Draxler would cost £35 Mil plus, Bender would probably be £20-25 Mil. Leaving, how much for a CF? Before we get anyone else, we need to get a CF first and foremost, and then a CDM and a RB if Sagna leaves. At his moment, I feel like Draxler would just be a luxury signing.
I agree that a CF is a priority, then a CDM. I hope to **** that Sagna signs another contract because Jenkinson is nowhere near the level we need on a consistent basis. If we do have enough money, then I think the likes of Draxler or Di Maria would add enormous quality on the flanks with Walcott. We could even see Arteta or Podolski sold in the summer, although it's all speculative of course.
If rumours are to be believed Arsenal have over £100 million in the bank so it's far from football manager
I said it was speculative, but we've made a bid for Bender before, Draxler was heavily linked and said he would like to play for Arsenal and Di Maria has been linked in the past too. So they are not just names picked out of the sky football manager style.
I think we need 4 players in the summer, Draxler being one of them. We also need an new RB if Sagna leaves, I think he should be replaced by Serge Aurier, a name which is being bandied about. We need an new CF, who we'll get is anyone's guess but has to be in the top bracket. Lastly, a new DM, as someone suggested, Lars Bender could work. I estimate 80-100million will need to be spent. We'll see anyway.
I think Wenger will probably just buy 2 players, a striker, and a new defender, and maybe some untested youngster added to that.
Don't forget there are question marks hanging over certain players, particularly Fabianski and Viviano, whose loan deal expires at the end of the season. Kallstrom will leave at the end of his loan spell, Sagna is uncertain and so is Vermaelen. So we need defensive reinforcements in addition to the purchase of a new striker.
Well no we made bid of around £25 last Summer so I would assume it would take more. £30 Million plus.
If fab, sagna and TV leave this is the team next year with their understudies. ----------------Wos/?---------------------- Jenkinson/?------Mert/?-----Kos/?--------Gibbs/Monreal -------------Arteta/Flam-------Ramsey/wilshere------------ ---Theo/Oxo----------Ozil/Ros-------------Pod/Caz --------------------Giroud/Sanogo---------------------- If that is the case i think we would need : A 2nd choice GK 1st choice RB 2 CB's - one experienced, one talented youngster A CDM to replace on of Arteta/flm A CF - ideally WC if we get that and have cash then yes go for Draxler. But the positions above are priorities.
Draxler? Seriously? ANOTHER CAM??? You have Wilshere, Cazorla and Ozil, all I would say are built for the number 10 role, you don't need another. You need to spend that kind of money on a striker. BTW I think Bender has signed a new 5 year contract? So wouldn't come cheap
Draxler is versatile enough to play along the forward line, however prefers to be deployed on the left. Remains to be seen how Wenger will use him IF we sign him. He is a genuinely world class player and we shouldn't pass up the opportunity to get him should it arise. We have enough money to buy him and a decent CF as well
What's his pace like? If there's one thing I've learned from watching Chelsea, Bayern and City r*ping the hell out of us it's that pace works and, with the exception of Theo, we've very little in our team.
I'm not convinced by Di Maria specifically but that kind of player is something we need, someone with pace to play on the left of the front 3
