Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Di Marzio saying PEA agreed personal terms with us until June 2021 and Dortmund are asking 60M euros but want to keep him until summer. he say we may include Giroud in the deal.

"Özil just needs a runner ahead of him."

Wenger buys one when Mesut has less than six months of his contract to go.

Ambition.

3,5€ M can't be right? He is surely earning more or nearly the same at the moment.

Also this, apparently:

Posturing.

Why only a 3.5 year deal? I'd prefer longer, he's a valuable asset.

 

[Aevi]

Ah option for another year, that's a little better.

Considering his age, until 2021 with an option of another year is fine.

That could be after tax.

 

[GDeep™]

28/29, heavily reliant on pace. 3 year deal is fine.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

if what di Marzio saying is true that Auba want to leave now not in summer then we may get this deal done quick if we make the offer they want.

but if he not push the move Dortmund won't be desperate to let him go even with his problems.

This guy comes, he finishes his career here basically. 3 years is good.

That's probably an after tax figure. Looking at roughly 110k per week before.

Just out of curiosity, because this was my qualm, what is the downside of giving him a 4.5 year contact instead of a 3.5?

My thought is that if he's on 4.5, we can still make money by selling him if/when he is no longer needed. 3.5 takes that choice away from us. I know there is the option to extend, but I mean in theory, why would 3.5 > 4.5 for the club? The possibility of us being forced to pay his wages the extra year?

 

[Kingslayer]

After tax figures.

All the rage now.

If we signed him for 4.5 years that means that if he gets bad after 3.5 years, we need to pay off his contract when selling him. Probably pay some agent fees as well. And if he's bad, we won't be getting that much from a transfer fee so it results in a loss for us. On the other hand, if he signs for 3.5 but turns bad, we can just not renew. If he's still good, we can activate the option and still have the chance to sell him for a more decent fee than if he was shït.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Auba not with the squad.

 

[field442]

3.5 with an extra year makes sense. That way you extend him and then sell him when he’s 32. If there’s no extra year you’re going to be selling him after 2.5 years or letting him walk on a free.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Can we get this one done now Arsenal? these guys are just telling us come and f**king take him.

 

[OnlyOne]

I am sure I've seen a report somewhere saying Auba is in Berlin? I'll try find it.

 

[mavelous]

if he gets us europa league and back in UCL, he's worth it. with Özil still able too see a pass, let's pray. at least it should take the pressure off of laca alone as well. giroud and welbeck lost their shooting boots at the beach last summer.
