Fofana and De Jong alone would be way over that 150 already.

He will have 2 games to show TT what he can do. If he plays badly, we might sign another Midfielder and let Gallagher go on loan. I think Tuchels dream scenario would be to sign De Jong and loan Gallagher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did auba perform at arsenal in his final year(s)? How is he as a character in the dressing room?

He clashed with players on the team the moment he got here. He was constant distraction. I am not really high on Auba, but I would use a better comparison than Lukaku, that was an absolute disaster. Edit to add. Auba is by this time of his career a tap in merchant, but he does press rather hard and flies around the field. His offensive output is definitely declining.

Why? We are replacing Lukaku with auba. Auba is coming here to fill in the no. 9 position so it's obvious the comparisons will be there. We are spending 25m on a 33 year old has been and paying him 200kpw for it. Someone who is as disruptive in the dressing rooms and having worse performance and numbers. Sorry, but i would not want to get cancer just to be rid off aids. Absolutely mental the whole scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles How come? Lukaku was a bad tactical fit and a disruptive dressing room figure while Werner failed under two different managers and just clearly wasn't up to the challenge. Both were also unhappy at the club and wanted to move on. I too think signing Aubameyang at the prices being mentioned is not a great deal and based on his last 1,5 seasons at Arsenal there are definitely risks involved but keeping Lukaku or Werner wasn't the answer either and anyone who claims otherwise is out of their minds. Aubameyang has been pretty good at Barcelona and scored 11 goals in 13 league starts last season from January onwards. He also has prior history with Tuchel from their time together at Dortmund and lived in London for many years playing in the EPL so he should be able to settle in reasonably quickly. My only problem with Aubameyang signing would be the high transfer fee, considering his age, and having to offer him a multi-year contract where he might turn into a 'deadwood player' in the latter years. For this season he'd definitely be a decent improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I don't buy the idea that Aubameyang is a negative influence or dressing room "cancer". From what I've seen he seems to be a very likeable personality and doesn't carry much of an ego. I think his biggest problem is he has an extremely carefree attitude and this is what clashed with Arteta. I'd liken his personality to Hazard to be honest who it's been regularly reported put minimal effort into training and not much more consideration into tactical instructions. I think a less experienced manager may have struggled with giving Hazard a little leeway in that regard (you never know if he'd stayed, maybe Lampard would have experienced similar problems with trying to cater for him in an environment he's looking to bring discipline into) in the same way Arteta had no experience dealing with personalities like that and hence why the relationship soured so quickly. It's a completely different personality trait to someone like Lukaku who gives off an overbearing negativity when things aren't going well and holds an incredibly high vision of self-importance for himself. Tuchel knows him anyway so I wouldn't envisage him being a problem if he were to come here. I actually wouldn't personally be against him. Our track record with shorter term, veteran strikers to help the team is far better than that of expensive striker signings supposedly in or around their prime. The sticking point is the cost involved. The transfer fee seems ridiculous for someone Barca signed for free 6 months ago and considering they seem to be willing to grant Depay a free transfer, who you'd assume would be able to command at least a nominally reasonable fee (£10-15m). If this would be an £8-10m signing for a couple of seasons I'd be significantly more receptive to the deal than what it currently sounds like at upwards of £20m.
