Dortmund are as bad as us at the moment. He probably wants out. I think we could tempt him with some mega dollars.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang| ESPN: Move to PSG very close
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
At least Mhkitaryan would have a buddy in the stands with him. Just grab Weigl and Pulisic while we're at it, and have a cheerleading team made up of ex-Dortmund players.
That's not going to be an issue for us anytime this or next season. Sign him up
Let's be real, Miki has been given one chance, against City, and that's it. He still has time to prove himself. (Prove himself on the stands that is as he never makes the 18 man squad).Like with Kagawa or Micki.
Stylish dresser, looks like he just walked out of an old noir movie. If he's really on the outs we should be all over this.
Remember the same laughing smiley from you when we were linked with Mkhi.
Now you've just turned bitter about him, this time next year, you'll be bitter about Auba.
If we sell him, then we sell him, and we decide this. Thing is: Its a fundamental difference in having 365days of contract left or if thre is a contract till 2021.
And if we sell at some point, lets say to United, iam sure we get tons of cash and there will be another tale of fail at United, problems are deep in the club, Auba wouldnt solve it just like all the others before didnt solve it. Finaly, i think United has to less style atm for him.
From your perspective, what are these "deep" problems that United have?
People discussed this in other threads already.
No DoF, no mid- and no longterm plan. What United wants to play?, for deciding then with who and how. How to connect this with a youth-development plan? How to conect it with creating an amtosphere at the club where everybody want to be part of something great. Seems that since years nobody at United sees that the demand "being the biggest club" isnt working alone and for itself, it doesnt create a system thats too big to fail. For such a high demand, you have to work for it, and proofing this every time again by having the highest standards, the most progressiv mechanism in a club worldwide. Atm, it becomes sarcastic from United claiming this sentence again and again, and working as amateurish as possible. Speaking of being progressiv and having high standards, this i only see in getting senseless sponsors. A glimpse of a football strategy? Never seen the last years at United. And if this is going on like before, you will wake up in the future and see that the topclubs in Europe are miles away and you are not allowed to play in the same sandbox, even worse: in you own country there are some teams you see only their back. Spending senseless money on one player while your whole squad is missing consistence and strucutre, and thinking with this attitude you can solve your problems is one of your problem.
Pulisic is a United fan. Maybe in the future he'll get to join his dream club.
Arent you guys tired of watching your own bad football and then wanting a BVB-player? At least one, but there are examples of wanting 2 or 3. Isnt that cringeworthy at some point?
It would be cringe worthy, if we were continuously getting rejected by these players, but we're not.

Maybe he will do so one day, but in the forseeable future, Pulisic would be stupid beyond belief to leave Dortmund, especially to a shark pool that is Manchester United. The lad starts CL games at the age of 18 and develops extremely well in his current enviroment. A transfer would risk all that. Unless he only chases the money, he would be well advised to stay put until he is at least fully developed and has become established.
Yeah in all those years, you just werent able to get these: Reus, Hummels, Gündogan, Auba, Lewandowski, Götze, Klopp. And some of them you were desperate about them over a long time. And these are only the BVB players..I wont start with cases like Müller where Woodward made a total joke out of himself representing United.
You picked up Kagawa and we made some money plus having him back. Now you bought Mikci for a record fee when he has only 1 year contract left. Respect! Its pity that your football hasnt been better despite all your wise actions. And yeah, i call that cringeworthy.

Same story with Mkhitaryan, didn't stop him.
What's it like being 6th in a two-horse race?
This is the Auba thread, dont make it more cringeworthy.It's not the same story at all. Mkhi is pretty much in his peak years and fully developed as a footballer. He's already had a successful career. Pulisic going to United is a similar scenario to Kovacic going to Real (but worse). Dortmund is pretty much the best club in the world to be at for youngsters to realise their potential; going to United wouldn't help him at all, his bank account however....
If he's available in January, we need to break the bank to get him here.
Aubameyang - Zlatan
Martial - Pogba - Herrera - Mata
Shaw - Blind - Bailly - Valencia
De Gea

I have read in AS that Borussia and Madrid had talks about Aubameyang,80 m€.
They say that Florentino considers that he's in a perfect moment of his career and could be the substitute of Benzema.
Of course they assume that the transfer ban will be reduced

No disagreement regarding Pulisic, but Kovacic is doing fine in his second year & seems bound to have a great career at Real.
Pretty sure Woody is a member of this forum and signed Mkhitaryan just to troll @slig
Explains why he can't get a game.

