They've overpaid but it's a very good acquisition imo and his goal record is very good.....and that very good is in THIS league. It's difficult to get genuine quality with the paucity of options around right now so I think from there point of view it is positive.
What you don't want to be doing is overpaying on bang average players in most of your deals......that is when you have a problem....not when you slightly over pay for genuine quality.
Realistically they aren't going to get into the top 4 almost regardless of what they do so they have to take a slightly longer term view.

Borussia Dortmund have warned Arsenal against bidding for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, insisting the striker is not for sale.
Gabon international Aubameyang has been lauded as one of the Bundesliga's best strikers after netting 26 times last season.
Arsenal reportedly failed with a bid of £28.7million for the former St Etienne player and reports in the German press suggest the Gunners will come back in with a renewed bid of over £30million.
But, having allowed Ciro Immobile to join Sevilla, Dortmund are determined to hold on to Aubameyang and are hopeful of extending his deal at Signal Iduna Park.
Speaking to German magazine Kicker, Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc said: "We rely heavily on Aubameyang - that is no secret.
"I've heard a lot about this (a transfer to Arsenal) but I can say very clearly that it is blocked for him. He is simply not for sale."
Aubameyang has three years left on the five-year contract he signed at Dortmund in the summer of 2013.
lol Aubeyamang. If there's anyone in Dortmund's front line we should be going all in for it's Reus. Really surprised none of the major players have made a move for him yet.
Come on Wenger, pull your finger out here.
Or he'll bravely shift the blame to his two assistants to save his own skin like he did this summer. :arry:Quote:

No way in hell would an elite striker of the calibre of Benzema, Cavani etc move to them or even a top talent like Lacazette.
Wenger could and should have bought Aubameyang in 2013, but instead put his hope in San-No-goal. His talent seeking radar is still circa 1998. He prefers to buy cheap tat and later when desperate pay over the odds for other teams proven players.. This season City and united are adding layers of talent while we simply consolidate with what we have.Quote:

I am happy to go along with Coq as the DM and love Wumger's loyalty but Morgan for 25? should have had him IMO
I don't think we go for a direct Giroud replacement but we are obviously looking for interchangables so a Pedro or the guy from BD is what I think we should be looking at......can see a deal for Benzema taking fuc&ing years.....sort the squad out now
heaven equals Vidal and Abemeyang and DM because I don't know who's left
That wasn't my original argument at all :shrug:Quote:

Hopefully that will continue although it's not looking too promising.
The manager should be putting the long term future of the club above the short term, short sighted views of the fans. We all want success and we all want it now, Now, NOW!Quote:
I imagine developing your own player is more satisfying for a manger but should a manager be putting his own satisfaction and ideals above the needs of his own players, the fans and club? Does it outweigh the satisfaction of winning silverware? Those are the questions that’s been eating away at most fans for years now.
But in an era where billionaires are spunking hundreds of millions to buy success and we were paying off a huge stadium loan, a bit of pragmatism was required.
I agree with FY that we could have spent more in that era - it did sometimes seem to come down to a million here and there, but none of us really knows what goes on behind the scenes.
Now we have new financial deals in place we are spending more money and can do so without having to sell to balance the books, in the last 2 years Wenger has done that and it has yielded results.
Not the big prize yet, but we have a squad which is very close to competing now IMO. It's the best squad we've had for a long time. We do need a bit more up front but the level of player who would improve us in that area doesn't grow on trees.
I think the biggest improvement we could make is to sign a goalscorer. I have no idea who, though. The players who would obviously improve us wouldn't be available.
Yes it was. When referring to our activity before the new deals, this was your response.Quote:

It was never a 'stage'. We didn't have the money. Now we do, he's spending it.
It's all there if you want a refresh.
Yes. That was in response to a point about him not signing established players and preferring to sign younger players being 'a stage'.
I never said he didn't have any money at all, but we didn't have the money to go out and by a Sanchez or an Ozil.
Now we do, and we have.
You always do this. Wilfully misrepresent my actual views, attack things I've not said and then basically call me a liar when I correct your misunderstanding.
Pretty lazy straw-man stuff.
