Love it to be true, Draxler is top quality. But wouldn't wrap my chips in the Metro.

Schalke won't except 17 million over 17 years or a straight swap for Sigurdsson so forget about it, Bale money is done.

This is a non-story. Draxler has already said he will stay one more year with Schalke and then move on to a Champions League club.

Metro: "Tottenham are set to make a £17million bid for Schalke play-maker Julian Draxler as the club kick-on with their transfer plans."
Yes, sure, it is well-known that Levy love bargains and starting off with very low bids for targets... but not even him would bother to try bidding paltry £17million for Drexler.
As for Spurs to "kick-on" their transfer plans with such a bid, oh yes. Besides, Draxler is not a play-maker.

Metro: "According to two Gelsenkirchen newspapers." Which one's they don't state. Spurs are playing Schalke in a friendly on 8th August; so could it be that Metro mistranslated that announcement to means something else...

Tbh, this view may be instantly disliked or abused
But eriksen was very very highly rated and regarded by all the top clubs. And we snatched him at what people will view as a very low price... Perhaps it's not that little for draxler ? But levy can work some incredible deals...

Erisken rejected man city and I think RMadrid ... Although the latter I may be wrong about. And then he came to us... So what's your point ?

Similar but not the same. The premiership is a big step up from the Eredivisie, and Eriksen had achieved all he could in Holland. Draxler is playing for the club he supported as a boy, and the club whose academy he came from, he's the jewel of the team, who are doing consistently well in one of the world's top leagues, and has offers from top clubs all across the globe. But you're right, he's going to come to Tottenham for £17m o_O

I didn't say he was going to come to us, or for 17m did I ?
I was merely stating, that these things aren't impossible.
Maybe the 17m part as I coulda sworn when the arse were last in for him it was 40m ? Or was that his buyout ? So not not 17m unless we had a clause that said they would get 95% of his next transfer xD

Just forget about it mate. I can tell you with complete confidence it wont happen, at least not in this window and not for any less than £25m

Ok, patronising arse I wasn't saying he was... I was only casting a differing view that it wasn't as impossible as everyone was making out. But I agree nothing less than 25m, and he is only going to a CL club. You forgot that part.

Where did you read that? Another Metro story maybe.
If any of those clubs have come in with bids they would have blown Spurs out the water. All big clubs were keeping an eye on Eriksen because of his well-known talent but his performances were very erratic so the big clubs were hesitant.
