Don't get the desperation to sign Draxler.
I mean he is a special talent and even now at 20 he reminds me of the Russian Andre in his pomp before he got lazy here but why are we desperate to have him now.
With the right guidance this kid could be something really special. He can beat a man, not easily knocked off the ball, can see a pass and has an excellent shot on him.
I know AW is trying to avoid a summer auction if the kid is a shining star in Rio, but he's not what we need right now.
We are not like the chavs who can afford to buy a player just to stop anyone else getting him. We need to account for our spend and right now a striker and covering CB is what we need. FFS we had no covering CB's on the bench today. If Per or Kos or both at the same time get injured then we are well and truly screwed.
