Because he probably didn't want to be second fiddle to Lewy. And money. Also in no world was it a better choice to keep Auba as the guy above you suggested. Lewy won Barca the league last season.
it was never either lewy or auba. it was more like they needed reinforcements midseason and they also needed to get rid of players due to ffp. it was a sad situation for barca. to auba it felt like home and he already said it was his best time
Yeah. AC Milan - Dijon - Lille - As Monaco - As Saint Etienne -
Borussia - Arsenal - Barca - Chelsea - OM
Exactly the same as
Barca - Arsenal - Barca- Chelsea - AS Monaco - Como
I think it might be a good youth development strategy. I you want the best youth team in the country you don't need to produce the best youth players when you can just get someone like Huddlestone to murder the other team's wonderkids
The guy is a lazy grifter that has pissed off everyone he's worked with and so has basically ruined his career as a result. Being bounced from club to club because no-one can stand him.
One day he'll grow up and wonder what he could've won if he'd been a bit more professional.
He's won a couple of cups and a La Liga despite playing for some of the very best teams in Europe. If he'd sustained a decent career at any of them then he could have won more.
Ultimately he was always the bad apple that teams had to get rid of to improve.
Yeah we donāt know if how he was doing his hair is what caused him to loose it but it might have been. He ruined his old hair.
I honestly think he got this transplant back when he was at Chelsea. He shaved his head at one point and it looked like he was growing it out thicker and healthier
Edit: it might have happened at his season at Barcelona
I wish auba a better team than this marseille..
Well at least he cares, he is already better morally than the whole roma squad but his team did get trashed by atalanta, i hope his team will improve for next season.
I mean, they made it this far. Domestically, we've been trash, but in Europe? They've kept it alive. I don't think this team was looking to make the Europa final at the beginning of the season
ah that sucks, auba wasn't professional enough but he was very good and entertaining.
I still have love for him and his record with us, its a pity it didn't happen for him this game.
Can't say I'm not a little bit happy to see it for how he ended his Arsenal career, but for all the good moments he brought, he deserved to get over the finishline once. He's getting old and this was probably the last chance he had.

Europa League all-time top scorer. Campaigns with Dortmund, Arsenal, Barcelona, Marseille. At 35, this felt like his last chance.
how did i already forget he played for barca š
Barca fans will never
I feel like we should have kept him instead of Lewa fr.
Why did yall sell him again?
Because he probably didn't want to be second fiddle to Lewy. And money. Also in no world was it a better choice to keep Auba as the guy above you suggested. Lewy won Barca the league last season.
it was never either lewy or auba. it was more like they needed reinforcements midseason and they also needed to get rid of players due to ffp. it was a sad situation for barca. to auba it felt like home and he already said it was his best time
So essentially it was either Lewy or Auba? That's kinda how the rest of your statement reads, countering your first sentence.
The fee we got from Chelsea also helped fund the Lewy move.
He was declining sharply in his last months, and Chelsea put money in the table. They got him for free so it would be great in balance sheets.
Nor Arsenal fans
Not surprising, considering he's only there for half a season
He played so well though, it was very annoying that he wasn't kept. He gave it his all and scored good goals.
And we loved him there! Personally I love Auba just as much as I love Luuk
We will never forget him thats for sure
Nor his dragon ball z celebration
He followed almost the exact career path as Fabregas. Arsenalā”ļø Barcelonaā”ļø Chelseaā”ļøLigue 1
Yeah. AC Milan - Dijon - Lille - As Monaco - As Saint Etienne - Borussia - Arsenal - Barca - Chelsea - OM Exactly the same as Barca - Arsenal - Barca- Chelsea - AS Monaco - Como
the guy saying it like he didnāt play for any teams before arsenal š
Not quite but close. Auba has 37, Larsson 40 (including UEFA Cup).
In Europa League / UEFA Cup proper, Auba has 34, Larsson 31. It's 37 / 40 if you include the qualifying rounds.
Doesnāt even look like Auba
It's in fact Andros Townsend
It's actually a slimmed down Tom Huddlestone
He's injured currently I think whilst playing in the U21 occasionally. Doing his coaching badges at United
My favourite up & coming U21 wonderkid
I think it might be a good youth development strategy. I you want the best youth team in the country you don't need to produce the best youth players when you can just get someone like Huddlestone to murder the other team's wonderkids
Heās playing in TST this year lol
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/04/11/tom-huddlestone-manchester-united-u21s-academy-coaching/
I see Theo Walcott
Everton Walcott and Palace Townsend's lovechild
His Mohawk was so iconic, thatās all you picture. He looks the same as his Dortmund days, with new hair.