Possible. Would also explain what the hell United is doing the last years.
Yeah, well I haven't had the chance to watch much of Real this season but I've seen his name pop up in the match reports so he must be getting much more game time. I'd still be very surprised if Real don't go and sign Veratti or a more established midfielder as an instant upgrade. It's not in club's nature to let youngsters iron out their faults while maintaining first team status.
That's more a myth in my eyes. I'd say few teams have a better record for integrating young players than Real Madrid.
Marcelo, Benzema, Varane, Carvajal, Casemiro (buy back involved for the latter two) have all joined the club at a young age or were Castilla players. They worked their way into the starting eleven against stiff competition instead of being bought as established stars.
Kovacic, Asensio and Jesús Vallejo will likely follow, Marcos Llorente is a realistic possibility too. Morata is not without a chance.
A bonus for the current crop of young players is that Real probably won't buy new star players until the summer of 2018. I expect most of them to be important members of the squad by then, if they manage to deliver good performances.
We also weren't able to get Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and so on from Barca, so what's your point? You're just naming good players that played for Dortmund. The only players out of the lot you mentioned that we really got rejected by was Hummels. LVG wanted him for a while, but he didn't want to move until this summer, after LVG had already been sacked and we had moved on to different Mourinho targets. We probably did want Lewandowski on a free like any club in the world, but wouldn't necessarily say we got rejected. Saying that, Sir Alex chose to sign RVP over Lewandowski in summer 2012. We technically rejected Gundogan last summer, as we weren't sure about his recovery. And when Klopp was ready to move, he would imo no doubt have moved to us over Liverpool, if we were looking for a manager at the time, but we weren't.
Either way, whether you like it or not, your best players leave you every summer, when the club wants the player to stay. When was the last time that happened to United? Ronaldo in 2009 is the only one I can really think of in the last 10 years. Maybe Pogba, but he was a youth player at the time and not in his peak like the players that leave Dortmund. And on topic, Aubameyang will almost definitively leave this summer.
All the players that left either had 12 months left on their contract or a release clause. Aubameyang has neither.

"I love it at Dortmund, but I can't say that I'll stay for two more years, or five or 10. It's possible that a club could reach an agreement with Dortmund in June and I'll go.
"I want to be honest: When you are ambitious and also want to see something else... it's difficult to talk about. Some players have ambitions, and therefore they leave and want to experience something new, you know."
However, despite confirming the European champions Real Madrid were his "dream club", the prolific forward, who has scored 16 goals in just 15 league games this season, went on to add: "Yes, yes. That's true but, you know, there is not only Real Madrid in this world."
Sport Bild reported earlier this week that Real head coach Zinedine Zidane was on the lookout for a different type of player to Aubameyang.
Aubameyang, though, responded to those stories by saying: "I don't know if that's true but, also, I am not interested in it," he said. "If Real want me, they will call me one day and, if not, no problem. I live my life and am optimistic about the future."
Fussball Bild suggested he could be tempted by a reunion with his former coach Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, but he replied: "I don't think that'll happen."
"I would never join Bayern," he said. "That's for sure. That would be too hard on the Dortmund fans. Whatever they'd offer me, I'd say no."
So where is off? Manchester City, Arsenal, PSG or Us?

City to replace Aguero I reckon.
Team in need of goals the most so hopefully us.
If City will get him then we're really need to step up to the game as being on similar goal difference level to Everton is alarming enough to start doing something.

I don't really understand what Pep wants though, I mean Aubameyang is hardly a great technique player, he's a sprinter who can finish.
Yes he works hard off the ball so perhaps that's it, but I wouldn't say he would suit that slow passing game at all.
My first thought too, previously strongly linked with City and now this article appears on the same day Aguero is linked with a City exit. Hopefully not though.
Assuming Zlatan is not here longer than a year, would it be fair to say he would suit our current system better than Griezmann?
Griezmann will be probably be played on the wing or at CAM he's not a Mourinho type of striker (Costa, Higuian, Milito, Zlatan) and Ibrahimovic looks set to be here another year or two anyway.
He can't sign for us because there's no way to incorporate the number 7 into his name and it make sense.
No way did you miss Drogba off that list.
Wasn't going back that far but Drogba too of course.
Aubameyang is the striker I would love for us to sign the most. Unfortunately I can never see him coming here. I think he will go to Real when they eventually get rid of Benzema.
