After hundreds of millions of crazy signings, the transfer of Barca in the winter window this season is only 6 words: spend a small amount of money to do big things. In addition to the €65 million signing of Ferrantore, veterans Alves and Traore both joined on loan, and also cleared the Brazilian midfielder Coutinho, who is the number one in the weekly salary team, to solve a big burden. However, Barca's footsteps have not stopped, former Arsenal captain Aubameyang has been infinitely close to Camp Nou, he will be given a 1.5+1 contract, that is, to play for Barca for the rest of the season and next season, after which Barca will decide whether to continue for another year depending on performance.
Although the winter window has been closed this season, there is no problem for Barca to sign the American sheep, because before this, he has been directly swept out of the door by Arsenal, and he does not even go to West Asia for training. This time to join Barca, it is also a rare opportunity for Gabon Shenfeng, so he took the initiative to choose to cut his salary, otherwise Barca with a weekly salary of 350,000 pounds is really unbearable.
The gunners' approach to stripping Aubameyang of his captain's armband and eventually sweeping the floor is debatable. After all, the beautiful sheep and sheep were late for training because they went to visit their sick mother and received them, although it violated the team rules, but it was really excusable. But the Gunners' approach of simply stripping the captain of the armband and eventually terminating the contract directly, giving such treatment to a meritorious player with 92 goals and 29 assists in 165 games, is indeed a bit chilling.
Of course, Arsenal also have their own considerations, Aubameyang's first high salary in the team is a huge burden, and in Arteta's tactical system, he is indeed inferior to the plug-and-play diligent Lacazette, so using Aubameyang's violation of the team rules, the Gunners achieved his purpose of cleaning him, but this appearance is really a bit ugly. The point is that the winter window Gunners sent away a lot of first-team players, but did not introduce any immediate combat power, this strategy of only going in and out, it is difficult to imagine that they are a team working hard for the top four of the Premier League.
Compared with the gunman, Barca, which is also deeply mired in economic crisis, is more than comfortable. The $65 million Ferran Torres has proven himself at Manchester City and the Spanish national team, with all-round play and excellent foot skills in the winger centre making Ferran a perfect fit for Xavi's tactical system. The old general Traore's amazing physical fitness and great power on the flanks will also bring great help to Harvey's platoon, and at the same time can also hit the thorn head Dembele hard. Although the veteran Alves is 38 years old, his physical condition is still in good shape, and a team like Barcelona, which is in the process of rebuilding, also needs such an experienced veteran to teach by example.
The arrival of Aubameyang has further added to Barca's attacking line, and his speed, technique and first-class shooting skills have been impressive. Although the Gunners were once struggling, but now that they can get the opportunity to play at Barca, the American sheep will definitely go all out, and it is not impossible to find their peak form. With 65 million euros to buy 3 generals and directly upgrade the entire set of fronts, Barca's operation is commendable.
It is worth mentioning that in order to sign Aubameyang, Barca president Laporte fought until after midnight and finally got his wish. As he left the office, the Barça boss excitedly waved his fist to celebrate the completion of the transfer. Now, no one can stop Barca from hitting next season's Champions League.
