Dunno what has been going on the last few years with the scouts but if things were done right we could have saved a lot of money
2012 Giroud was top scorer in league one with 21 goals and Aubameyang 4th 16 goals not much difference I Know Giroud had more assists too in that title winning season while St Ethiene finished 7th.
Anyways it doesn’t take a genius to figure out by watch the two of them that even back then that Aubameyang would eventually become the better player, fast, agile, quick feet, whereas Giroud was the opposite tall, slow, turns like a bus.
Being a scout for a team like Arsenal you’d push for us to sign Aubameyang because he’s better for our system we probably would have won the league instead of Leicester a few years after.
They both sold for 12m when they left France so money was no issue and we would have saved money in the long run on what we eventually paid for auba, who knows maybe he would have left by now to Barcelona or someone but at least we would have had a world class player for a few years and cheap.
