I'm guessing Chelsea had Arsenal by the short and curlies.
Arsenal really wanted Aubameyang.
Dortmund wouldn't sell Aubameyang unless they had a replacement striker lined up.
Dortmund would take Batshuayi as a replacement.
Chelsea agreed but only if Arsenal sold them Giroud.
If Chelsea said no to Batshuayi then the Aubameyang deal was most likely off. £18m is cheap.
I see the *taps nose* baton has been handed over to a new forumenger...
(I await the "It was sarcasm" followups...)
I think £18m for a 31 year old with 18 months left on his contract is a good price to be honest.
And of course it was sarcasm, I get all my transfer gossip from the internet like everyone else.
