He's been on it for a while. It's certainly a bizarre account, I think he's taking a leaf out of Boris Johnson's book (except he ordered the killings of people/killed them himself, rather than simply being a posh oaf). I remember seeing this on twitter when he first joined:
Hazard was more of a sure thing. He scored 22 goals in his final season. Draxler hasn't even got close to that
That's 6 months away. It's possible by then they might think its worth it. Or they still wont think it's worth it. I don't know.
Also this.

But it won't drop, either. Look at the players we have in his position, nobody expects him to play. Just like, don't know, Mata's price didn't drop when he didn't play much in 2010.
Lol ok so did you forget what the disagreement was about? Barzul claiming 37 is too high for a potential world beater. His contract goes till 2018. Getting him in summer for 37 is now fine?
But wouldn't there be less pressure at Chelsea I'd assume? Better overall players so wouldn't have to carry the team. Look at players like Willian for example, big transfer fee but not an unbearable amount of pressure and it's not like there's a lack of German players playing in London. I think we would have excelled at Chelsea if he went there. I could however be wrong.

Also, another basic point Arsenal fans here are not getting is this:
- the contract runs until 2018
- Schlacke doesn't want to sell now
- thus, the release clause is above his current value and much rather aimed at his 2016/2017 value
- so that it's easy for them to tell cheap-ass clubs like Arsenal to fuck off with their low bids

They have a new album? NICE
Somehow all this does not apply all of a sudden.
At this moment when we have more pressing needs, yes 37 is too high. Especially when he has been hurt.
And apparently the RC isn't active until summer so we don't actually know what Schalke were asking for.
Yep! I did the Pledge Music crowdfunding of it and they released the download on the 27th. I was kind of annoyed because I think it was available in shops or at least on iTunes starting on the 20th. Not on any streaming site in the US yet.. no clue if it is in Europe or not.
Plenty of reports say the £37m buy-out clause doesn't kick in until the Summer. Even if Arsenal agreed to pay that now, this way Schalke can strengthen their CL push and get the same fee later on.
So if Arsenal want to buy him now they would need to offer more than the £37m, in theory.

Maybe, maybe not, impossible to tell. I'd lean towards the move being a good 2-3 years too early, though.
That's what I meant. Boris does this goofy, comical act to hide his insidious beliefs, GA does a goofy, comical act in the hope people are desensitised to the fact he was a killer.
For a split second I could be amused by his bizarre twitterings then that same realisation hits me.
That's why I 'like' Martin McGuinness more out of the two. At least he is honest about his IRA past.

Milch, would you be interested in a friendly avatar bet on the result of our CL encounter?
Loser wears an avatar of the winner's choosing until the winner's team is eliminated from the CL.

So glad that I won't have to see this on a regular basis anymore.
She's 83 and deluded, pls
So what you're saying is he isn't going for cheaper than 37? Thanks for clearing that mess up.

Sure, but you must consider that I can always change my avatar to Ballack. ALWAYS
Hahahahahahahaha
To give Ashley Young even less competition. Smashley Young and Antonio Valencia star in:
The Undropables.
In that case Schalke are probably aski g for more than 37m because they know They are gonna get a minimum of 37 in 6 months so they have no reason to accept less than that now and are hoping Arsenal are desperate enough to pay more than that now.

Lol, excellent.
I eagerly await my new avatar.
I mean, I'm not saying anything for definite. I'm certainly not "ITK." When you see the English media (y'know, the places Arsenal fans are likely to read) saying that the deal is on now and the German media saying that, at best, there might be some kind of tentative agreement for a deal in the Summer, it seems kind of obvious what's going on.
I do think there's definitely genuine interest though. We were linked with Gotze and Hazard for years, but it was never like this.
honestly, if we don't buy Draxler, it's not like we will be buying anyone elseso why should I care if we're paying for potential and his release clause doesn't accurately reflect his current value? we should pay the release clause and we should do it now, rather than wait for other clubs to take him in the summer.
I think it's obvious that if you pay the money, you're buying both the potential and the right to be the only bidder for his signature (since, let's face it, if other clubs come in during the summer, he will go to them).
if his release clause only activates in the summer, then Draxler isn't coming to Arsenal. it's that simple.

You're lucky there aren't any since Salzburg smashed Bayern 3-0 like a week ago.
Lol, it was more of you proving my point without you even knowing.
Hopefully others will, I see jtb has.
Yeah, I read about that. Even Beckenbauer was mad. From what I understood the players weren't taking it very serious in that game
You were making a compelling point till you decided to call us cheap-ass. Just because we aren't bankrolled by billionaires, doesn't mean we are cheap. Just means we spend within our means, even then we were able to 40m pounds on one player.

Henriquez only has 5 goals in 15 games in the Spanish 2nd division. He's only played 10 minutes in Zaragoza's last two games. I think he needs another loan next season before playing for United for the benefit of United and him. How can he develop if he doesn't get playing time?
I've always said that Lingard can become a United squad player, but nothing more than that. I mostly say that because a lot of United fans elsewhere always hype him up. They don't realize how hard it is to be a regular first team member for United and that almost every youngster will fail at making it at United. The only shit player that has managed to sneak his way into the first XI is Cleverley.
Lingard has improved his finishing, but other parts of his game are good, but never outstanding. He's like the Welbeck of wingers. He'll link up play, has good technique, has good decision making, has good pace, etc... The problem is that not one of those qualities are top class. He doesn't have Lennon pace. He doesn't have technique like Nani. He doesn't have passing abilities like Adnan. His dribbling isn't like Giggs, and so on.
I like Vermijl over Varela. He just seems more solid. I think he would be a good back up for Rafael next season. I don't really like Keane. I always feel that he has mistakes in him, but he somehow always gets rated over Thorpe. Thorpe is shorter, but he's a great reader of the game and he likes to distribute the ball like Evans. It's baffling why he hasn't gotten a loan deal yet.
I think Cole can make it at United too, but unless he has a huge spike in development he'll be a squad player at best.

Salzburg was massive, tho.
they have quality talent and looks like the coach is pretty good too. They basically played Heynckes' tactics vs. Barcelona
