Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[Feed-The-Goat]

St Etienne head coach Christophe Galtier admits he is prepared to lose star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

Aubameyang is under contract until 2016 for the Ligue 1 side and, despite an agreement with the player's dad and agent Pierre Aubame, the 16-goal forward looks to be on his way out of the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.

The Gabon international has reportedly been watched by a number of Premier League scouts in recent months with Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham all thought to be interested in him.

Galtier said: "We had a moral agreement with Aubameyang, his father and advisers, but there won't be any surprise. We all know what will happen.

"We gave him our thumbs up for him to leave, but also to stay with us next season if there is a Champions League adventure."

St Etienne are currently sitting in fourth spot, two points behind third-placed Marseille and four behind Lyon in second with nine games remaining.

It seems he's off but where?

Newcastle, he is in the French league afterall.

 

[Tevez City]

He can be a good addititon for the 3rd/4th striker role.

So he has to cost at least 25 million and have at least a rating of 85 on Fifa?

I take your point but we do need a cavani or falcao type qualilty striker to go with serg.If we are looking at 4th choice that is different but i suppose that will be john.The difference between us coming 2nd again or champions is going to have to be someone special,if he cost a fortune so be it.

I think the difference between the teams is more than RVP.

IMO, Ferguson is the difference.

According to this we are in talks to sign him.

 

[bapi]

Would fit well in 4-3-3.

Intresting, he's very fast and a good finisher but is he better than Dzeko?

Would he be the one we'd sign to replace Dzeko?

I would have thought it would be:

Tevez replacement - Jovetic/Aubameyang (crafty, creative forward)
Dzeko replacement - Falcao/Cavani (goal scorer)
Balotelli replacement - Guidetti

Aguero, Falcao/Cavani, Jovetic/Aubameyang, Guidetti? Plenty of variety but still wondering how Aguero would fit in if we played a 4-3-3 after signing Cavani or Falcao. Right side?
