Perhaps you think we need a better player there or some cover but 1 game a week is not particularly physically demanding is it? Totally agree on the RB, Hector's trash these days.

it's not demanding of course but we can't totally depending him you know you can't rule out injures specially with Arsenal also Arteta does like to change his style he sometimes put ESR on wings and played Ødegaard as number 10.

@yousif_arsenal Who would you have gone after of the people we've been linked with this window?

What’s the latest? I can’t go back and read all the previous pages.
60-65M, I’ll do it.

I actually see him missing a bunch of tap in during pre season as a good thing, means we are actually creating chances for him. He's not a do it all striker, he's a goalscorer.
Just irks me that PEA's situation is what shows me we don't really have a plan. You don't give him a huge contract like that without building the team around getting him on the end of chances. It was shortish extension as well, so no point in not doing it now.
Deal's dead and we'll opt for Brandt as a cheaper option to cover for ESR if he's injured.

@BigPoppaPump spot on. Nothing to suggest to say Auba has fallen off. Arteta-ball simply doesn’t create anything for him.
He’s the next scapegoat though, guy is going to get murdered next season with Xhaka going.

Don’t ruin my mood like this.
Would you rather I lied? Better to start the season with the right expectation.

Nothing suggest he's fallen off despite him looking as if he can't control a ball and missing open goals?
He admitted himself he's fallen off. He was excellent in Arteta's first 6 months then signed the ting now he's ****.

He was out of position for the start of last season and then sick with malaria. He had a below par season, but he’s not fallen off.
You’re a disgrace tbh. You’re like a club shill and now buying into the “he signed a contract and fell off” BS.

Think Auba had something like 1.5 shots per game last season, not a lot you could expect any striker to do with that. Add on the fact he was chasing full backs for much of the season as well.
If he's getting as many chances as he did against Rangers every week and missing them, then that is the time we can admit their would be a problem. Given his goal history I don't see him missing those chances if given them every week though.

Interesting you lot agree on Auba, I think he's done here, he'll still score here and there but I no longer think he's an asset for Arsenal to rely on, more a luxury item to be carried. When constructing the team he solves no problems and creates many, we were better last season with Laca. To me he's a goldilocks player now that only has a right foot and strikers that play at any serious level need more to their game than that.
There's no life in our combinations with Auba any more I don't think it's coming back.

Auba works when you pack the creative players behind him and Laca works when you've got direct players running off him. Agree that Laca was more useful last season, also worry that Auba is declining but hope he proves us wrong.
Again, the club gave him that contract and then refuses to build around him...

I think the evidence for that is limited, once or twice Øde put him in but not something that happened with any sort of consistency, he didn't have much of relationship with Özil and I struggle to remember to remember him profiting from a set up of that description at Dortmund.

Yeah the Arsenal fanbase is truly pathetic, you can see them now planting the Auba hate seeds.

Okay so now you're saying he was sick with malaria and that's the reason why he didn't perform? Not Arteta? Hmm.
He had a below par season and he's just turned 32. He's going to gradually decline no matter what you say mate, its just natural with age. I think he'll have a better season this year, but he is falling off and its just natural progression.
