As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

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.
I suppose it gives us an option if he;s int he squad.
I don't really watch a lot of German footie because, well because I'm too fucking lazy to even try, but I know the lad is quality and I do think he will be a huge star in world football. If he can play as a striker or even a second striker it still gives us options.
Correct me if I'm wrong but can he play on the wing as well?

The good news is that ham fisted Stan the Wiggy Man would never let There's Only One spend 30m on someone unless 'oh wise one' was about to commit himself to the club

Apparently Fabianski tried this....but the cat slipped through his hands and got away
That's good enough to go on the joke thread mate.
I did hear Flappy tried to jump in front of a train...............But it went under him
