auba + Malcom + Ozil would instantly help us play a proper counter-attacking system, especially with the 3 ATB. We just don't have the speed in the current frontline to do that, except for Alexis. That in itself can make us a better team. Of course, it needs to be coached, which Wenger can't do, but feels to me like he will be off in the summer.

If we are going to become a counter attacking team this is the guy to get (but that begs the question why the likes of Xhaka are at the club). If we are playing the way we are playing he is not, although I would take anyone with a bit of quality at this point.

Auba is fantastic striker, make no doubt about that. I have no idea if he can flourish here because our team is absolutely terrible, but on paper a 352 with Ozil behind Auba and Laca is good.

He can play along the front 3 and played wide when Lewandowski was there in his first season at Dortmund.

Ideal replacement for Alexis as both can play in all 3 positions.

A convenient way to rile up Arsenal fans, because it's so believable that I actually believe it. Just stay out of it, Arsene.

if us signing auba forces wenger to throw a tantrum and quit, then i am 100% on board with signing auba

Every single one of these silly stories is absolute bullshit.
