Afternoon ladies and gents!

Another small update.

Draxler saw a medical specialist the other day, name escapes me, but it's a doctor regularly used by Bayern and the German national team.

He's been officially ruled out now till feburary.
As long as there's no set backs, and there's no reason there should be, he'll be fighting fit!

Wether the fact he's currently injured would have any effect on a deal is unknown.

What is seeming more likely is we're currently chatting up Draxler - above board - with looks to agreeing a deal now to sign him in the summer.

From what I can gather, we'd like to sign him now and the player is set on a move to Arsenal, but if we want him now, we have to pay the £37.5m release.

In the summer, Schalke will be more willing to negotiate.

There's still a real possibility of him joining in this winter window, but it's now looking more toward summer.

Wether we'll make any signings this window isn't known.

But I'm sure Wenger has it planned!


Peace.

There is NO possibility of him joining this window.

Sorry but you are clearly deluded and have no idea about Arsene's views on the January window.

Arsenal are top of the league and we are half way through the season . We only have Walcott missing Wenger does not see a need for a signing

1. The clause only becomes valid in the summer
2. According to the editors on this site the clauses aren't applicable across countries anyway (although I think they're wrong about that. )

If we do sign him it'll be in the summer, but by then I think a different target would have become available.

Rule 1 of a transfer window: don't read twitter
Rule 2 of a transfer window: don't read twitter

I agree with you, but if Draxler comes, it will be in the summer

I have it on good authority that Draxler will join us during the current window.