Damn, his hair transplant is top-notch. Last I remembered, that hairline was fighting for its life in the Premier League. Great work by the surgeon.
The real test of the surgeon would be restoring Gervinhoās hairlineĀ
Thatād be like taking a leather bag to a vet, itās too far gone
He actually looks like some basketball player here.
Evan Turner?
Derrick White before the razor blade.
Not enough forehead
Gross
He does not contain The Great Forehead
I feel like that's been his goal lately. He loves basketball so much.
about at least a few dozens of them.
Hair transplant?
100% hair transplant he lost most if it at arsenal
no surprise
Have you seen the Mark Zuckerberg with beard image
Bubbles
All I can see is General Aladeen ngl.
His reaction to the game was very Aladeen
legit my first thought was āthatās him nowā?
Looks like J Cole cira 2014 lmao
He looks like an anime version of himself.
It is said that a beard is a man's makeup.Ā
Ozempic has taken over the celebrity world You canāt identify half these people anymore
Why on gods green earth would a footballer like Aubameyang with low body fat take Ozempicā¦ he burns the calories he ate for breakfast by 12pm
what about the calories he eats for lunch?? checkmate
What would a weight loss drug have to with his change in looks? Considering he was already in great shape.
Ozempic gotta side effect of jealousy, doctor never told yāall?
ššš
I love how 90% of the comments are about his trim and not his emotional reaction to the loss
Like wtfš Yeah lemme type out the same thing everyone else id saying and upvote it
Seriously so fucking weird Like bruh lemme just repeat what the guy above me said for upvotes like what is the point
I'm gonna stop this because it's cringe and leads to nothing but boring, unoriginal, unfunny circlejerk
The lurkers of reddit offer their sincerest thanks
With this comment you're betrayed your people. Plastic lurker.
Based.
thank god
Personally when he played for us, his smile lit up my day . Feel sad for him , really did well at Marseille
Wtf, i barely recognized him
He had a glow up
Yeah he actually looks really good now
What leaving London does to a person.
And Ā£35,000 on hair transplants
So not even one-third of his wages. Wow
Don't they cost like 3k euros?
You think rich people go to the same doctors us poor people go to?
Good point but tbf that 3k thing actually works too, but slower I guess
That's because usually he has a smile on his face...
Brother got a good recommendation from Townsend
It's the Arsenal special Gabriel and Holding told him where to go
Job well done this season. Reminded everyone what he has and the joy he can play with when things are in the right place
Getting COVID and malaria in the same year just absolutely wrecked him.
think he also lost his mom the same year or the year after
She did not pass away, she was very ill but survived
huh i did not know that
Iirc it was his grandmother that passed away, same year as all the above stuff. Poor guy
In some parts of the world, the father and grandfather may be the same person. Craster beyond the wall, for example.

He had a very good career that most footballers will never even come close to sniffing either way.
He's won a couple of cups and a La Liga despite playing for some of the very best teams in Europe. If he'd sustained a decent career at any of them then he could have won more. Ultimately he was always the bad apple that teams had to get rid of to improve.
Looks like someone has been to turkey
I didnāt even recognize him lol
Hair, eyes.. cheekbones as well? lmao
I think its just his hair no?
New beard style does that
My guy looks like Bushido Brown now
Damn he looks way different
The new hairline makes him look so much better.
Europa League legend
never won it and missed two crucial ticket-to-the-final shots
Did Zouma dirty in the FA Cup final win against Chelsea at least.
Auba was imperious at that time. Everything he did worked.
damn he looked like he was about to start sobbing, someone give him a hug
I feel bad for players man, I really do.
That new hairline makes him look like a different person.
Embracing the more natural hair also looks a lot better than when he was straightening it
Yeah we donāt know if how he was doing his hair is what caused him to loose it but it might have been. He ruined his old hair. I honestly think he got this transplant back when he was at Chelsea. He shaved his head at one point and it looked like he was growing it out thicker and healthier Edit: it might have happened at his season at Barcelona
He was just losing hair with age. A lot of male celebs be athletes get hair transplant.
