He isnt and never was good enough as a first choice CF for a top 4 team. His 3 month goal drought cost us the title in 2016 (with a bit of help from refs). Most league goals in a league season was 16. Auba is a massive upgrade. And how long was Giroud with us until his first hattrick, which by the way was after the 3 month goal drought in 2016 and only scored AFTER it was impossible for us to win the league.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He'd be perfect as a back up option, not his fault we kept him as first choice for so long but he took a lot of unfair criticism at Arsenal. Selling him on the cheap and spending 50m on a downgrade in Lacazette was a big mistake in hindsight.
A masterclass.
