For me it's not really the Draxler deal specifically that's so frustrating. It's everything. Özil is the exception. But really, we should have signed 2-3 more top quality players last summer. We persued Higuain for what seemed like forever(not to mention Jovetic before that). We put in an embarassing and incompetent bid for Suarez, all the while never serious about actually paying his worth.
Pretty much feel cheesed off as well, and it's also not about Draxler. We need a trophy and I think we've fallen short in terms of really aiming for one.
That we had no hope at the start of the season but have led the league up until now proves we're frustratingly close now to what we need, in this window of opportunity.
Come summer and megaclubs will be trying to unsettle our defence and midfield stars. Imagine if Kos to Barcelona or Ramsey to United becomes the story of the summer.
Anyway, hope we bring in a forward, I'll be somewhat mollified if we do.
