The Return of Aubameyang: Good Deal or Risky Bet for OM?

So, friends, it's official, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is making his return to Ligue 1, and especially with us, at Olympique de Marseille! We all got excited seeing him score goals against Villarreal, but is it really the big transfer move we were expecting? Some, like Florent Gautreau on RMC, temper the enthusiasm a little. And you, what do you think? Let's delve into the question together!

Aubameyang: A Much-Awaited Return, But At What Cost?

Let's not kid ourselves, seeing "Auba" come back brings back memories and feels great. But let's not forget that the comebacks of former stars don't always work out. Pogba, Giroud... we know them, right? Their peak might be behind them. And then, let's be honest: Ligue 1 can't always afford to snub these kinds of profiles, especially us at OM, with the Champions League in sight. But is betting on a player like Aubameyang really preparing for the future?

Should We Prioritize Experience or Bet on Youth?

Gautreau mentioned it: why not try a younger profile, like Malik Fofana? OK, he might be "too expensive" according to some, but in the long term, isn't it more logical? Can you imagine Fofana, barely 20, exploding at the Vélodrome! All right, there's the budget factor... but shouldn't we invest in progress rather than gamble on a comeback that, to be frank, only works two times out of three? Shall we discuss?

Can Aubameyang Settle for a Secondary Role?

Here's the real debate. If Aubameyang accepts being a luxury joker, like a super sub à la Giroud with the Blues, it can clearly add value both in the locker room and on the field. Experience, character, winning mentality... you don't lose that with age! But will he really settle for a rotation role, having often been the star wherever he went? Do you believe in this scenario?

The Aubameyang Bet: A Measure Risk or a Gamble?

Personally, I say it's a bet that can pay off big, but we shouldn't put all our chips on him. OM must think of a global strategy, both on the field and in its recruitment policy. We don't want a "flash in the pan" effect. Does this return really fit into the club's long-term project? It's up to you to judge, OM family!

And you, friends, are you in the optimistic camp or do you share the skeptics' doubts? Come debate in the comments: Aubameyang, masterclass or bad idea?
