He also has an amazing weak foot and one of the best long shots in the game. He's like a love child of nedved and Ibrahimovic. Much more versatile than Gotze.

he does drift on the left side more than he does on the right but he mainly plays CAM.

He did have a bad injury, but he's okay now.
This guy gets it :tup:

Cant wait.

Also cant wait to see @Nostradamus cry

:tup:

how is his vision and what about his shooting?
I posted game videos a few pages back. Go take a look.

Hes long shots rival Pogba but doesn't have the same technique. Pogba has better.

His dribbling for his height will remind you of Ibrahimovic.

His ability to shoot rockets with both left and right from 30 yards out will remind you of Nedved.

JD stands for Just Dick. All he had to do is show up.

Draxler is one hell of a talented player as I said most of you don't like him and hate on him because it means We won't Goetze not because he is a bad player. He is really really a great player. I would love Goetze to join us but imo Draxler is as almost as good as him with huge potential for improvement.

While Goetze has been riding the bench and it seems like he will continue to do so, Draxler has been playing and improving.

If Goetze is thinking of a move to Juve so much then he doesn't deserve to wear the #10, watch him become another Giovinco if he stays one more season in BM.

He's a good player, but clearly a step down for our midfield when you factor in the loss of Vidal.

True but why do we have to compare every player we get now to Vidal? I get we have a loss but we are stacked with class players in midfield and with talents, we've managed and played great without Vidal for 6 months we can do it again for whole season plus he was played out of position for way to much without the same impact and truth to be told he wasn't the same player as last year. Don't get me wrong I don't hate on him I love Vidal he is a true warrior and has done to much for this club.

My point is let's judge Draxler because of Draxler not because of Vidal.

Only time will tell whether our overall team has improved but both Draxler and Sandro would be excellent additions in my opinion.

It's an end of a cycle and start of a new one.Our team dynamic has or will completely change.

Excited to see the new Juventus.

Because admitting that the midfield is taking a step backwards is admission of regression and rebuilding, rather than remounting a similar charge to the top.

If we're mortgaging the next couple of seasons in hopes that lesser replacements will develop into bigger stars in the future, that's a very risky strategy.

This at a time when we need to close the distance by regularly visiting CL QFs+ instead of becoming an Arsenal

We didn't lose anything in midfield, our midfield was coping fine without Vidal and truth to be told we didn't even notice he wasn't playing when Pereyra was in B2B position and we all know it. we have to many workhorses in our team and we sold our most valuable one and risky one (with injuries) for young creative AM that we lack. We aren't taking a step backwards we are simply changing formation and strategy. With selling Vidal we are getting young AM and hell of a talent and world class LB positions we need to get filled in order to remain competitive.

And at a time where we just raised a record amount of revenues - future seasons are likely not to be as kind to us - and instead of investing with that opportunity we'd go conservative and bank the money??

That doesn't make sense.

What else can we do ?

Our inferior finances mean we cant replace stars with stars.

Götze is not happening

We are not banking the money, we are re-investing them into completing our team which tbh is incomplete. AM, LB and RB are needed.
