“He has scored 42 goals in just 59 games since leaving Arsenal. We regret selling him out carelessly because he’s now better than even our Bukayo Saka”- Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke expresses his frustration at Mikel Arteta for selling unreal “goal machine” who left Arsenal for £0M and is now outscoring Bukayo Saka

Owner of Arsenal, Stan Kroenke, publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with manager Mikel Arteta during an open press conference regarding the decision to part ways with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Since joining Arsenal for a transfer fee of £0 million, Aubameyang has shown remarkable form, tallying 42 goals in just 59 games. Kroenke and the Arsenal management are now regretting their decision to let him go after this incredible performance.

Since leaving, “Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has proven to be an incredible goal machine,” Kroenke said. “His record is self-evident; 42 goals in 59 games is an incredible accomplishment. We sincerely apologize for hastily selling him out.

Kroenke was even more incensed about the comparison to Bukayo Saka, the current star of Arsenal. Saka has performed admirably for the Gunners, but even Saka’s contributions have been overshadowed by Aubameyang’s success after leaving Arsenal.

“Bukayo Saka has been an incredible player for us, so it goes without saying that we are incredibly proud of him,” Kroenke said. It irritates me, though, that Aubameyang is outscoring him. It’s obvious that letting him go was the wrong decision.

The reason behind Aubameyang’s exit from Arsenal was controversial at the time. Though he had won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2018–19 season and made other significant contributions to the team, his form had declined, raising concerns about his long-term stay with the Gunners. Arsenal released Aubameyang, who later signed a free transfer to a new team, in an effort to restructure the roster and save money.

Aubameyang has had a new lease on life since departing, regaining his scoring prowess and rising to the rank of Europe’s most feared forward. The fact that his goal-scoring prowess has contributed significantly to the triumph of his new team makes Arsenal’s decision to let him go seem increasingly foolish.

The manager of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, has come under fire for how he has handled the matter. Opponents contend that Arteta did not properly handle Aubameyang’s departure and did not maximize his potential. Kroenke’s recent remarks, which highlighted the club’s internal frustrations, echoed this criticism.

Kroenke said, “We believed in the decisions made at the time and trusted the process.” But now that we’ve seen Aubameyang’s amazing form, it’s obvious that our calculations were incorrect. We ought to have figured out a way to retain him and utilize his skills.

More general concerns regarding Arsenal’s transfer policy and their capacity to manage important players have been brought up by the Aubameyang situation. Supporters of the team have also expressed their worries, with many expressing their sadness at the loss of a player who has gone on to have such success in another place.

The sadness over Aubameyang’s exit should serve as a lesson for Arsenal as they continue to face the difficulties of the Premier League. It emphasizes the value of making thoughtful decisions and the possible repercussions of firing excellent employees before fully evaluating the long-term effects.

Following this disclosure, observers and supporters will surely be paying closer attention to how Arsenal’s management handles this costly error going forward.
