Non-Arsenal Transfer Rumours - Summer 2015

[cannonade]

I left Danny out; my bad. He would be the one player I would trade off our squad for Draxler, but I don't think Wenger thinks like that or is ruthless to that degree. So Danny stays for now, and really, how much of the field does he see this season when healthy? An odd game here or there to give Alexis or Giroud a break is all I can see.

I never got the Draxler hype tbh. I don't think he'll become a top class winger although he might become very good.

 

[Stevo the Villan]

I see Tim's going for the work harder crew.......the pressing game should work a treat.....

To be fair, in every other area of the pitch that's exactly the player he's going for!

I guess he reckons everyone else can do the running for our strikers

If you're a fan of De Bruyne, I think this kids every bit as good

Has Draxler ever shifted 20 assists and 10 goals in a season?

Nope his best was 13 goals and 7 assists in an injury free season at the age of 19. KDB hit those figures at 23. Drax is still only 21
But then you already knew that

Shame? Why? We can't buy every available player. We have a full squad (minus an adequate second DMid) with full squad financial obligations. Who sits if we sign Draxler? Theo? No. Alexis? No. Ox? No. JW? No. Ramsey? No. Özil? No. Santi? No. You could say Giroud, but Draxler is not a striker. And whoever sits till has to be paid and we have Gnabry, Akpom (who I'm not sure is going to make it here), Iwobi (a talent), and el Jefe on the rise.
No room in the Inn, I'm afraid.

It's a shame because I personally like him compared to half the technically inept attackers that we have. It's not gonna break our summer if we aren't in for him, but once the window closes and we have no one new and Giroud is on holiday mode because he tires after two games in a row, I'll be thinking it might have been nice to have got him.

As for the bolded, neither is Theo really. But couple of games against joke teams and we are seriously considering putting the midget up top.

As I recall that's a pre-season friendly game, can't take anything away from these games.

Draxler is very overhyped in here - if he was as good as we think he is he wouldn't be going to Juventus. That being said, Juve have the best track record with these kinds of signings, so he'll probably stay injury free for two years, explode in Serie A and transfer to Real for a record breaking fee.

So on the one hand your saying he's over hyped but on the other your saying he's going to explode and will probably join Real on a record breaking fee?

Having seen the level he reached against Chelsea I don't think there's any doubting this lads talent. Be interesting to see how he performs in Serie A. I personally think he'll flourish given the opportunity.

Yes, he is very overhyped, decent season a year back but just missed a season through injury, not putting up good numbers, no consistency etc. People think he he could walk into our team and do a job for us at CF, he most certainly couldn't. Think Welbz is the much better squad player at the moment.

Second part was with regards to Juve, they have a way of squeezing every bit of talent out of players - even injury prone ones. Think Draxler is optimizing his chance of becoming a good player by going there.

Yeah he missed 17 games through injury which I think would affect anyone's stats significantly. I don't think he'll be at the De Bruyne level of figures just for the style of play alone. De Bruyne is more direct where as Draxler will try more exquisite pieces of skill to fashion a chance. I'd love to have this guy here but I can see why Wenger might baulk at the asking price. Also our current team needs goals in any attacking acquisition and you probably wouldn't get that immediately as he acclimatises to the league.

Maybe just an FU to Chelsea who've handled this transfer very poorly.

Who is buying the title again Mourinho?

Hardly surprising Arsenal fans over hyping the type of player you described, sounds suspiciously like Jack Wilshere ,only I know it's not him you are referring to. Could be Diaby, maybe even the Ox. I can name drop a few more just to highlight why we get over excited about young injury prone players who have had a few stormers and not much else, you could say it's our DNA.

Edit. They are holding out for 34m few more offers left on this one

£10m? You're stuck in 2006 mate.

Everton will get three times that amount.

Its funny to think Gary Cahill went for £7 million just over 3 years ago and now you have the equivalent of a player going for 4 times that. Madness.

It'll get worse as well, read that the Bayern chairman might go in for De Bruyne this summer because he expects prices to rise again next summer.

De Bruyne to Bayern eh? Surely that would mean someone like Gotze would be off. Hell even Lewandowski..Muller played most of his games last season at ST and is Bayern's golden boy..De Bruyne could come in to play behind him.

Sorry i couldn't resist haha desperate to nick some of their attacking talent. It's not fair how good their squad is.
