I’d be stunned if he sees out all 3 years of his contract if this deal indeed happens. Really, unless he absolutely crushes it in his first season here I doubt he even comes back for a second one. We’ll bin him off to Galatasaray or Besiktas who love an old, past it star player.

Report we are doubling his 9m salary at Barca. So 18m per year.

I think we are only doubling compared to the lower initial salary he got in his first years so will about match what he would get there from this season on

Arsenal got rid of washed up players like Aubemayang and are integrating more of their youth players to play winning football.

For some reason we are choosing to go the opposite direction with regards to players. Starting to reek of short-termism.

Also, this isn't like how we once got Giroud from Arsenal. Giroud was signed as a pure squad option, namely to give us a target-man. His attitude was top notch and we benefitted from it.

Tbf, we’re still superior to Arse at every position on the pitch other than striker.  I wouldn’t swap a single one of their best XI for one of ours. And our squad is much better as well.

It’s definitely true that this Auba deal is questionable but there just aren’t many options out there.

I was going to state otherwise, but @Vesper has done so. There are PLENTY of options, just a lack of top-quality options (Lukaku was supposedly in the bracket).

Saka is streets ahead of any actual right winger we can toss out

I’ve literally never heard of half these guys. 🤣 But even the ones I have heard of would be just as risky as Auba. Maybe even more so because at least he’s played multiple seasons in the PL.

That’s what I meant. There isn’t any sure thing out there. No top class striker who stands out above everyone.

To be clear, I don’t necessarily WANT Auba. I’m just at the acceptance phase of this window. I’ll give him a a chance and hope for the best.

Osimhen does. There's a reason he's been linked with a number of teams including Bayern.

next summer (not really available now) the best who will be remotely available, besides Osimhen

Christopher Nkunku  although far more of an AMF/SS/Winger, so probably should not be on this list
Lautaro Martínez
João Félix   (not really sure about him at CF, plus insanely expensive)  
Rafael Leão (not really sure about him at CF, plus insanely expensive)   
Karim Adeyemi 

then 5 who are available now, who are worth watching to see if they blow up this season

Evanilson  
Gonçalo Ramos
Arnaut Danjuma 
Jonathan David 
Amine Gouiri

You really think he’s a can’t miss kind of striker? I don’t see that personally. He isn’t a Haaland/Aguero/Lewa/Kane sort of level where I can see him coming to England and scoring 20 league goals.

He looks good but not incredible to me. And for £100m I’d want someone less risky after the Lukaku debacle.
