He'll get goals somewhere. He just doesn't have the all round game to make in our current team. Sure he'll get you goals played as the center main man. but there is no link up play whatsoever. Now that doesn't always matter. But the way our current team is set up is entirely set up around having a forward sacrifice himself and play with his back against the goal (Lacca) while the youngers from the wings/wingback and midfield bomb forward and do the bizz.

Of course Arteta is likely going to sit him down and say, "look you little *******s, Auba is gone. That position is free, you have that. Lacca may leave on a free too. Do you want the contract? No other big team is offering you a starter position. Sign or suck my balls."
