Why did they sell him though? Because of Stöger? A coach that'll be gone in a few months?
It's not like they have something better expect for the greek. Stupid move.
The plan was always to sell him summer 2017, but then the Dembele story happened and Dortmund took him off the market. Aubameyang not so amused to miss out on such a pile of money and started to force a move using the typical dirty tricks, so better get rid now.
Obviously the best scenario would have been selling him in summer, but all in all its the right time to sell him economically. I also think Dortmund should have been prepared better, as it was obvious they need a new top striker summer 2018 and they already should have a replacement, but some transfer decisions have been questionable the last years, to say it kindly. Isak is showing good potential, but this kid is 18 and not reliable. We ll see how Batshuayi is doing.
Next summer is going to be crucial for them. I would get rid of Sokratis (really cant understand how people can rate that dumb feck), Schmelzer, Sahin, Rode, Yarmolenko, Schürrle, Durm and Weidenfeller.