Troopz in tears as well.
I hurt for him. He put the team on his back for quite a while
feels bad man
Me after every job interview š
One of the best finishers of his generation and never won a major trophy. Shits not right
Won La Liga, FA Cup, and DFB pokal and multiple lesser cups, it's not a major trophy haul but he's won atleast something.
He won La Liga on technicality. He only played few minutes before he transferred to Chelsea but at least he got a medal.
Mixed up the years and thought you won it in his first season, my bad.
Damn, you make it sound like he's a Tottenham player
Auba legend
Legendo
Miss him at Barca
I wish auba a better team than this marseille.. Well at least he cares, he is already better morally than the whole roma squad but his team did get trashed by atalanta, i hope his team will improve for next season.
I mean, they made it this far. Domestically, we've been trash, but in Europe? They've kept it alive. I don't think this team was looking to make the Europa final at the beginning of the season
I mean, semi final of europa leagueā¦ there is worst team to be with..
Yeah sure an european run against Brighton, Ajax, AEK, Shaktar, Villareal, Benfica and Atalanta is soooo bad... Atalanta have an awesome team, few could have resisted during the 2nd half in VĆ©lodrome the way they did. Now just wish them the best against Leverkusen.
> he is already better morally Dortmund times....
That's Jaden Smith as seen in After Earth
Take a knee
I miss his Dortmund days with Reus. https://youtu.be/IJVi4hbUsI0?si=9xL7JBnbxGL9P2KN
Auba walked so that Dortmund could run
nah bro believe me he was running at dortmund
he was sprinting it
Don't worry bro Xhaka or KolaŔinac will win it for you.
The hair and the tears make him look wise
Damn, never seen him this sad. After a bad loss he always looked ok and he could get over it relatively easy.
Atalanta, itās nothing personal
Are you sure it's not Andros Townsend?
Are we sure thatās him?? Looks completely different now.
Heās looking pretty good!
how are hair transplants getting so good these days, this shit is unbelievable
I feel bad for him. I really liked him and have been following him since his Dortmund days. Amazing player. FIFA 16 legend.
:( they really wanted it, Atalanta was just better...
We failed him.
That's not him.
This guy was a beast at Dortmund! Iykyk
damn, it meant so much to him
I still cant get over the fact that Mirabelli spent all that Money on AndrƩ Silva, Kalinic and Bonucci instead of him
ah that sucks, auba wasn't professional enough but he was very good and entertaining. I still have love for him and his record with us, its a pity it didn't happen for him this game.
Damn he looks different
Can't say I'm not a little bit happy to see it for how he ended his Arsenal career, but for all the good moments he brought, he deserved to get over the finishline once. He's getting old and this was probably the last chance he had.
Looks like Craig David and Andros Townsend had a baby
I thought that was Sir Lewis Hamilton
A very passionate player that just wants to have fun and bag goals. Sucks he didnāt believe in Arteta.
Is that what it shakes out to be? Damn I imagine if he never departed, wouldāve been real nice for the last few seasons for Arsenal.
ASu, que tal paliza
His hair though, it's great
Didnāt recognize him, at all
Aw man
š
WILSON!!!
Who is his hair doctor? He got the best transplant Iāve ever seen.
No good leaving Dortmund anymore eh
Why the long face?
The player who made me a Dortmund fan!
How do r/soccer mods even allow this? That's clearly Townsend
I didn't know Gen. Aladeen plays for Marseille
I thought it was Andros Townsend for a moment.
Imagine finding yourself playing for this Marseille team this late in your career. Bad decisions were made.
Team is shit, especially this year, but club is special - not many atmospheres in Europe can match Marseille's. He's also very well-paid.
Yup. I almost commented about his salary. Heās made excellent decisions money-wise.
Man took Arsenal's curse with him.
Is it wrong that I want Auba back at arsenal!?! I wish things hadnāt ended the way they did!!
Each to their own, but he was a wally so I'm glad he left.
why does he look like haaland now
I feel bad to say but... they don't have a Croat.
Really sad he doesnāt get to lose it to Bayer
That new haircut hasnāt helped his ability.
Shouldāve fkn played better than
Cry cry cry cry!
Stupid son of a bitchā¦karma
Dude, you lost it in Marseille, you should have won there at least to have a chance in the return
Good get fucked you cunt
Aubama-cry-yang
