This fake Prince Harry show on Fox is absurd. These bitches are going to be so salty when they find out he's just a random bloke from Hertfordshire....

Park Ji Legend. Hope he takes it. He will become Park Ji Swag
Arsenal will ban him appearing at The Emirates for fear of his clutch aura rubbing off on the United players.
Shinji not getting it done.

You're just angry your Park is shit.
Who?
GK I really don't care. As long as he is a solid backup i'll be happy.
From everything I have read and seen of Aurier he looks like a good choice. Huge Arsenal fan and it's ligue 1 so I am hoping we wrap that up quickly.
Bender is my 1st choice for DM. Bayer had a bad season so hopefully Bender is open to leaving. Hopefully 20 something will get it done.
If we can't get Bender I want Schneiderlin. Already has PL experience and wants to play in the CL. Think we would have a good chance at him.
Sanchez>Draxler>Vela for me. Think we will end up with Vela.
Striker is tough. Hopefully Madrid go after Suarez and we can try and get Benzema. I know some people here don't like him but I think he has tons of talent and would be a huge signing for us. If we can't get Benzema I would be ok with either Remy or Bony. Bony preferred but I think Remy is more likely.
I know we badly need a striker but I will be livid if we don't get a DM. Plenty of options available, unlike striker, and none of them are going to cost and arm and a leg.

Vela has outperformed Draxler the past two seasons. He's also a lot cheaper.
Speaking of Shinji
Speaking of Shinji
There is no real excuse for a striker either. We have the money, been 2 years the position has been a problem and there are players available if we're willing to pay for them. £45m will get you Benzema, we could go for Rodrigo, even 60m for Cavani although that would mean we can't get anyone else but the players are there. It's all down to money, not availability.
The only way to make a world class striker available is to offer top dollar.
good list. hopefully we can get one world class player (striker would be ideal, though a genuinely top class CM like Fabregas or someone would be acceptable if we still got Remy) on top of that.
would really love Sanchez to come to Arsenal, talented and can help with the directness we've been lacking

He would help you win now and is a lot cheaper. Draxler will not be worth whatever price you pay because he's currently overhyped. Bundesliga gaf is right.
This sentence doesn't make sense.

Sanchez would be outstanding at Arsenal. He has pace, can score, assist and another target for Ozil. Walcott and Sanchez on the wings and we'll be deadly. Remy or Bony along with Giroud and we'll be alright for goals I feel provided Sanchez and Walcott are there.
Cesc is a long shot to leave Barca. If he leaves I'm sure we'll be his destination but I don't think he will be leaving.
"Draxler will not be worth whatever price you pay because he's currently overhyped."
How do you know he wouldn't be worth it. Can you see into the future? Do we even know what his price would be at this point?

Draxler's pricetag confuses me. Unless his ability far outweighs his productivity like Iniesta or someone
In a world where Draxula is worth £30m, Sterling is surely worth £100m
And it's not apples and oranges to compare two players who'd fulfil the same squad role. It's potentially great apples to older, definitely good apples

A release clause doesn't reflect market value.
There productivity isn't all that different.
Draxler has 5 goals 7 assists in 32 games.
Sterling has 9 goals 5 assists in 24 games playing for a much better team.

It does when, by all accounts, you were close to meeting it, no?
No. Close to 10 million off.

I thought you ended up haggling over like £3-4m off his release clause. £10m suggests to me that the deal was never even close to being done, at any stage.
His clause was 37 and we didn't even hit 30. Rumor was they were willing to try and meet somewhere in the middle.

If you are only measuring their performances through stats, then you are doing it wrong.
Hitcher mentioned productivity.
Where did I say I was measuring their performance?
I just don't want to regret missing out on him when he is doing great at Bayern.

You compared the player's stats. Hitcher did not. He merely stated that Draxler's ability should far outweigh his productivity, which it did not this past season. Sterling's ability outweighed his productivity. That is why there was that exaggeration of the price difference between the two players.
Productivity is measured by expectation. I don't watch Schalke enough to know what his role is in the team, but Sterling was originally supposed to be auxiliary, not a key cog. As it happened, Coutinho was under-productive given his place as the main creative outlet, and Sterling was producing far above expectations, leading to his placement later in the season as our man in the hole.
Draxler's output should be considered relative to his position in the team. Given his reputation, that amount of goals and assists does seem low to me. Not seen enough to really judge though.

Max Meyer is Schalke's gem.
Right, but where did I measure their performance based on that? I didn't draw any conclusions from it other than that their numbers aren't all that different.
He is 20. He had a poor season. Schalke had a poor season. Nobody thinks he is worth his release clause because if they did someone would have paid it by now.
Don't forget you started this entire discussion off with a totally meaningless comment.

Why even bring up Sterling's numbers and compare them to Draxler's unless you were refuting Hitcher's claim that Sterling is worth a lot more than Draxler? Hitcher only brought up Draxler's productivity. Hitcher didn't measure Sterling's performances through productivity. The prices were based on their overall performances this season.
Anyways this bit of conversation is going nowhere :lol
I feel a lot of Arsenal fans have this lingering image of Vela from his Arsenal days. He's a great player now and knows Arsenal well. He's cheap and only just turned 25. Would be one of the smarter buys Arsenal could make.
Of course, a dm and a striker are more needed and would be instantly more exciting.
nope. New challenge.
Ideally we would replace Podolski with Vela and just bring in Draxler as another option.
I think regardless of what happens, we will get Vela. For the price it would be dumb not to.
There is a new challenge every year at Arsenal. You don't get to keep the 4th place trophy.

more worried that City would go for Cesc over United... especially if Yaya keeps all his antics up. frankly, if I were them, I would be looking to offload Yaya ASAP to Monaco or whoever. his value's going nowhere but down and it's not a particularly good idea to sign old players to mega contractseven when you don't have a budget

L'Equipe reports Didier Drogba is close to joining Juventus, after ending his contract at GS. Target: Champs Lge success

I'll be setting up a fantasy league for the world cup when we get closer to kick off. And I'll probably create a separate thread in OT for that purpose.
Unless someone already called dibs.
