Are people seriously moaning about signing a proven goal scorer when we have been crying out for a proven goalscorer in the past 2/3 seasosn?

🤣

It's a stop gap and the only other stop gap would be Ronaldo. 

At this moment in time, I'd take either if them. 

I just want to see chances like Havertz had against Spurs, converted. 

 

This was the exact same logic that had us bring Lukaku and Higuian through the door.

A blind man could see Lukaku was pure dog shit at Man United.

Higuain was never proven in the Prem.

How is it the same?

Auba scored a hatfull of goals at Arsenal and if I remember rightly, he was being played on the LW most of that time??

The same blind men can see a well past prime auba who struggled totally and completely for his last 1.5 year to the point of being sold for free to Barca.

Higuain hit some class goals and shots , and was technically very nice , just super out of shape

At £15m it’s probably decent value. Hard to be that upset if that’s all we end up paying. Then we just have to hope the contract length isn’t too long so we can easily move him on if it doesn’t work out.

[Fernando 6,441]

15 million is good, but don't pay high wages. 

That is the problem we have here, giving high wages and then can't move on players.

Oh wow. How about that guy who was given a monicker of "king of milan". Should we re look at him? Get him on board. Heard he scored in the 1st minute of something along those lines

So bascally what ever he's done or accomplished is meaningless to you. Already decided he's the worst player on the planet. Stats are wrong his accomplishments are wrong in other words your salty AF about us signing him.

He was on low wages at Barca - it was supposed to increase this summer. Hopefully club have got him to agree to reasonable wages.

Haaland and Nunez aside, was there any striker available in the summer who was in their prime and was a proven pick?

You say stop-gaps, but our so called stop gaps seem to demand a lot of playing time, disrupt our playing style and create a toxic dressing room.

This is like Lukaku all over. We want chances to be finished while forgetting how those chances are made

There’s an extreme lack of traditional world class strikers in Europe right now. Even if we had another £100m to spend on one like we did with Lukaku we wouldn’t be getting a sure fire, risk free player. 

Osimhen is really the only name I can think of that people are hyping up as the next highly sought after #9 that the big clubs will be after.

Hope Barca hold onto their demands and we get priced out of a move. 

No need to spend silly money on Auba.

We have many stop gaps in the past and wages are always the problem. Hard to get rid of them. 

At least take a change on someone younger like Jonathan David. Or pay the money for someone like Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is overhyped a lot imo, what has he done to justify the enormous pricetag? 14 goals in Serie A, his best ever season so far, I expect double figures of a 100m target.

Both have contracts till 2025. Don't think a move was on the cards this summer other than for silly money.

Lukaku was clearly bought as a longer term option and assumed to be THE striker at the club to just slot in and be a regular starter.

I agree that you don't want someone coming in and automatically assuming they are going to be playing week in week out but we don't know how Aubameyang fits if he does come here. 

At least in this situation, we already know that Tuchel loves the player and has an excellent relationship with him so currently all we can do really with this one is trust his judgement.

Clearly no one on the market that we are prepared to commit to and a David or Osimhen would be significantly worse than Aubameyang for the long term if they didn't work out.

They'd cost a fortune, probably command wages not dissimilar to Aubameyang but a far lengthier deal. If they bombed we'd be looking at enormous costs or there may be a reluctance to replace them and try to keep making it work, a bit like we had with Torres.

At the very least with an example like Aubameyang the costs can be absorbed far easier for a couple of seasons if it didn't work out that well and it shouldn't prevent us going to the market for another attacker potentially next summer when we've had longer to plan.

Auba has only ever fallen out with arteta was fine with TT klopp and has been fine with xavi!!

Lukaku has accomplished as much if not more. He has scored almost double the PL goals as auba.

I am not belittling auba's past achievements, i am putting up FACTS showing that those achievements are more than 2 years old. He has been in decline and getting him is a mistake. 

And why are you getting it now? Obviously i am salty as fuck that we are signing a has been for a large sum who just 6 months ago was considered not good enough by a fellow top4 competitor. Hell they did not even charge a transfer fee for him. Just let him leave for free. Should there be any more of an indication of his dip for arsenal? 

I am judging auba the 33 year old. I don't care what he did for BVB, i don't care what he did for arsenal 4-5 years ago. We are NOT getting THaT auba. We are getting a well past it, a has been player, who does not even look like a good fit. Get it?
