RVP was a top player from 2010-13, but was lacing up for Fenerbahce by the time he was 31.
Aubameyang on the other hand has been banging them in for every single club he's been at for close to a decade. He's also proved himself to be a leader on the pitch, which RVP never was.
Leader on the pitch how, because he scores goals ?? RVP scored goals when he was Arsenal captain too ?
Explain how Auba is a leader on the pitch. I see no leadership on the pitch, I don't see any gee-ing up or remonstrations, things that all good captains do. Leading by example ? Ok yes ... but then RVP did the same if scoring goals is the criteria.
He was literally wearing the captain's armband on Saturday.
Since Arteta arrived, he has been tracking back and making far more of a defensive contribution. Players that won't or can't do that get dropped. No exceptions. He's our only undroppable player, but he's still leading by example.
That's on top of the fact that's he's dragged us to our first silverware since 2017. RVP had better players around him in every position, and only has a failed League Cup final to his name.
Always liked RVP but no problem with Aubameyang's leadership so far. Works hard on the pitch, promotes Arsenal in a positive light and has conducted himself well throughout the contract speculation.
