Julian Draxler

Volante

Let's sign Januzaj instead.

Fear for me in Wenger splashing big on Draxler is that he will cheapskate it on the striker front. Can't for the life of me see us going close to 40m three times in the space of a year.

Captain

Gotze and Hazard outscore him handily, although Hazard has had a longer professional career. They are just better players, but Draxler can get to that level eventually.

Volante

Goetze is so good. Been a bit stop-start for him at Bayern this season but he's still well on his way to around 15 goals this season.

@honigstein's translated tweet:

"Schalke seem like they're practicallly begging for an offer for Draxler. #debt"

Debt?! Get the fuck in

Rex

Wenger likes this.

Schalke in debt?

Weren't they supposed to be one of the richest clubs in Germany?

Can't see us paying 40m again anytime soon, for Draxler or anyone else. I think Wenger will try to find a striker in 10-25 million range in the Summer.

@honigstein

I'm just not sure AW will go for him again, at this slightly crazy prize. he pushed hard, once, for a lot less money - before Özil.

Captain

Think their debt situation is fine unless they miss the champs league.

Volante

Going to be really hard for them to make it. Gladbach are pretty good and have a far better manager than Schalke. Wolfsburg have invested quite a bit in their squad and have Diego who is brilliant and they just added De Bruyne who knows the league. Hertha will fade away.

Cool, do you reckon say in 7 years time he'll be at their level or do they simply have a higher ceiling?

From what Honigstein is saying there was interest but not at the £37.5mill level which seems sensible

Volante

Just my opinion but I can't see Draxler ever being close to as good as Goetze. Maybe he can reach Hazard's level but I have difficulty seeing that too. Januzaj looks like the biggest U20 talent around to me.

Edit: Actually, Pogba best U20 player. SAF 😆

Two seasons at Arsenal will do it, in my opinion.

Volante

Could be come in and score 15-20 goals from next season?

Bosscielny

Probably not next season. But when he's as old as Hazard is he might.

MistaT

Volante - you think Gotze is that far ahead of Hazard?

These days I don't see a whole lot separating the two but that may also be down to Gotze's recent injuries/playing time.

A few years ago I was adamant that Hazard was better. I was borderline obsessed with him, really thought we'd get him. Maybe it's down to preference but now I think Goetze looks an all around better player. Looks nearly as big a goal threat and all the other skills are in Goetze's favor.
