Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[The Fat el Hombre]

I remember when their twitter account commented on the Gundogan rumours..

Think they actually used the word 'bullshit' didn't they!

Fortunately, his first or second touch is a goal.

As opposed to Bony's which is a tackle.

Who gives a rat's ass?

Personally, I think Pep will convert him as a direct running wide attacker, same as Bale. We will see Sterling then switch to the right-hand side, so he's less dependent on having to stop and come inside and pass the proverbial buck.

Much more direct, a three who can also be slipped in on goal, courtesy of KDB or Silva.

More Real Madrid than Barcelona-esque, which is ironic.

OK TH but where does all this leave Kelechi in the grand scheme of things?

Any chance he's turned out at left back before?

Not sure he ever became the top scorer, but he was at least close to it.

Yeah he was. He joined us half way thru the season, but he was top the 09-10 with 22 goals.he was player of the season 08-09 when he scored 26 goals but I believe was 2 behind his teammate Grafitte who got 28. Then won it himself the next year with 22.

Let me take a stab at this :)

Default
Starters: Auba.....Kun.... Sterling:
Backups: Kelechi, Navas

Situation and Solution:
Kun out for normal league game (say Stoke or even West Ham)
= Auba...Kelechi... Sterling
Same Scenario but against United or Juve
= DeBryune.... Auba.....Sterling


Situation
Normal game
Auba misses a game:
Sterling.... Kun.....Navas: Kelechi 1st bench option of
Big game
Silva....Kun...Sterling: Kelechi Same as above


Situation
Sterling misses a game:
Normal game
Auba...Kun....Navas: Kelechi first off bench for attack
Big game:
Auba... Kun...DeBryune (Silva at 10): Kelechi first off bench.

While Auba will improve our scoring, I don't think his role will change if Kun goes down. I think Kelechi is Kuns backup. Auba will interchange with whoever the starting striker is from his left wide position. But I sense that will be his primary position regardless of what happens centrally.

Nothing really. Seems everyone is denying everything.

It still leaves him as our main striker on the bench, which he can't really complain atbout at his age!
