Groundhog summer transfer window thread

I typed "Natalie Sawyer melons" into twitter and was pleasantly surprised

Amazing.....I googled Robin_L and it came up with this

Twitter red hot with Draxler anticipation.
What makes me laugh is that people Tweet "Arsenal to buy Draxler, you heard it here first".
Nope.
Arsenal have been tracking Draxler for the best part of a year at least, probably a lot longer.
I think it makes sense to buy him.
Whether he plays as central attacking midfielder, wide attacking midfielder or a striker (and he could do all three) then I think it good to bring in a new attacking player, we could well see Park, Miyaichi, Diaby, Bendtner, Afobe and even Rosicky all leave over the summer.
Frimpong too, which leaves Oxlade-Chamberlain with the chance of sometimes playing more centrally deeper in midfield.
Zelalem and Eisfeld could go some way to replacing those who leave, but Draxler is more experienced and has looked good from what little I have seen of him.

Is anyone tweeting that Draxler isn't coming ?

I didn't know you had disciples on Twatter

Not alone are we expecting schalke to let him go 5 months early but we are also expecting them to take a £12m hit into the bargain

Again on the bt sport programme last night the same german journalist spoke about bayern leaving out Mandzukic from their squad last friday night - he said that not alone did they leave him out by they publicly spoke about his lack of effort in training as the reason and he said that for them to speak publicly like this is very unlike bayern It does make you wonder if bayern are doing this to float the idea to other clubs that they are not happy with him and would be open to a sale ? One thing that is for an absolute certainty is that he is not a pep type of player.

All that being said, I'm not sure how good he is anyway even if he did come available on the transfer market. He is probably better than giroud and is most def better than the worlds greatest danish p*ick and park so from that point of view I would certainly support buying him, but he isnt good enough (imo) to get drawn into a long battle to get bayern to sell him

im more concerned about the rumours linking Sagna with Manchester City than about us possibly buying another midfield player
