Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has embarrassed his old club Arsenal with his remarkable scoring record since joining Barcelona.
The Gabon international has scored 10 goals for Barca, while Arsenal have managed just 12 as a team since their former star striker left the Emirates Stadium for the Nou Camp.
This is quite a stat, and it will make miserable reading for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who for some reason felt it was the right call to let Aubameyang leave in January after also freezing him out of his first-team plans.

Aubameyang may have been struggling for the Gunners towards the end of his time at the club, but it was certainly criminal to let him go without a replacement already being secured.
If Arteta’s side end up missing out on the top four, this is surely going to come back to haunt the Spanish tactician.
It was all down to Mr. Aubameyang’s psyche. He felt he was bigger than Arsenal Football Club after all we begged him to stay when his contract was up, offered him the biggest paycheck he was to ever get as a player, made him our Captain and honored him duly, instead of gratitude, he threw everything back at our faces and went to Barcelona to beg because as he said, “He was now home” We wish him well. May his goals never dry up.
That is what makes Arteta an amateur coach in the first place his problem with Aubanyang is something he would have sort in house but because of his immaturity he blow it at the same time he allowed him go for free knowing fully well that he is marksman any day even we who are not coach know it he wants to save money for Stan Kroenke the money that is not his own may be is what Stan Kroenke need he bought 6 players in the summer of 2021/22 and allowed more than 6 left in January including Aubanyang who is fooling who if this is the way Edu, Arteta and Stan Kroenke together with the board members are going to run the club no way I know all of them that are behind Aubanyang going out are all regretting it but they will not tell us if someone like Wenger is the one managing Aubanyang such things will not happen there many ways God exposes someone this is the time that is why I can’t blow Arteta’s trumpet may God help us
Agree, top 4 finish seems increasingly difficult & it is directly linked to not having a striker like AuBa. Last year transfer market management was a mess. I think Edu should be sacked.
Dude, Wenger let RVP go to Man U… what you takin bout!
Mikel Arteta is a an example of a Team Manager who is not a Player Manager. He is implacable and vindictive. And, in the name of discipline, he manifests a gross lack of social intelligence.
