Direct translation here

Draxler will be the trainer of Arsene Wenger and get him abs for the summer.

If nothing else, it'll be a nice little psychological boost for the side.

He could definitely develop into a similar striker as RvP. They're almost uncanny.

ugh he's such a sick player, technique, close control, passing and finishing.

:gah:

Even though he wants to play number 10, I imagine that could change if Wenger feels he can be a new RvP minus the injuries.

and minus the little boy inside of him

Draxler better not flop.

I think any worry about his transfer is that we have bigger needs in the squad - striker, holding mid, backup CB/RB. And perhaps that he won't be an immediate contributor to a team that needs to be looking to win now. But he's clearly going to become an excellent player.

Meh, I had hoped we'd get him in January in order for him to gain a little bit experience this season. He wouldn't have helped us much this season anyway, that's why I was initially against signing him in January, but if we really sign him for next summer, we've passed an opportunity to get him into a title challenge and five months of Premier League football.

He's first choice at schalke isn't he? He's fine where he is. Get in a proper pre season with the team and have a go next season.

If anyone has a problem with a post, PM a mod about it. Don't put it in the thread.

YounGunner, I think we all know what van Peraie's skills look like. No need to post a video of them.

Let's move on now.

What's the chances of us actually signing him? 50-50?

Where's Scorpion when you need him?

If we pay what Schalke want we can sign him whenever we want.

Raphael Honigstein just confirmed on BT Sport that negotiations are ongoing between Arsenal and Schalke for Julian Draxler.

I remember when he was gushing over Ramsey and Wilshere in a Beeb interview ahead of the England friendly, then swapped shirts with Jack at the final whistle. He certainly fancies us.

Honigstein traded shirts with Jack?
