Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[Salibatelli]

I think we’re basically going to watch other clubs sign decent talents whilst we get nobodies, possibly lose some of our better players and can’t shift the rubbish ones.

Mid table here we come.

Next ten games we have to do with what we've. Try to rotate the midfielders and hope Auba , Laca and Mertinelli be more hawkish in front of the goal. Meanwhile, try to stay compact in behind. Target is to get as close as the 60 pt mark as possible.
Come summer, go all out for at least a very good AM and a top DM. Of course need to hold on to two of the three strikers.

I'm concerned that if we don't get CL we won't be making any significant signings

Why ? In the past 3 seasons being out of the CL we have spent £141m, £72m and £137m

Yeah we spent that on overpriced dross.

We still spent the money though, thats the point.

It still makes me laugh when people say we need to be in the CL to attract the best players, during our heyday in the CL which best players did we buy ?!! We didn't.

We need to be smarter with our purchases than we’ve been in the past few years. We need to be buying players of a much higher technical standard than Guendozi. I look at how Leicester has been buying in the past 5-6 years and it’s absolutely outstanding. Arteta needs to quickly land on a system and then go about recruiting players of a high technical standard.

Technical standard is not our issue.
Guendouzi is an excellent young player - but he will be inconsistent at his age.
Which player of the same type would you take from the Leicester squad to replace Guendouzi?

[Salibatelli]

I don't see us spending much this summer for several reasons:

1) We have to pay the 30 million for Saliba now, we're paying some of the Pepe fee this summer
2) Given the situation recently and the fact we couldn't get our players to agree anything but a measly 12.5% cut despite not having to play for months, this will clearly affect our ability to spend (I know we have a billionaire owner, but he won't be spending a penny, he never does)
3) We won't get the CL money we were banking on this season, I Just can't see us getting top 4, we're not good enough and the manager hasn't really made much difference to us and we haven't moved up the table under his management
4) We're relying on selling dross which noone seems to want, we've been trying to get rid of them for years with no joy
5) Our wage bill is sky and without being able to get rid of overpaid players with FFP and no CL we won't have much room to manoeuvre

Get ready for a pretty poor summer and another awful season next season, the boat has well and truly sailed with this club, we missed our chance and wasted the resources we did have.

Worse still we'll probably be watching cash rich clubs like Man U, Chelsea and possibly Newcastle (if the takeover goes through) buying quality players we can only dream about.

Madison, Ndidi, Tielemans, Gray, Mendy

Victor Osimhen is a young Auba. Could make a good replacement.

Victor Osimhen is a young Auba. Could make a good replacement.

He’s scored a handful of goals in a weak league, that’s hardly evidence he’s the new Aubameyang.

The guy could just as easily come here and score 4-5 goals all season.

Well then can you explain why there’s a video on YouTube calling him The Next Auba?

Very easy to explain, it’s YouTube, every young footballer is world beater on there and there’s always someone touted to be the next player to become one the new Aubameyang, or Zidane, or Ronaldo, or Messi.

He came to visit the club a few years back now, along with Chukwueze and Nwalki.

We ended up doing a deal for Nwalki .. The only only the three that hasn't made any impact yet . Typical !

Arsenal are hopeful their relationship with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's father - who is also the 30-year-old's agent - will help them agree a new contract with the Gunners' club captain. (Telegraph)
