Aubemeyang won’t work out. He’s a bad apple, not a team player. Him and Tuchel will fight like cat and dog.

Will be interesting to see. I read a quote on the beeb from Todd Boehly saying he was proven premier league quality etc. Etc. And I’m thinking surely this is the kind of statement the manager should be making not the owner.

From what he’s said before seems he enjoyed having him in his Dortmund squad no?

“Back in the days at Dortmund, it was a pure pleasure to have him in the squad,” Tuchel said.

“Auba was a fantastic striker, a fantastic finisher on the pitch. But, more than that, he was a fantastic worker off the pitch.

“I think he did not miss one single training in two years. Maybe he arrived five minutes late on the training ground, that can happen with him! But if he does this, he is in a hurry, he feels sorry, he still has a smile on his face.

“It was a very reliable relationship because he delivered an unbelievable amount of goals, his speed was unique in the Bundesliga and he was a crucial player. A bit of a crazy guy, but nice crazy.

“We still are in touch and exchange messages when one of us has a big win. In some ways, he will still always be my player, so I want him to succeed and have a good time wherever he is.

“This contact never fully stopped and it’s nice to see him because he’s always on for a hug and it’s nice to see him laugh. But, of course, we want to stop him and there is no exchange now before the game.”
