    Draxler plays on the wing.

    If we get Draxler, then 1 player will have to make way, and I think it will be Podolski. Having Theo-OXO-Cazorla-Draxler-Podolski-Gnarby is too many wingers, and a player like Podolski isn't going to want to be benched that much, and plus he's like on 90k a week, so it's no use having him on the wage bill if he isn't going to play much, which I think he won't if we get Draxler. He would be behind Draxler, and Cazorla. Podolski already wasn't seeing much playing time this season, so imagine now if we buy someone like Draxler. So if we do get Draxler, I think Podolski will be off.

    Personally I don't think we will be weakened at all by the departures of Giroud, Arteta, and Podolski.

    Apparently he's a shoe-in. They've gone to £40,000,002.

    Mandzukic, Ozil (he will get better at it), Cazorla, Walcott.

    He will be off to Madrid for 90 million plus, so no point.

    Can you imagine if we actually did spend monies on more than one player in the transfer window? The media wouldn't know who to pick on, especially if Özil is still here!

  10. Don't know if you've looked at the league table lately, but we're a shoe-in for top four this season so £90m (assuming you meant £s) won't be enough :)

  11. TBF, the media didn't know what to do when you signed Ozil <laugh>

    In the end they decided the only way to deal with the situation was to constantly pick on ozil...

  13. They didn't pick on him until his form dipped though. They were spunking all over him when he first joined you guys. Can't say I blame them, I'd have been ecstatic had he joined us <laugh>

    Let's face it, does it matter which Bender we get? They both look and play the same... In fact I'd be willing to bet they often secretly swap and play for each other's clubs without their team mates knowing;) in fact I bet there's actually only one of them, but he just thought he could double the amount of money he earns by signing a contract with two clubs and creating a 'twin' of himself.

    Let's face it... Have Dortmund and Leverkusen ever played at EXACTLY the same time?! Point proven!!

    To my mind, there is going to be precious little cash left after we replace Sagna, upgrade Arteta, and get another striker.

    Even if we change our manager, I doubt we will do much more than that.

    Changing the manager is the biggest transfer we could make

    Lars is better than Sven. Or Bender plays better when he's playing as Lars, than he does when he's playing as Sven, if your theory is correct.

    Haven't seen them enough to form a judgement over who is better but either would be an upgrade on our current options. An expensive upgrade... They will only be so many top signings we make, and I imagine it'll end up being a striker as Wenger thinks he has enough cover there with Flamini, Arteta and Ramsey.
