"...get to a higher level" (The January Transfer Window Thread)

if Bayern takes Draxler....surely it will be a domination of BL for the next 5-7 years

 

Can't stant Bayern. At least la Liga is a 2 teams league..... The Bundesliga may stay a one team league for the foreseeable future.

 

As much I detest Bayern ( I support BVB )...one of the best managed clubs in all of football...
absolutely ruthless (and at times illegal) when it comes to transfers

 

only if they are unattached to a club, but then you have the problem of squad registration which would rule any older players out anyway.

 

We just signed a player that wont be available until March....AFTER our most difficult stretch of the season...

GET THE ******** OUT..

By Ornstein BBC.
Clarification - Kallstrom out for at least 6 games with back injury found in medical before signing. Not done in training #afc #bbcfootball

 

Kallstrom injury: LMFAO

 

That is embarrassing.

 

Does Kallstrom come with a 30day money back guarantee, or some sort of an exchange?

 

Wenger, you blew our chance to win the league. It's gonna take the most insane effort from the lads to win it with our injuries.

 

Wow. Speechless.

 

Why the hell would they sign him then?

 

Normally I don't like to overreact but we REALLY don't have much of a chance to win the title this season if we don't sign a legitimate striker.

Theo's out, Podolski isn't getting enough chances lately and Giroud only scored 3 goals in the last 10 games. Not good enough.

Wenger is screwing his fans over.

 

Agree. Wenger did rate him prior to his injuries. I think he had a shot at one point.

 

U get the feeling if Wenger hosted Top Gear he'd tell everyone it's ok to drive a Bugatti on 3 wheels. We know it's hard to get quality in Jan. but this here? This is fcukery!

 

Seriously, who the hell knowingly buys defective goods?

 

i had backed him and was willing to adopt a "let's see what he does on the pitch attitude" but this latest news makes for grim reading indeed

 

it sounds like a administrative ********-up....signed the loan before medical results came back

 

Ok.....That may settle the issue once for all. Draxler own words:
"
‏@MickTheGooner 1h
Draxler: "I want to go & had a good offer to leave. But the Schalke manager Horst Heldt said no to transfer & wouldn't let me go."

PS. He made these statements on Sky today. Was not an happy camper.

 

Thanks for not wanting to buy another striker Wenger!

 

Still think Arsenal should've met the buy out clause. If we are going to get him in the summer, why would Shalke sell for any less? Unless they had someone to replace him i suppose... idk. Very frustrating stuff.

 

That is not the information filtering out now...It seems that his valuation was met but Shalke refused to bulge and
would not let him go, not before the Summer anyway.

 

If you had told me we'd end this window with one less striker and signed an injured midfield as backup to our injured midfielders, well...

 

Is that stated somewhere? If they did, then tough to fault Arsenal but if that's even been reported (much less confirmed) I've missed it.

 

Julian Draxler tells Sky Germany that Schalke blocked his move to Arsenal despite meeting their valuation

I see it in the headline but no one quoted, and not Draxler himself says it. The other day you were getting on me about following headlines that weren't backed by the body of the story.
