One, two, Jan Tran y'all

Bold Tone

We ain't getting Draxler unless he has a disappointing season.
Otherwise, we've seen this movie several times.
Here is the script:
1:Arsenal linked to said player with potential.
2:Said player has a blinding season.
3:Arsenal give up as another team has an interest and we do not partake in bidding wars.
4:Said player joins rival club.
5:We buy a "tier 3" level player that nobody else really wants.

Draxler has been dropped from matchday squad in Wolfsburg, Tone.

goon

Regardless I don't think that old script has been relevant for a good 3-4 years.

@Marv
So we are still on number 1 on this script.
Personally, i would prefer Reus/Griesmann to Draxler but i realise they are, both, too expensive.
They would require superstar wages which we are, already, unwilling to give Alexis/Ozil.
@[deleted]
i hope you are right but i could argue that
Number 2 applies to Ozil and Sanchez.
Number 5 applies to Elneny, Xhaka, Perez.

Who was the choice over Xhaka? I think he was exactly the player Wenger wanted in midfield.

Klaus

Gündogan probably if Wenger could have had a free pick, but he was never coming to us. I agree, Xhaka is a good player and a good signing. We should have signed someone like him two years ago though. His adaptation period means that he's not quite at the level we need him to be right now. That's not Xhaka's fault obviously. It's Wenger's, who has been fiddling his thumbs for years when it comes to the midfield.

Bold Tone

Xhaka has the potential, no doubt, but he is at a level below what would interest "tier 1" (Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern), "tier 2" (Atletico, Juve) and "more money than sense" (manu, man city, chelsea) clubs.
Not a bad buy as compensation for losing Mkhitaryan.

And much better than 5 years ago when ended up with Gervinho after being linked to Hazard and Vertonghen.

Lot of talk that we are in negotiations to sign Draxler

Gazza M

#Arsenal is in talks too with Draxler! Ozil tries to convince him to join #AFC! Arsenal should send an offer!

this guy was right about mahrez last summer. mahrez recently confirmed that we can made an offer but leicester wouldn't budge, and this chap was banging that drum louder than anyone

lorddulaarsenal

Payet would jump at the chance to join us

Jed

Meh.

We could sign Messi and fucking Ronaldo and still flatter to deceive.

Now if you said Simeone would jump at the chance to manage us, I would be jumping with joy.

lorddulaarsenal

I know. Payet would be more of the same in my opinion. Not one who fancies pressing either

Ray

Payet is exactly the kind of player to improve us immediately in the short term, and would probably give us a title boost.

lorddulaarsenal

Would be great to have that threat from free kicks

-----------Alexis
--Payet---Ozil---Walcott

Not bad

flobaba

Same night, same fight, but one of us cats ain't playing right.

I'll let you tell it.

Ray

Payet has created the most chances this season in the PL. That was Ozil last year.

GooneriC

Draxler is a no. To PSG for 34 million

Qwiss

I'd love to get Payet. He is brilliant. He always has a bit of magic in him and I think he'd link up really well with Ozil.

Klaus

I'd take Payet too. People shouldn't be so afraid of short-term signings. The 18-24 good months we'd be almost certain to get out of him are more than we'll get from the majority of the projects we've given years' worth of wages and playing time to.

Gurgen

Yeah, Payet is a no-brainer.
