MESUT DROPP… oh

by .

What is UP my darlings?

MESUT LOST HIS DEAL

Ok, Mesut’s deal expired and didn’t get renewed.

Ok fine, Mesut is going to blow up his own brand and he’s not signing with anyone.

No controversy here. Though it was interesting how many journos ploughed into Adidas for persecuting the German company for dropping a client over his defence of Uighurs but failed to note that he’d been, you know, hanging out with a major human rights abuser himself.

Both situations are awful, but you can’t be a moral bellwether when fighting for rights of one group, whilst giving legitimacy to abuse with your fame on the other.

In less serious news…

There are some reports saying Arsenal will keep Auba if they can’t get more than £20m for him this summer. Not sure I believe that, but I do think that at a certain point, 30 goals guaranteed might be worth more than a really embarrassing transfer fee.

The only problem you face with someone heading into their 32nd year with under a year on the contract is that at the action end of the season the player starts to protect their body. They don’t give it their all. They stop playing 3 games a week. It’s natural, if they blow out and ankle, that’s a 5 year deal, gone.

Still, quite incredible that leadership at Arsenal said they’d never let players run down their deals again and here we are, 1 year after Aaron Ramsey left us for a free, 2 years after Sanchez forced his way out of Arsenal at a knockdown rate, and we’re sitting here with a £60m striker who could move on for a very small fee.

How does that happen? We seem to have gotten closer to doing a new deal with Emery than we did Auba.

Still, on the business side of things, if we can get a fee for him, and it’s good, we’d be better to sell than anchor ourselves into a mega-deal again. Someone like Odsonne Edouard might be a good replacement, maybe we have 35 goals between Eddie and Gabriel. I’m sure there’s a solve that could work.

Most important thing for Arsenal this summer is coming out of it with a midfield that is built for the league. Power, finesse, size, and fitness. Give me those things, or I shall be furious.

Let’s talk more tomorrow, stay safe my darlings. x

Should’ve swapped Auba with Icardi when we had a chance

Number 6. An Arsenal center half is surely a cursed position.

Upstate Gooner

How are things in NJ atm?

grooveydaddy

Am I in moderation??

NJ Gooner

Thanks Pedro.

A swap seems a more likely avenue with Auba. Who would you feasibly swap him for? I, like you, would prefer a midfield player but keep coming back to RM and Jovic as a possible option.

Upstate Gooner

no, grooveydaddy, you’re just late 🙂

grooveydaddy

Oh….I’m not 🙂

Oops. I typed my name wrong hahaha

Upstate Gooner

Jovic is injured, and I don’t know if he’s the type of player/striker that we need. If RM really want Auba, I’d ask them for Isco.

NJ Gooner

Hello Upstate!

Thanks for asking. We are sitting in the proverbial eye of the storm. The numbers of infections in my small, multiracial neighborhood are slowly declining. But I am surrounded by minority neighborhoods in all directions (I am talking about less than a mile away). The infection rates there are also declining but proportionately five times as high. A microcosm of America’s problems. It is really terrible.

NJ Gooner

I’d love Isco. But I don’t think he’d be an option. As Pedro would insist, we need someone young and undervalued who Arteta can make into a star.

Upstate Gooner

I was actually wondering more about protests/riots but thanks for the Covid update. Glad things are relatively okay on that end.

Marc

In the current climate what is a good price for Auba?

Upstate Gooner

Didn’t realize Primeira Liga resumed today

NJ Gooner

The riots aren’t a problem here. We are about 30 minutes from Manhattan and it’s a different world. We are much closer to Newark and, surprisingly, Newark has been a model: mass protests without a hint of violence. We are all very proud of the community there.

I saw terrible video of violence in Buffalo. Are you near there? Any problems in your neck of the woods?

Nothing crazy here tho like LA or other cities

With 1 year left on his contract, and with what’s currently going, I’d say 30mil at the most. Realistically, more like 20-25mil. As many have already suggested, a swap is a better option in this case.

andy1886

Auba? £35-£40m would be reasonable. No point in selling for £20m – that’s one year of Ozil…

Guns of SF

RM is the only place I can see Auba going. Realistically.
I would do a swap for Dani and Isco…
Might have to throw in some cash or someone…

Get a 8 and a 10

Marc

Upstate / andy

That’s the problem – whether you rate him he scores goals. Even with prices reducing across the board a player who almost guarantees over 20 league goals a season will cost a lot of money – money that if we have we need to spend elsewhere.

If we can’t bring in over £25 million I’d be tempted to keep him and use other players Laca, Bellerin etc to help fund the CM’s we need. No point having a new shiny midfield if we cant’ score goals.

Upstate Gooner

I’m in Rochester area. We’ve had our share of peaceful and not so peaceful protests here in the last few days. And unfortunately, I don’t think it’s the end of it. Heard what happened in Buffalo too. Words like “sad”, “shame”, “disgust”, and others come to mind. Some people really are… animals (and even animals are better than those individuals).

