balotelli is massively overrated and far too inconsistent. draxler is also much better than shaarawy.

Matic is going for £16m, nowhere near 35m

My bad, got confused by Rodrigo's fee.

Anyway, Matic is going for £22m + add ons.

German paper Bild today: Are Schalke preparing for Draxler's Departure?
SportDirector Heldt: -We hope he stays, but we can't influence

Basically, he is free to leave if we bid.

If we're planning to go for him in the summer then we may as well buy him now. If nothing else, it will free up Podolski to play up top again.

Draxler seems like he might be a brilliant long term investment if he's as talented as many are saying, but would he have any real impact on the team for the next 5 months?

He might turn into a goalscorer, but from his stats, he certainly isn't one now. Wouldn't we still need to bring in a striker?

Although some have said they think Wenger would want to turn Draxler into a striker long term.

Rosicky is 33 this year, Arteta is 32, Flamini is 30, Cazorla is 30. Eventually these guys will have to be phased out or sold/released. Rosicky looks decent at his age but his injuries might come up at any time plus he is quite mobile at 33. Once he loses that though he won't have a place here. Arteta is one I'd keep around for the long term because he's completely lost his pace but he still has the intelligence to play. I'd keep him as a regular till 2015 then as an exp sub and get in Cabaye then who'd be the perfect replacement IMO. Flamini's main asset is his harrying and he needs to run around a lot to make up for his lack of technical skills. He has 2 years max here. Cazorla is the one we need to be a bit cuthroat with. He's going to turn 30 this year and if he doesn't start picking up his form we should still be able to get a very good fee probably a profit on the 14m euro fee in the summer.

We need to strengthen our left wing options, our attack is completely weighted towards the centre and right.
I'd be all for pouncing on this Draxler opportunity if it's available in January

Draxler in January

Then sell Cazorla and Podolski in the summer, sign Pogba and a striker.

Volante

Draxler and Benzema and I'm a very happy man.

Armor

Oops thought this was the wishlist.

Is he worth 45mill Euros? I know it is due to lower buyout clauses but in recent years Gotze & Hazard have gone for less

Volante

Not sure if he's worth 45m Euros but he's not going to give performances/numbers you'd expect from a 45m Euro footballer in the first year or two IMO.

Schalke Manager Horst Heldt on Draxler: "We continue to hope that Julian remains. But there are rules that we can not influence."

Gotze went for a snip because he had a release clause agreed on his deal a few years back prior to the market inflation which occurred last summer. Hazard was from Ligue 1 and even then the amount was considered a lot. Factor in the extras due to which even City backed off and it comes close to or exceeds what we pay for Ozil in terms of the entire financial package. With Draxler you're paying for currently one of the few attainable super talents who has a lot of match experience too. A young player who will give performances from the get-go like Oscar, Mata and Hazard.

May as well order your shirts now.

I really doubt we'll sign him.

Yep, I reckon it's near a done deal. All that needs to be decided is whether he joins now or in summer.

Draxler #31. He'll take the #7 once Rosicky fucks off.
