Aubameyang for £65m?

Man C are reported to not want to meet Dortmund's £65m valuation of him on the BBC gossip page.

For Arsenal with our dire need for a top striker I think this could be a good bit of business, if he will come to us. OK, its a lot of money but in the current market it may be worth Arsenal just saying fack it and paying what it takes for a top striker, even if its not a bargain that Wenger normally wants.

Lukaku and Sterling are close to 50m so for a player who's actually good 65m doesn't seem so bad anymore.
------------------------------------

Problem is Sterling and Lukaku are ridiculously overpricced, so we can't just be using their value as a marker. How much did Lewandowski go for? How much did Douglas Costa go for? How much did we buy Alexis?

I've watched Aubameyang tons of times, and while I think he's better than Giroud, he still strikes me as someone who might struggle in the PL.

Never gonna happen according to Wenger, he is looking for young talent from the French market.


‘At the moment most of the young talented players are from France,’ said Wenger.
‘We speak about [Anthony] Martial, [Kingsley] Coman, who are still 20.
‘I saw a very interesting talent the other day to come on for Turkey – Mor. He has just signed for Dortmund. I was very impressed by his talent. There are other players like Sane from Germany, who has not played yet.’
The Gunners have been linked with Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette, while Belgium ace Michy Batshuayi plays for Marseille.

Awful amount of money for a player whose country will be hosting the African Cup from January through Februa

--

Acon is on way too often-needs scaled back to 4 years like euros / WC. Bit of a waste of time as a tournament.

Lewandowski was free. Everyone knows that Sterling fetched that price due to his English premium.

Aubameyang is easily worth the price; he isn't as clinical as Vardy, but long term he will provide great value, especially when he is sold to Real. He is a top striker, and will be world class under the right tutelage. Wenger misses him the first time, let's not do it again.

Does the OP really think that if City bit more than 65M and Dortmund say no we get him for 65M?

Don't think Wenger has the balls to spend £65m.

He hasn't even scored at the Euro Ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
to be fair he has been banging them in at the copa america, arguably a tougher tournament.

A top top striker would do it in both

Euro's, Copa America and ACON which he actually plays in!!!!!

And even if we signed him and he does go to ACON for a month or two, thats about how long Giroud can maintain his best form for, so if we keep him as well we should have players who can perform for a whole season between them rather than the 2 months we have now.
