The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Last season, he played mostly on his natural position (right wing). Sounds like a French Schurrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopchop 68 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't understand,If he is indeed a very good player than why are Dortmund selling him and that too quite cheap? It's kind of strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of strange.They did just buy their Lewandowski replacement. Don't know who else they have up front but it does seem strange for them to sell him a year after buying him.

Styles 9,790 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Aubameyang is averaging 18 goals a season over the last 3 years. Last season Hazard our top goalscorer with 17 goals, the nearest to him was Eto'o on 12. That's absolutely pitiful for a club with our aspirations. The team that won the league had Aguero (28 goals), Dzeko (26), Yaya (24) and Negredo (23). They scored a massive 56 goals more than us over the course of the season.Costa on his own won't be enough, we need more players capable of scoring goals.I'm not sure why Dortmund are selling but they were apparently interested in signing Lukaku so maybe we've struck some sort of deal? I know that kind of thing rarely happens but you never know. Wouldn't surprise me if Lukaku is off to Dortmund this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
