It’s all Wenger, no doubt.
Proactive behaviour would have been selling Alexis off in the summer, Not spending £50m on back up striker and pushing harder for Auba.
It’s pretty clear Auba wasn’t on his radar in the summer and he was hoping the Alexis situation would pan out. It hasn’t and he’s clearly very desperate to justify his next contract. So enter Aubameyang, who will just be papering over the cracks at this point so we can outscore teams to 4th place.
Desperate short term move
