Are we in 2015?

QuincyAbeyie

Fuck no.

KingslandBarge

he's still very elegant and good from the sub / low stakes appearances I have seen, but just no, especially as we sunk on Willian.

Doc

this kid had bags of talent, injuries have really hampered his progress it seems, tempting tbh but it looks like he is made out of the same stuff RvP was.

Ironic since there was some very serious chat around here about whether Draxler could replace RvP as a striker in 2012.

Doc

yeah I thought he could of been converted into a striker too

Klaus

After the knee injury he was done at top level unfortunately. It's a shame because he looked unreal before then.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'd rather S. Kalou.

Gazza M

Ah yung yoolian. The ship has sailed, like mexes, chivu, kalou and gourcuff before him

Qwiss

This would really make the window look bad. I'd much rather just play our youngsters.

Anyway seems like this something PSG want rather than Arsenal, hopefully we wont bite.

I think this is just a negotiating position for PSG, them using our tactics on us. Here we are offering Guendouzi to other clubs and now they're offering us an exchange for him 😆

Yeah remember him getting a serious injury, seen him a few times for PSG and looks a shell of the player he was.

Don't forget Hatem Trabelsi!

Don't think injuries hampered his career, poor career moves did. He's as talented as they come but played for some poor coaches and found himself in too many different positions without being able to master any. Shame as I really liked him as a player, seems like a very smart and mature kid too.

I would be piping mad if we bought this hasbeen and it got in the way of Aouar. With his limited explosiveness he’s settled into a stable career where he he’s a bit like Rosicky. He can give you some very good passing and some goals but there is limited upside now.

Life promises us nothing, but if the summer went from the team allegedly chasing Aouar or Partey, to landing Draxler, I’d be unhappy

His mentality seems way off. Reports going around indicate that he's happy to stay at PSG playing a bit part role because he loves Paris.

Claudius

Oh swell, so we could just add a second Ozil to the squad. Another German counting ducats, adding nothing

jones

Even if that were true cut the guy some slack, he moved to Paris after having never lived anywhere but Gelsenkirchen and Wolfsburg

German equivalent of living in Stoke-on-Trent and Stoke-with-Cars

This. His talent should've allowed him to adapt from the injury but PSG is probably the worst place for that.

Could be the reality post COVID just as we're seeing from the likes of Sokratis wanting to stay.
