Draxler is coming
We really really really really really need a striker and out we go and buy another midfielder. Typical.

This club is so embarrassing sometimes. Pay the money or STFU.

Pay the asking price or fuck off! penny pinching arseholes so they are
Just because they have a release clause doesn't mean you have to meet it. Hulk has a release clause of €100m - who's going to pay that?
100m is totally unreasonable though whilst 37m wouldn't be classed as a huge fee in todays market - its mad but that's the football world we live in now
