Wishlist Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I have been sat staring at his name for ten minutes and still can't say it.

I just call him Pierre!

Aww-bam-e-yang is the pronunciation I'd go for. So it's probably wrong.

Imagine he signs and he is given say they number 38.......my shirt would read......HIM

38

Anyways, isn't he more of a Schürrle type player? Like a second striker? Haven't seen much of him.

SS/WF/ST

(Extremely) quick and direct, good technique, good finishing.

Oba(ma) me young

Still hope we don't sign him. He's a minimal upgrade to Marin

[Pizy 18,409]

Doesn't sound like someone we need at all. Hope we stay away.

I don' think Aubameyang is a real possibility. Emenike makes sense though.

Costa, Emenike, Tiago, F. Luis all fine with me.

Meanwhile... I'm wondering if Jose is ready to begin looking at Bertrand and vanAanholt as a LB backup.

And, every club must be watching Monaco's financial situation closely while eyeing James--surely poised to become one of the top 5 players in the world.

I really like Aubameyang (pronounced o-bam-meh-yang). If we're selling Lukaku he'd be an ideal second choice striker. He can also play on the wings pretty effectively. Would be a really nice signing IMO.

Edit:

Think a slightly faster, more versatile Remy for those who haven't seen him play.

[Miki-Liki 405]

Last season, he played mostly on his natural position (right wing). Sounds like a French Schurrle.

Right wing isn't his natural position... He was shoe horned in there because of Lewandowski.

He's first and foremost a striker that can play out wide, not a winger that can play up front.

[Miki-Liki 405]

I see, so he's more like a French Sturridge. Some sites report that he's a right winger. Pretty sure he can't be worse than the current strikers.

[Madmax 9,219]

I think PEA would be a very nice addition to the squad (especially for anything under 15 mn £) as a foil for Costa. Don't think Mourinho's going to put up with Lukaku's antics.

In games where we come up against parked defences, I'd happily throw him up top alongwith the Spaniard.

...and something different from Blacszykowski.

Worth remembering a lot of the time when parents say "he will stay, he is happy" etc is opinion more than likely. He has no power to stop Dortmund accepting a bid

According to France Football, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is in advanced discussions with Chelsea http://www.francefootball.fr/news/Aubameyang-discute-avec-chelsea/477790 … #CFC #BVB

[Cosmin 2,484]

He's fast in FIFA. I like him

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'm just saying.. He did score a hattrick on his Dortmund debut

[chopchop 68]

I like this move if true. Right price, right age, and a much different type of striker than Costa. Would strike a good balance up top.