Upstate Gooner

Marc
Oh, I totally agree with you there. I’d rather keep Auba than let him go for peanuts. But… if he has his mind set on leaving then might as well get as much as we can for him. Some promising young player + Cash would be ideal but a straight swap for someone who can contribute to goals right away would not be a bad idea either.

Marc

Upstate

If he’s set on leaving to that degree it actually does us a favour – his agent will have made contract with the clubs he’s interested in moving to.

I’m still of the opinion we’d have to bring in another striker – Martinelli and Nketiah aren’t ready yet.

NJ Gooner

Democracy is usually composed of two elements: civil and electoral representation, and the rule of law. Trump has successfully managed to drive a stake between those two elements. Those good souls demanding their rights are being subject to perversions of the rule of law in the name of security. The looters are, of course, a disgrace. But i am an optimist with a profound respect for the average American, who I see ultimately as full of goodwill.So, I believe that you may be right. There may still be problems in the short term. But I also think that what’s going… Read more »

Keep Auba if offers below £ 30M . No one at the club or our budget can get close to his goals numbers.

Ozil pays for being crap for years not for his political views.

Shawn Dykes matters!

“no point selling him for 20 million”

You’re happy to lose him for nothing next season?
I just don’t think Auba with all his goals for one more season can carry a team with a piss poor midfield to the CL.
He will score but we will still be shite and 20 million worse off in June 2021.

Don’;t forget we may not even have Europa league money next season.

London gunner

Yeah I am normally a trump fan as I hate liberal identify politics, but I have to say I find it very hard to see him winning next election. He is too much of a divider and destroyer right now and has made a huge mess out of this riot situation adding fuel to the fire.

To all those that say keep Auba if the offers are too low; Do you really think his 20-25 goals catapults us to a CL place next season…with the state of midfield that we have. Dortmund were better off when they sold him. We have strikers coming through the system that can chip in here and there. The 20-30 million we get for Auba can be used to make our midfield better.

Part of me actually wants us to go into next season with Martinelli & Nketiah as our striker options – just so those thinking they’ll get 30PL goals combined shut the fuck up and get a fucking grip.

We go with those 2 and we’ll be making overpriced panic buys in Jan to avert relegation.

Oh yeah – and Saliba will be looking to move on in 6 months.

NJ Gooner

London Gunner, The US stocks markets certainly rose pre-COVID under Trump. But many key economic indicators declined: sure, unemployment went down to 3.9% but that was because labor became so cheap in America. So people worked but were not paid a living wage. Trade deficits and public debt ballooned (imagine a UK tax cut that led to a $2 TRILLION decline in the government’s revenues, resulting in less money being spent on the NHS, schools, roads). Rest assured, I am far from radical myself, but I do recognize that symmetry between the way Trump runs an economy and the way… Read more »

Eduardo is hot.. he is hungry and has that Ade don’t mess approach.. he is great at holding on to the ball and laying off with right or left boot and a grafter. He doesn’t miss open goals as Auba does. Sell Auba buy Eduardo is the way forward for opportunity here.. EDU with EDDIE AND GABRIEL should do the business .. any profit from Auba scout around Scotland for a tough, talented and reasonably priced CB, loads of them up there

Marc

“Do you really think his 20-25 goals catapults us to a CL place next season…with the state of midfield that we have.”

Do you really think having a quality midfield playing behind a strike force (Pepe, Martinelli, Saka and Nketiah) that only scores 45 odd goals is going to get us in the top 8?

There’s a reason strikers who score goals cost a lot of money.

andy1886

I was going to ask Pedro if he’d put money on that but I think that Marc pretty much already nailed it.

Marc

andy

It staggers me that we have a section of fans who think the “glory” days will be right around the corner if we sell our 2 strikers, bring in a couple of CM’s (which are needed) and rely on 3 kids who are all in their first seasons plus Pepe.

Marc

We’re currently talking about possibly letting Auba go for less than the offer we had for Xhaka a handful of months ago.

It seems Pep Guardiola is trying to convince Ismael Bennacer to sign for City.

Pedro I agree Martinelli looks a special player but he’s not ready to be first choice – a season as backup will do him the world of good. Saka – we can’t even get him to sign a new deal and need to see him have a run of games at LW / LWF. Sorry but Nketiah isn’t going to make it.

Whatever we get for him now is far more that the nada we will lose him fort next June.

Marc

Dissenter

I hate to burst your bubble but everyone is quite aware that if we keep Auba for the remaining year of his contract he’ll leave on a free.

People who are arguing that keeping him unless the fee is high enough are weighing the cost of losing him on a free to the cost of not being able to replace his goals.

To me that’s dead simple – you either can’t compute that or think 20 plus PL strikers are two a penny. Last season there were 4 and two of them play for Liverpool.

