Good news everyone - he's good

Cazorla, Gotze, Wilshere on one team.
I'd crap myself with joy.
Not happening though.

Klaus

He's same or worse than Eisfeld according to Ricky and Pepe.

Why would they add a buyout clause worth less than what we already offered for him?

Klaus

Typical German mind game.

I think we should bid £24m. It's the magic number.

Conor

Please happen.

Please.

So when the likes of us make a move they sell early in the window and have time to get in a replacement

To be fair - who all else is in the running for him these days?

You would think Chelsea and Madrid are out, Barcelona probably not (please god no!), City maybe, Milan teams don't seem like it, PSG has Pastore/Lavezzi......

Manchester United maybe.....

Timbob

yep, no other club wants 20 year old German super kids. Suckaaaaz!

Captain

😆

Just find a way to get the kid in next summer.

MuswellHillGooner

As the kid, with your Arsenal hat off, would you come to us, honestly?

Captain

Nope.

He's living the dream in Germany, what would be the point?

Ray

He will have seen the careers of fabregas and nasri who play in the same position and think he could do well, he will leave Dortmund as they aren't big enough for him, Manu dont fit his style and Dortmund wouldn't want to sell kagawa and him to them, Chelsea have no space for him at barca he will be pushed out, there's too many players like him there and the homegrown ones will always be preferred, so it's between Madrid city and us. And we have a good reputation in furthering careers (sad but true under wenger) and have German internationals, he will be good with joining arsenal.

Timbob

He's practically ours when you think about it logically.

Ray

Yeah basically there's no doubt

How do you work that out?

He's earning mega money and winning titles at his boyhood club, in his boyhood city plus Dortmund are showing their worth in this years champs league.

He has absolutely no reason to leave there for at least a few years.
