Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

I think you're missing the fact that we still have a budget. Money isn't no object to us.
We do but it will be more of a concern about salary than about transfer fees, I suspect that is where we will manage more tightly so if he doesn't want ridiculous wages it will be ok budget wise
 
I am not convinced that he is worth 65million.
To be honest with the new prem money 65m today is about 40m last season - just the reality of things.

We should be getting business done quickly , don't want to be leaving deals till after Brexit an put vote and short term run on the pound could make deals 10% + more expensive for non uk players . Though I suppose it could work both ways and we could hedge
 
If Watford are turning down £20M for Troy Deeney and Lyon are turning down deals left and right for Lacazette, it's no shock that Auba is £65M.

Depends. A likely on vote will see the pound strengthen over night.

I also suspect not all of our cash in the sterling.

For a start we get paid our CL money in Euros so I'd imagine we keep a euro cash balance to hedge with transfer funds.

Good point on Euro's reserve I would wager we have a lot either on forward rates as we are actually probably paying lots of euro instalments- I suspect we have a fair bit of treasury sophistication too.