Dissenter

Marc What are the cost of Auba’s goals? Sincerely, a simple cost analysis will tell you that his goals have only earned him big bonuses at Arsenal. His goals haven’t carried us over the line. His goals have never gotten us a CL qualification via the league no through winning the EL. His goals have never won the FA cup for us. He’s not the reason that we didn’t get those targets – his goals just has not been enough. Had Auba been RVP in 2011 who was was the clear difference between CL qualification or epic failure,I would say… Read more »

I’m not as I stated at 21.10.

When you think that we let our only midfield goal threat leave last season, that our number ten has scored one whole goal so far this season, and our second and third highest scorers have scored seven and four respectively you’d have to be more than a little concerned that next season we’d struggle for goals Take away Auba’s goals and our scoring rate per league game is 0.82. I’d rather sell Laca. Seems like there are suitors, given there are a few more we could easily do without we should be able to raise enough to buy a couple… Read more »

andy1886

Currently we’re on target to score 54 goals this season. Last season it was 73 goals, prior to that 74, 77, and 65.

It’s not difficult to see why we need a genuine goal scorer or we risk further decline.

Marc

andy

Your numbers on our scoring rate with Auba is precisely why I’m concerned – last season we had Laca who scored 13.

This season he can’t his a cows arse with a banjo. So we sell Auba / Laca and have an injury next season, a young player can’t cope with the pressure we’ll be fucked.

We’ll be drawing matches at home 0-0 that we should be winning by 2 or 3 goals.

Didn’t we finish 1 point of CL football last season?

If Arteta is the elite head coach Pedro is claiming him to be (I see the potential) there is no way he will want to go into a full pl season with two or three kids up front. Nobody is doubting Martinelli’s or Saka’s potential but they not up to scoring the required goals for us next year. If Auba leaves he has to be replaced or Laca has to step up.

Dissenter

Pedro
That’s the point I’m trying to make to Marc
Auba’s goals haven’t been enough fort 2.5 season, his goals won’t be enough for next season.
We have to take a leap of faith with Nkettiah, Martinelli, Saka and Pepe.
We should be fine without Auba [and Laca] If we can get a central midfielder like Soler along with an AM like Kocku that can score goals from the midfield

This rookie gaffer still needs to explain why he didn’t let Xhak leave in January. He has also been unable to spring out some Kinda game fr that dolt Ozil. Club has to excise themselves from those two and get Auba to extend ..:: Partey would be icing on the cake and then we could really get the ball rolling

7am has a great post today concerning the current state of affairs in the US. Some excellent responses in the comments section too.

I watched a crowdless Bundesliga match last night that had no commentary, and crowd noises patched in. I’ll definitely watch the pl when it returns but hopefully without the crowd noise. It does nothing to improve the lack of atmosphere (for me.)

Bojangles

According to the Telegraph, Arteta is desperate to keep Auba at the club.

“Arsenal know they may be forced to listen to offers for Aubameyang in the next transfer window if the striker does not sign a new deal. But Arteta is desperate to keep the club’s top scorer and build a young and vibrant team around him.

“With that in mind, Arteta is preparing to initiate talks and hopes to impress the 30-year-old and his father. Rather than leaving the matter in the hands of the club’s contract and transfer chiefs,”

I have been screaming this from the mountain top when everyone was clamoring about our defense and CBs. its our midfield that leaks the goals, that does not create, does not score. Its like a gaping hole in the middle of the field. We need a B2B, CAM, and a RB- Bellerin will not stay fit – next season. A pacy RWB without pace is only going to be a bad thing. So we sell Auba… Read more »

Guns of SF

If we keep Auba, then I would hope that Arteta still addresses the midfield.
He needs service and he cannot score enough on his own to make up deficiencies for other non scoring players…. that should contribute to goals.

So the conclusion is, with or without Auba, we need a midfield overhaul

Comprendo?

Gonsterous

Don’t know about the others but I can see pepe getting 15+ goals next season. It’s time the boy shined.
Really need to upgrade our midfield, which has been wank ever since santi left. Ramsey wasn’t really that great. Sure he scores goals but he does very less aside from that. Hence why he has started only 9 times for juve since signing for them.

You seem so certain as if you’ve seen future man.
Give the kid some time. And a Chance maybe.
He’s proved he can regularly score in reserves.
He’s proved himself as a good rotation option by chipping in with some goals when given time.
Surely the next step is to give him responsibility and then go from there rather than just writing him off just because he doesn’t score at a ridiculous rate like Haaland .

IMO Im selling Auba for 30 mil this summer. Minimum id take is 25 + bonuses. Anything lower than that would be other teams taking advantage of us. Get A strong elite / potential elite central midfielder. Partey/ Osimhen / Zakaria many good options out there. If we wanna go a bit cheaper then theres Sanagre who has flown under the radar but has very good underlying stats that prove how good he has been this season for Tolouse.
