First they are all like yeah we’re willing to sell, but ONLY if our demands our met. Okay we’ve now done that, finally. Now they won’t sanction the deal until they have replacement? Fuck off. You get 60 million, give us the damn player and sort your shit out.
It’s hard not to be when you support this club, everything almost always has to be done the hardest way and most drawn out way possible.
I’m quietly confident well get this done though, it isn’t in Dortmund’s best interest for him to still be on their books come end of the window at all.
Got to give credit where it’s due if we complete this signing.
The big worry if we sold Sánchez was always our ability to sign a top quality replacement. Thought Aubameyang was out of our reach but looking like we’ve pulled it off. He is one of the best strikers in the world. Certainly not as complete a player as Sánchez but if used correctly, on paper he can replace the goal output.
A huge worry I’ve always had is that Arsenal would have lost a significant amount of “fear factor” with Sánchez gone but replacing him with Aubameyang is pretty good fucking work.
