Should Arsenal sell Aubameyang?
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was dropped from the Arsenal team in their win over Southampton at the weekend due to a disciplinary breach and it wasn't the first time it happened. He was a sub against Everton the week before and his recent performances on the pitch haven't been up to his standards. So should Arsenal sell their captain?
Ever since he signed that big money contract a year ago, Aubameyang's performances haven't been the same as they were before he signed the deal. He's not scoring as many goals and he's not being as reliable as he was before. He was considered as Arsenal's talisman at the time he signed that contract because of how important he was for the team. But for the last year or so he hasn't played like their main man or even their captain. He's had issues off the pitch which have lead him to being dropped twice which is not acceptable for a club captain and he's appeared to have lost his goal scoring touch.
After playing well without him against Southampton along with the last two points I made, Arsenal may have a big decision to make when it comes to the January transfer window.
Newcastle job made even tougher for Eddie Howe
We all knew that Eddie Howe had a tough job on his hands the moment he became Newcastle manager and his job has already been made more difficult following his sides' 4-0 defeat to Leicester at the weekend. His side were all over the place defensively in the game like they have been all season and I really can't see them improving in that department unless they bring in some new defenders in January which won't be easy.
They could be cut adrift come New Year as they have some difficult games coming up with Liverpool, Man City and Man United in their next three games. As they have one of the worst defences in the league, you don't really give them much of chance in those games given the opposition they'll be facing. They do have the January transfer window to bring in some reinforcements, but whoever they bring in won't necessarily saves their season.
Has Conor Gallagher been the signing of the season so far?
Conor Gallagher has been been in excellent form for Crystal Palace this season and he continued his excellent season with two more goals in their 3-1 win over Everton at the weekend. He's been an excellent signing for the Eagles since he's been there and with the impact he's had; Has he been the signing of the season?
To be a signing of the season you need to have improved your team in a certain area and I feel that Gallagher has been to some extent. He's added more goals to the team by being an extra attacking threat which has in turn eased the pressure off talisman Wilfried Zaha. The Eagles have relied heavily on Zaha for the last few seasons but with the season that Gallagher is having, Palace have more than one goal threat in their side which they haven't had for a few seasons. If he carries on doing what he's doing, he'll definitely be up there for the best signing of the season.
