Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Knowing (or not knowing, really) Pep, he could come out with absolutely anything on the first game of the season.

Unless Pep changes Kun's position and Kun plays well where he's moved to, this would be such a terrible signing for us.

Aubameyang is a poor footballer but for his finishing.

Aubameyang wouldn't work out wide. He's not going to dribble past a couple players, cutting inside and curling a shot in the top corner. Not saying he hasn't done it before, but his technique sucks and it's not his game.

Aubameyang would be a terrible signing for us ? I think you should take up another game...as for 'poor footballer but for his finishing ' stop it , my sides are aching.

Look at when he.got Henry from Arsenal. Henry never played out wide, but at Barca he did fine on the wing . In Pep we trust

Henry was a winger at juventus before he went to arsenal

Aubameyang was a winger (LW) for Saint-Étienne before he joined Dortmund iirc.

There seems to be a lot of parallels between his development and Henry's.

Are we signing martial?

Doubt Guardiola would employ a 4-4-2 or something similar. If we do sign this guy, either him or Kun would probably be shipped to left wing, much like Villa & Henry.

I was thinking more a 3 5 2 set up with wing backs. However with the right signings the permutations are endless.

Wing or wide forward?

Wide forward, role-wise. I'm just pointing out the general position.

I'm under the impression that 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 was always Guardiola's 'ideal' set-up but it's always been an unfamiliar tactic for teams to get used to. I actually think he will start with 4-3-3 to familiarize the team with his philosophies and style before slowly ushering in 3 at the back.

Sorry I just put a winger in a 442 in my mind whereas I think 433 for wide forwards.

I'd never think of Bale or Neymar as being wingers per se.

Yeah. Very good shout. I agree.
