On 5 live just now, German football bod Ralph Honigstein says Draxler to Arsenal very unlikely this transfer window - more likely trying to tie up a deal for the summer.
According to him we haven't exactly been pulling up trees to get this done.
sigh
Draxler unlikely this window...

I said I think we won't Bats but that doesn't mean I believe we can't or don't have a chance.

Of course we have a chance but those chances will be minimal if we don't strengthen.
That being said, I will not freak out if we don't (which I very much expect). This team has exceeded my expectations, even with Draxler I don't think we can win the league. I just think City and Chelsea will have too much for us. What I want more than anything is to win the FA Cup.

Wenger doesn't buy for the sake of it even when he's under pressure and I'm happy about that because a lot of players fans are desperate for us to sign often turn out to be carp

I agreed with this 8bit and I also think it is the right thing to do.
However, Wenger is not flawless.
In the past, he might have refused to strength the team because it would kill so and so development.
admittedly, he does look like he has changed and not afraid of getting right off deadwood. Might that continue

We are top because City and Chelsea had a slow start and we hit the ground running - we were 5 or 6 pts clear at one stage, now it's only 1 point since they've got up to speed. We have City and Chelsea to play again - 3rd is the best we can hope for, which is be happy with. However I think United being United could pip us to it

HotHead, we are top because we have been in the best league so far. Lets not forget that Liverpool were top at Christmas, we were humped at City who were just 1 point behind us and we have gone on a winning run which has seen us reclaim top spot and maintain the 1 point gap over City. It's not like they have been slowly catching up with us week after week, we have been holding our own and have a great chance to widen the gap over them over the next week as they have 2 tough games coming up vs Spurs and Chelsea.

Their run is nowhere near as tough as ours over the next couple of months, we have all of united, Chelsea, City and Liverpool to play, that's without our CL games v bayern.

City have to play at OT, Anfield, WHL, the Emirates, Goodison, the only team in the top 7 they haven't played at home is Chelsea. They also have 2 games against Barca.

I just want 1 world class striker and I believe we would have close enough to an amazing team

AW tried to get Mesut in 2007 before he went to Madrid. HE is one of the most 'wenger type players' i have ever seen.
I'd agree there is more to come from the turk-man, but it can't be coincidence that we are top?

Apart from Giroud and Podolski, why do we always sign players so late in a window ?
