Yeah, mate. Sounds like he has a similar rep to varane and would very much complete the defensive puzzle we have. Chelsea seem to have signed him for a decent price too...considering the potential.

Always said and thought Wenger spending this much on a 20 year old was a long shot so I won't be surprised if the draxler deal doesn't happen. If we won't spend the nuggets on him now, we won't spend it on him this summer either sow I'm resigned to losing out.

We've all seen the difference Bould made to the defence. Maybe the best signing we could make is a football guy who could deal with the transfers and contracts. Now we have the potential to be spending cash every year it's worth getting the right team in place to make the right decisions.

I believe that is the system already in place. Wenger just has the final word. Or his word is final...mostly.

It does seem that Wenger makes it far more difficult than it needs be to get deals done. That may have been necessary in the past, but it shouldn't be the case now.

There is no FFP, its a joke. Two teams that have lost 1ooM between them, and yet they continue to be the most active in the market.

Yeah, it's all a load of shite.

Funny that it's still mentioned really.

Happy Jim White day.

He won't go without signing anyone.

He's not stupid enough to do that. He can see the title is wide open.

I cant see us bringing anyone in now. Talk of a loan doesnt really fill me with confidence. Oh well, best chance of winning the title since 2008, and we may well fall short due to not wanting to part with the cash (or pursuing the wrong targets).
