Groundhog summer transfer window thread

[The Knowing One]

Arsenal have had Dick Law, their chief transfer negotiator, in Germany to explore the possibility of a January deal for Schalke's Julian Draxler.

Done deal then

[rodders999]

Oh look, we're linked with Blaise Matuidi. Again.

Arsenal move for Matuidi to solve midfield crisis

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/tra ... eld-crisis

Midfield crisis?! The only midfield crisis we have is that we might drown under the sheer number of them on our books lol.

Tomas Rosicky
Mikel Arteta
Jack Wilshere
Mesut Ozil
Aaron Ramsey
Santi Cazorla
Mathieu Flamini
Abou Diaby
Emmanuel Frimpong
Lukas Podolski
Theo Walcott
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Serge Gnabry

Room for one more

certainly strong rumours regarding Draxler now

another unfit player, he will fit right in from the start

Then why on earth would the club pay top dollar for an injured player who by all reports has made it clear he wants to join us.

If he does arrive then all well and good, I would rather we looked for an out and out striker than another one of Wenger's conversion jobs.

Is he actually injured or just a case of schalke not wanting to play him in case he gets an injury which fucks up a big money bid.

I imagine he'll be a Man City player by the morning then.

I thought he was injured but it's anyone's guess now.

[scotgooner]

Seeing that we have placed a £25m bid for Draxler when his release clause is £37m. This really pisses me off.

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?

I'd rather they never dicked around with insulting bids £12m short of the asking price.

In this day and age £25m will not buy you a young promising player like Draxler

[scotgooner]

According to Raphael Honigstein Draxler is coming in the summer but we are trying to seal the deal but are doing the usual low-balling of not wanting to pay the greleasr clause.

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

I think we are on the same wavelength Scotgooner

Great minds as they say

[SoreSack]

would prefer matuidi over draxler tbh, yes we have lots of midfielders but we dont have a single mobile defensive one.

Draxler isn't coming

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

I just cant understand this move I really don't. Is AW going to convert him to CF? Why do we need another winger/playmaker?

FFS SIGN HERNANDEZ!

He's a damn good cf, who for some reason nobody fucking knows is behind Danny 'Emile Heskey' Wellbeck.

Hernandez isn't coming



He can't play in midfield so he'll upset Baldrick Wenger's cunning plan of the world's first 0-10-0 formation
