Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Don't recall seeing Draxler play but if 40m is what it's takes then so be it. We've pussy footed around all summer and are now in no position to bargain for players.

60million is what it will take, 40 million is what we will offer

Draxler had a release clause of £38m in his contract.

The deal is already completed now according to you know who ...

Similarly, Arsenal have been scared off Valencia keeper Vicente Guaita after having a £6m bid turned down and following a heated row between Miroslav Ðukic, Valencia's manager, and Wenger when the Frenchman attempted to reverse the call charges one time too many during protracted negotiations.

This has surely got to be a wind up? Is Wenger, the man who earns 7.5 million a year, really that cheap?


Edit - Good work NQ. Managed to fool me for a second.

Wayne Gooney? Must be true then.

Which means we won't be signing him

Isn't Draxler another CAM? How many do we need?!

With long term injuries to Ox and Pod, we may have to play Cazorla on the left. We don't have enough creative players I this team. If anything happened to Cazorla, we'd be in serious trouble for the season.

[Marc Overmars]

Well if he's an upgrade on what we have then quantity shouldn't come into it.

Right now I don't think we're even prioritising positions, we clearly have no strategy so I think it's just a case of buy whoever we can.

[Power n Glory]

We're covered for central midfield and defensive midfield now. Defenders, creative players and strikers are what we need now. If Giroud picks up an injury we only have Sanago and Theo that can play there. That's very poor. If Theo gets injured or has to play upfront, who can play on the right wing? We're so light in numbers. It's patch up jobs all over the pitch. An injury to Giroud, Cazorla or Theo would put us in some serious trouble this season without quality back up players. We can't even afford to rotate them with this current squad.

[Özim]

Stick Gibbs on the wing, Bendtner up front, Flamini in defence.

Job done.

Sounds about right, he signed a new deal in May with a 45 million euro release clause so 38 million pounds sounds about right. Obviously the talk of 60 mill is rubbish. Schalke signing KPB is the biggest sign this deal really is done. Julian's coming home
