Bayern are disgusting. Not that I'm particularly desperate to get Draxler, but they have no need for him at all. Just buying and weakening those around them for the sake of it.
Don't agree with this in Draxler's case, looks like they're lining up a Ribery replacement to me. It's smart to have one lined up and ready to go for when he starts to slow down, he's 30 and is bound to decline in the next 2 seasons.
Draxler to replace Ribery, Shaqiri to replace Robben. Nothing disgusting about it, it's just good squad management. Their replacements will be already integrated in the squad and ready to go once the inevitable decline occurs.
