I always hate

I just read some quotes from Aubameyang earlier stating he would never entertain the idea of joining us because we apparently messed him around in 2013, showed him around the ground and then after everything just didn’t initiate contact again, I just think that’s a really stupid way to think, it’s 2018 now and a lot has changed (not that I want him after saying that but you get my
.

Aubemayang is an absolute thick headed spoilt prima Donna brat. Have to read about the turd every week in the German papers.
Just wait for the comments if the gooners are desperate enough to buy him.

He's a very good defender. Just not suited for us/premier league. He starts every game for Roma and performs very well.

Ive seen the same switching off in a recent Roma game unfortunatley, think it was Juventus Roma.

Allow me to explain to Fazio what the problem at Spurs was. He was too slow. And shit in the Prem. Better suited to "duffer" pace play. Moving on...

Football player makes mistake. He's still a starter every game for them for two seasons.

Sorry Tiger, I re-read your original post and changed to agree. Situation is similar to our former error prone keeper who went to Watford and performs to a suitable level for them, but we upgraded and have better.

He wasn't complete rubbish in the PL though, he could of easily played in a mid-table club, very good in the air or if you are a team who are happy to sit deep. The problem is at Tottenham we play a very high line and he clearly is not suited to that kind of play.

Too slow. Plays in slower leagues and looks a better player shock. Along with about a million other players I could mention.
Is amazing though how so many struggle here but look mustard elsewhere.
Works visa-versa as well though, the best example being Coutinho who was considered a complete flop at Inter but pretty quickly showed himself to be of high quality at Liverpool.

However many players have looked better in the PL than other leagues like Ighalo, Chimbonda, Marez, Demba Ba, Ashley Cole, Joe Hart, Donovan, Odemwingie, Drogba, Anelka, Michael Owen, Adebayor, Viera and Henry just to name a few.

Changing environments, clubs, styles of football, culture etc. can both benefit and hinder footballers thats not just reserved to 'the best league in the world tm'. The issue though is more money in the PL means its rare for people to move and give another league a go, particularly if they are english so I think many fans are less attuned to simply understanding how hard changing a league can be.

Did anyone watch the game last night? Was Fazio pretty good?
