I just hope he doesn't join any of our rivals if we aren't after him. Will love to see him at Milan if he decides to leave and we're not involved.
 
Really?

This is very surprising news to me. I don't have the stats but I'll check this out. I have watched Higuain a lot and I've seen him miss unbelievable sitters. I do know he also scores a lot. Same with Cavani and Zlatan. They seem to miss almost as much as they score. This is not to say I wouldn't snap them up if they are available. Just saying that those who criticize Zlatan for missing chances will also certainly have problems with these other guys.
Seemed to miss quite regularly for Madrid, but I guess he felt the pressure more. Since moving to Italy he's become much more clinical.

Yeah me too, do you know what Doutmund roughly want for him? Saw something like £70m but could be made up
 
I do not understand why we are simply not going for Lacazette yet. We should be going for 2 ready made strikers if we want to win the PL next season. Rashford will develop in 2-3 seasons if he keeps his form up, but we cannot rely on Rashford to be our first striker next season as yet. Aubameyang if he's available and Lacazette too. I remember us wanting Benzema a couple of years ago when he played for Lyon so why not him? I can imagine him going to Athletico Madrid and having 2 great seasons before being sold for a huge sum elsewhere.

Allegedly PSG offered €70M and some Chinese clubs €80M with an annual salary of €50M. If Dortmund can get China, ChItaly and QataRance into a bidding war they could get a sheikhy sum.
 

If he is available for €70m Woody should waste no time.

That's what £60m, no striker of his caliber or above will be available for less. Hopefully this will be a transfer under the radar and just come out of nowhere that we have agreed to sign him. One can hope!
 
Seems like the antithesis of Mourinho's best strikers though.
His back to goal isn't as great as Ibra, Drogba, Benzema, or Costa, but he's great on the counter and is willing to work the channels like Milito and Eto'o. I'll be surprised if Dortmund are letting him leave though.

Auba wants to leave, Dortmund can not do much.
 
I'd want him but not instead of greizmann also because he's another player well have that'll just dream of Real Madrid...


But, his recent comment of him making his decision next week makes me suspicious that we're in for him. Hopefully he adapts better than all the other Dortmund players we got

he's a player that dreams of Madrid that Madrid won't buy because he isn't a big enough name. if he Moved to United and scored a similar amount of goals as this season, Madrid would look at it like we will have to pay over £60m for a striker who is turning 29, so he won't be going to Madrid. Unless there is no one else out there in the market

At his age, there's virtually no chance of joining Madrid if he comes here.
 
Yeah, this is definitely gonna be his last chance to join Real. But I can't see them pick him up for that price when he's likely to only be a back-up player in their system anyways. He might be better than Benzema on paper, but Benzema combines well with Ronaldo. It's likely going to stay that way for another 1 or 2 years. By that time Aubameyang will be 30, which is fairly old for a player who relies heavily on pace.
 
The only player who is better than Auba is Mbappe, considering his age and upside. Auba is better than Moratta, Lukaku, Aguero, etc.

But he's not, how can you say a teenager in his debut season is better than a proven 40 goal a season striker?
He has potential yes but he isn't puttting the numbers Auba is doing.
 
He's fast as feck and can finish, would thrive with us imo. Imagine Auba on the end of B Silva and Pogba's through balls. :drool:

Question is how well will he do when his pace is of no use? A lot of times he wont have the space to run into when the opponent is sitting deep.

We need a CF that can do something like this
 
People debating whether Auba would be a good signing? Nothing wrong but we could do much worse than signing him.
 
German Kicker magazine claims he's agreed personal terms with PSG.
 
What happens to Cavani?
That's not Kicker's turf. They cover German clubs and players, not French. Unless Cavani were to move to Bayern, you wouldn't read about Cavani in Kicker magazine.

I'm worried about this too, his strength is to stretch his legs and run in behind the defense, requires his teammates to play early balls, not sure we're going to have that understanding as early as next season.

I mean, the only better long term option would be to purchase Mbappe. But in a 3-4 year term, Auba is a real deal.

Miki and Auba did fine last season. They were responsible for half of the Dortmund's 100 goals last season.

I asked for the sake of discussion, I wasn't expecting the report to have anything about Cavani.

And look what happened to Mikhi this season. Thing is, Dortmund are not a team under as much of a transition as we are and unlike us, they have a style of football that they play. I'm not saying Auba won't be a good signing, but it's really hard to be sure if playing in a congested penalty area is one of his strengths. Also, the fact that we're going to have at least 3 new faces in our squad next season, we're probably going to start off looking very disjointed, that'll only make it harder for Auba.

I suspect the question is then better directed to those who follow PSG closely.

I came to post this to ease the worries some expressed here that Auba might join United.
 
In my eyes moving from Doutmund to PSG is a step down, in terms of the league, opposition, club prestige etc.

United at this time would also be a step down, If we get champions league next season, then I'd say we would be a step sideways. We are a bigger club, in a bigger league, with a higher prestige than Doutmund and PSG's but without champions league I can't see Auba coming, Antione the same for that matter.
