Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[The Fat el Hombre]

£13.8m isn''t much

Yep. Definitely a squad player. Hopefully a handy one

This could also be intended to see if Shalke will lower their price for Sané this window.

would we not be lookng at a younger model if it was purely a squad player purchase?

But we'd have to pay more for Aubemyang than we would for Sane?

Yes, but that's also because Aubemyang's a more finished product.

If Shalke think we will move for Aubemyang they will stand to lose a lot of money selling Sané next summer for the release clause, unless they can get him to sign an improved deal, which I would not be surprised to learn of if we don't buy him this summer.

You're about two pages too late :)

Just seen it mate lol

Tbh the only way I can see him playing more games is if Sterling continues to under perform

I think what we are doing is e nsuring we have strength in depth

Whilst I think Aubameyang would be an amazing signing what worries me, if we do pull it off, is the potential of losing two key strikers for the AFCON with him a guaranteed starter for Gabon and Nacho highly likely to make the Nigerian squad too.

With Sergio's recent run of injuries could we potentially risk having no recognised strikers available??

Ps I'm going off others' comments that Nolito is more of a winger than a recognised striker which is why I haven't put him forward as cover.

thought this deal was dead ten days back. As dead as the Kroos deal. Can't work it out. Nothing's dead, nothing's alive. We're in zombieland.

Nigeria didn't qualify.

Ahhh .... Hadn't realised. Must engage brain before posting in future!

Can't you tell, there are very few that are patient, on here.

It's a fair assumption that they'd qualify to be fair. Good news for us though. I think Kelechi will have a big, big season.
