Aubameyang rumours are spreading thick and fast.
To be honest, he has just turned 28, only last month and therefore he isn't as old as some people make.
If the rumours are true and we could snap him up for 60 million then I would take him all day long. He is the calibre of striker that will win you titles. He will make us very dangerous on the counter attack too.
Furthermore unlike Belotti, Moratta and Sanchez, this transfer could be the easiest to acquire for us. To sign the any of the others we will need a lot of negotiating and I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of messing around and it will drag out for a while and it's not ideal to to be backed into a corner with no strikers barring batshuayi when the transfer window is about to close. Teams will take advantage of out desperate situation.

I'm not even joking but the quotes from Torino president saying they will listen and that they are there if anyone wants to enquire sounds as if they want to cash in. albeit for a large fee. I think with the 90m that was quoted for lukaku deal with add ons, £65m ( ish ) for aubameyang if still go for belotti. see what Torino will accept. even a deal with a loan back for a year? For £140m we could get two of best about, ( that's if belotti isn't a one season wonder )

PEA is a great Striker no doubt. Yes last month in June he turned 28.
Realistically there are Morata, Belloti and PEA in transfer market.
PEA record is such that he has more goals in last two seasons than combination of Morata and Belloti.
But CFC do have concerns too regarding PEA, if transfer don't go well then after couple of years his transfer value will be very much less due to his age.

Why do people on here worry so much about transfer fees.
I'd be very happy with Aubameyang. Always looked dangerous whenever I've watched him play and knows where the goal is.
Also if in 2 years he was to leave, Abraham would hopefully be pushing for a starting position by then.
That being said I'm not confident that we'll get him.

Can't we just buy both? Michy goes out on loan Costa sold for £30m. There you go. £80m for Belotti, £30m for PEA after £30m for Costa. Sorted.

Why is everyone worrying about reselling price. Realistically we are looking for a ne striker who will stay with us and not lead after 2 years so it shouldn't matter about what pirce we will te sell them on for. Auba will probably have 2 great years left and then start to decline but will still be a top striker. With morata or belotti we could get abou 6-7 years if them at their prime but if you think logically. By signing them, Abraham wont get a in the future . Like King Drogba said previously, we sign auba and in 2 years when he's 30 Abraham can challenge for the first team.

PEA is an amazing striker. Its hard to believe that we might sign. If there's any chance I would sign him immediately. He scored 42 goals last season in all competitions.
