i cant wait to see Suarez slam a poker past chesney
Suarez doesn't score against the top teams.
Henry and the dutch skunk were both wingers before Wenger signed them.
If Arsenal are in for Draxler it's because Wenger thinks he can mould him into a 30 goal a season striker.
He is gone, you little gobbo.
He'd be something like £10m. Not a bad price, but it would only really be a stop gap. I've read that he'd be better suited as an AM tho. No way he'd ever play there with Rooney, Kagawa and Mata all in front of him in the pecking order. So while he may be a decent cm, we'd be better off saving that money for someone who's really good in the summer.

Draxler just won't move this winter.
I'm rather sure his release clause is only active in summer, so we'd look in a price ABOVE the release clause, so above 45m. Arsenal isn't even willing to pay the release clause. So why would the blue plague sell?

We bought a winger for our reserve team that's more famous for stealing a prostitute's purse and then fighting her transsexual friend than for his football skills and some guy named Shikabala for the main team.
Don't if he is any good but that's a fantastic name.

Why go for Draxler anyway when we're getting Reus
Bookmarked.

Because you're not getting Reus?
Only in my wet dreams.

Sky Germany says we're looking to sign a CM (basically Gündogan is gone/completely fucked) that can also play on the wing/CAM.
In the meantime, rumors coming from Serbia that Milos Jojic will sign for us, who looks like would be a perfect fit for the description.

Schalke would be absolutely insane to sell Draxler. They're in 5th but only 2 points behind Gladbach -- if they sell him, they're effectively waving the white flag and giving up on going for Champions League qualification.
I'm not sure what their money situation is now, but unless he sells for whatever the difference in revenue is from Champions League to Europa League (and he obviously won't), then they'd be utterly insane to sell him now. Can't see it making fiscal sense let alone sporting sense.

That's only 1m less than what they paid for him.
What happened to him anyway? He's played 8 games for them in the league. Is he just not good?
When you are locked in a small conference room with Dicky Law for multiple hours, everything begins to make sense.
It's never that straightforward. Especially when you're broke like Schalke seem to be. What guarantee is there that they get the RC in the summer? None.
So Walcott is never going to play again and Gnabry is never going to be old enough to play and instead be pushed to 4th or 5th choice winger? Seems all very short sighted to me.
Chamberlain plays on both wings but ignoring that do you think either Cazorla or Draxler will be happy to sit on the bench?
Do you think he'll get a game in CM with Ramsey, Wilshere, Arteta and Flamini ahead of him?
The only way this deal makes sense is if Wenger tries to convert him into a CF, but i don't think he has the qualities to make a world class CF.
Uh we're trying to win the league here. A forward that is injured for 6 months isn't going to help us do that. Was Chelsea signing Matic shortsighted when they have a dearth of midfielders shortsighted? After all they've got Van Ginkel.

Great, according to the Wikipedia edit I just did, Messi, CR7 and Pogba will join in summer! Get excited!
Gündogan has a fucked up back and the clubs are still desperate to sign him. A young German talent, will give you good money no matter what.
Hubris.
New Juventino? Welcome! Pizza con salsiccia ... mmmm, so good.
How many midfielders do PSG need, ffs? They already bought Pjanic.
Sure it's bad having a winger out for 6 months but what happens when he comes back from injury? There's going to be too many players for too few positions and somebody will have to go. Chelsea bought in Matic and sold Essien keeping the numbers the same.
We won't have too many players. This summer we'll be losing Bendtner and Park Chu Young. Draxler takes one of their squad spots. When Walcott comes back from injury, he fights for his place.

So while I was asleep that moron Petrosyan read my posts and tried to link Zenit to Kono? Priceless, what an idiot.
He got a serious ankle injury in September, he's struggled since then. He started one league game under Sherwood, which was against United, and his passing accuracy was 55%. He looked great before his injury but we had so many injuries that we threw him back in before he was fully fit and out of position, he's struggled. Bentaleb is probably better than him.
He's a young player who's very versatile that can play through both the middle and out left. There have already been articles written that have looked at his stats in depth to prove that he does have the skills to become a striker and that he's much more clinical in front of goal, not to mention his dribbling skills. For the next 5 months, we're already missing several players for the next month, and Walcott is out until next season. I'm almost positive Wenger does see him as a striker in the future, and having him now as backup to other positions wouldn't hurt.

Im rather partial to pizza diavola or the one with prosciutto and rugula <3
Name me a single game where Ox has played on the left for more than 10 minutes.
I think Ox will get time in mid yes. Ramsey is out for at least 3 more weeks. Jack is constantly hurt. Arteta has another two seasons at the most.
Good chance Ox starts in the midfield on Sunday.

Neuer, Rafinha, Dante, Boateng, Alaba; Kroos, Lahm; Thiago, Shaqiri, Götze; Müller
Ulreich, Sakai, Schwaab, Rüdiger, Rausch, Harnik, Leitner, Khedira, Werner, Ibisevic, Abdellaoue
Mandzukic on the bench again :lol Why not just sell him instantly?
Also, in Khedira we trust. Do it!

Shame about the finish
They don't need Draxler, to be honest. Meyer is much more talented CAM, and Farfán is a better winger than Draxler. Draxler is a nice add-on for them, but far from being vital.
It's Stuttgart, they will lose like 0-5
I remember when Khedira started crying because a rival player injured him in the WC U17
Spurs love Northeners. The club captain is from Yorkshire after all.
