Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (signed, sealed, delivered)

[AbouCuellar]

Still kinda unsure what this signing accomplishes… if it really is the difference between Özil re-signing or not fair enough but like @sevchenko said in the Wenger thread:

@sevchenko

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

Now we’re left having spent £110m worth on strikers of age 26 and 28. Really not sure how we can accommodate them both. Let’s pray the Theo position works for 28 yr old poacher Aubameyang because if not we’ve basically just paid £60m to convince Özil (if true that he’s re-signing).
