Schalke is arguably the third biggest club in Germany, a football nation on the rise. Draxler might find himself with the choice of either having a Schalke team built around him, or come to fight for a place in our starting line up. Sure we could pay him more money, but it would be a bit like if Wilshere was offered more money at AC Milan or something. Would he jump at that opportunity? And also, would we sell him for a, relative, pittance?
Maybe down the road he'll look for a new challenge, and then he'll either be a Hazard, and go for the biggest bucks at the richest clubs, or a Nasri, a sligthly dimmed wonderkid at an affordable price, and end up at Arsenal.
