BERLIN Jerry Rice Hat , Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- The Eastern Dortmund suburb Brackel is not what you would call a cozy spot. Not now in winter time. A gusty wind whistles unimpeded in the fans' ears as they wait for their admired stars. The roundabout right in front of the Blacks and Yellows training ground is said to be the best spot to catch a glimpse of the Borussia Dortmund players as they slow down their fancy cars.


Right here, hardly 50 meters away from the well-guarded gate protecting coaching staff and players from prying eyes, fans always knew when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was approaching. You could hear him before you could see him due to his sport cars providing a loud roaring sound that supporters remember.


But things have changed for fans. Their star has let them all down; at least that is what they feel. The 29-year-old took off in a private Learjet for London to start a new chapter with Premier League side Arsenal FC. Every season is said to be worth up to 10 million euro net for him.


Having signed an agreement with the Gunners leaves 63.75 million euro in Borussia's cash box, but deep wounds remain as discussions about Aubameyang's value continue. Some claim to have him around was like setting the fox to guard the henhouse as his constant provocative behavior harmed the clubs progress. Others talk about the team's dependency on his goals as he has scored 172 in 213 games.


Despite this irrevocably damaged relationship, Aubameyang transmitted a last statement in a social media channel for Dortmund fans Joe Montana Hat , apologizing for his misbehavior. "Sorry for all I did the last month. Maybe it was not the best way. I made mistakes but never meant to. Ha ha ha. Everyone knows Auba is crazy. And yes I am a crazy guy. Thank you for four great years," the striker commented admitting he forced the club to let him go despite a valid contract.


Now silence has returned to Brackel and a struggling club, once among Europe's best, is trying to recover and get everyone's feet behind the line. In addition to going through disastrous months with Ousmane Dembele blackmailing the side to allow him to join Barcelona, followed by Aubameyang's immature performance Reuben Foster Hat , the club is still suffering from an insane bomb-attack on the team bus and the club leaders not getting along with head coaches like Thomas Tuchel and Peter Bosz.


This Friday evening, when facing FC Cologne in the Bundesliga, Borussia has the
