Yeah, Draxler is almost certainly leaving in the winter. Burned his bridges completely with a number of interviews and has been dropped from the squad today.

Wolfsburg are disintegrating right now, manager and DoF will probably both be sacked in a minute and the squad will undergo a major overhaul. We should keep an eye out for Draxler and Rodriguez, both will go for a lot less than was initially asked

What do you think of his behavior jones? I recall he did a similar thing at Schalke.

I worry that he would pull out the same tactics if he fulfilled his potential to leave for Barca/Real/Bayern.

Not sure what to make of it, on one hand it's disgraceful but then again we're talking about a completely useless club in Wolfsburg. If he made it here I doubt he'd pull the same shit, we're not a club in the Lower Saxony province.

Not sure how to fit in him here though, or anywhere else for that matter. He's clearly immensely talented but his game needs a lot of work. I'd take a punt at 20m, that's probably enough to get him right now

There are a lot of question marks for sure but he's a supremely talented bloke. So many guys who've become great players for us in the last 20 years have had similar beginnings. Wenger picked them up when their stock was low, found them a position and built them back up. I think we have to go for Draxler if we can get him for £20 million or less.

For sure we have to go for him now, if he's up for sale.

What's wrong with the lower Saxony province?

It's not exactly London. It's Lower Saxony with a capital L btw, not as bad as the lower part of Saxony but still a backwater

Shanghai has made a 60m offer for Oscar. FFS Chelsea getting so much for their dross again.

Bazoer is going to Wolfsburg for 12m euros. Are we missing out on a big talent?

Draxler also has PSG's interest.

Manolas just pre-signed for Inter next season. €22.5 million deal. Just unbelievable that we weren't pursuing him last summer.

Out transfer dealings have been so shoddy

Why didn't we push the boat out when we were linked to Diego Costa?

I wonder if Arsenal has any top-tier specialist in any position. Scouting, fitness, coaches and the rest seem to consist only of old-school good pals. Gazidis and Law's credentials are also questionable at best.

Our backroom staff are paid top dollar so I would certainly hope so.

We brought in the sports doctor from Leinster, and the top fitness coach from the German national team. We have headhunted top guys.

Hopefully we'll headhunt ourselves a top manager soon.

a month later

Pochettino to Barca rumours surfacing. We need to make this a thing

I'd love that. He can take Deli with him and Chelsea or United can get Kane leaving Lukaku for us.
