No, but Dybala was the CF of Palermo, one with alot of freedom and roaming, but he was the center focus of the attack for Palermo, and expected to score most of the goals besides creating.


Draxler played majority of those game as winger, half a season as central AM. He was not the focus of the attack, nor is he a forward. He was still deadly enough mainly with his impeccable shooting ability and direct runs, to score 13 goals as a 19 year old, and later on hit 10 assists when he became more of a winger.


So in essence, he has had the kind of season Dybala has had as 22 year old, difference is Draxler did it at a younger age and in a different position.



Btw, its clear to me Dybala is the more gifted player, but just making clear you shouldnt underrate what Draxler did as 18-20 year old. Especially in CL too at that age.
Had good chemistry with FV too :D

im not underrating Draxler, i wanted him this whole time and still hope we sign him. the kind of season Dybala had last season, not only the superior goal/assist number in less games, but carrying that team basically on his own, that i have yet to see from Draxler (though to be fair, Draxler played for a bigger club)
and no, 2 seasons, one with 13 goals, one with 10 assists in more games, in all competitions, are not the same as Dybalas. Dybala is still 21 for the record ;)

but before this becomes a Dybala vs Draxler debate - my point from the beginning was: Draxler has yet to play a season like Dybala last year + his injury issues, which was an answer to people attacking Beppe for failing to sign Draxler, while saying he paid 40M for Dybala.

forgot something, Draxler would have 4.5M wages (?), another point why paying 40M for him and 40M for Dybala is a lot different

not underrating Draxler here, there is not much young players that can pull that kind of season off, but not paying more than 35M for him is justified
brah whether you like it or not, Draxler is the proven among the two, the guy has had like 3 good seasons at a younger age than Dybala, Dybala has had just 1 good half season (nice you are not pointing out how much he went missing since the 2nd half of the season), you can use Draxler's injuries against him that's fine, but please don't try to tell anyone Dybala is more proven than Draxler, they'd find it ridiculous.

Still think once we offload Llorentree we will see something big happen.

Don't shoot the optimist
the BIG question is when will that even happen, should have sold him before buying Zaza.

I really hope we don't spend more then 15 million on him in some desperate move to match Roma Mercato.
what? when was the last time you read anything Heldt had to say on this subject? :lol:
