Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Barcelona winger Pedro (26) has offers from several English teams. One of them would be Arsenal. [rac1]

Same source who broke the Cesc > Chelsea deal

Haven't watched too much La Liga, but he does have loads of pace.

Feo - Ozil - Pedro
------Striker-----

Do like this rumour.....but it says several English teams so.......?

Need a striker and CM, if we turned down Cesc then that must mean we are in for someone....time for those 'deep' negotiations to pop their head out

Ozil's assist for Podolski's goal , wow, didn't even look

Mandatory 'selfie' from Podolski with Ozil

15 million Euros is that all, what a real bargain!

Yep, Rakitic has been one of the best Midfielders in Europe this season, top class player.

That's not a selfie tbf.

Also, if Barcelona get Rakitic and Reus, that's rather disgusting (unlikely now in Reus's case though perhaps). Although it'll be amusing to see what team Real Madrid ravage in response, assuming it's not us.

The whole Griezmann vs Draxler debate (from the other thread) does raise an interesting question - should we be going after the most impressive stats, or should we be concentrating more on attributes? In terms of output, you'd have to say that Griezmann looks the much better player right now, and would represent the better (cheaper) buy - however, the PL is a very different beast to Spain, and Draxler looks like he has the better build for it (and could be a bit of a monster with a bit of work)? I'm not sure which way I'd go, personally...

Draxler should develop into the far superior player. Draxler IMO has true world class potential and is technically already at a far superior level, if he bulks up a bit, he could turn into a forward in the Bale/Ronaldo kind of mould. I have no doubt he would rack up some insane numbers, goals and assists if he develops properly. Griezmann is a very good player and I would be very happy if we signed him but I don't believe he has all the tools to reach world class status, he is technically limited IMO although a very good player.

Aye, maybe Madrid will go all out for Suarez?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd expect something like that certainly. Hard to see where else they'd go really, Aguero maybe.

BREAKING: Marco Reus has suffered a ligament tear and he will miss the World Cup. (BILD)
