So I know he was mentioned in another thread but let's start a new one anyways.

He's a talented 23 year old kid who's only being pushed out because Neymar.

Supposedly available for ~30 million.

Clubs rumored to go after him: us, Arsenal & Manure.

I don't think Manure will go after him - especially with how well Martial has started the season.

Arsenal need him if they sell Alexis, who's being heavily linked to City again (~70 mill bid incoming).

For 30 million, I think we're stupid not to sign him ... We have a long season ahead of us, he's talented, scores goals, and a far better option to spell Mane/Salah than Bobby.

Seems like a no brainer ...
 
That's a hell of a low fee in this market. Is he really that good, say better than Oxlade-Chamberlain good?

Talent wise - I'd say they're pretty equal (I'm an Ox fan), but Draxler is so far ahead of him in the curve because he's actually played continually in his position of strength for years and has rarely been injured.
If this price (or a loan) can be done, I'd do this in a second.
 
Klopp seemed pretty pissed that he seemingly valued the money most when it came to deciding which club to move to last January.
I somehow doubt Klopp will go back in for him if he believes he has that attitude.
 
Young people make mistakes (older people too).
Coutinho has also (allegedly) acted foolishly in this Barcelona transfer saga, yet I'm pretty sure that Klopp will have him back, if he stays here once the transfer window shuts down.
If Draxler is good enough for us, and wants to come, I'd take him.
 
I'd rather we focus our efforts on areas that need strengthening....defence.

We need a another AM/wide player.

We have no back up for Salah or Mane, Lallana out till December and Coutinho leaving at best in twelve months.

I think Draxler would be a decent move.
 
A loan with an option to buy for 30m would be ideal. Yes we do need defensive cover, but with Salah and Mane carrying the weight of our offensive threat we need another option.
 
You're mad.
I dunno. Draxler is coming up to 24, he hasn't kicked on. I know Marhez has only kicked on since joining Leicester. But for similar outlays, Mahrez is the one more likely to be productive for us.

Draxler mainly play's wide from what I've seen, direct and cross from wide. Mahrez can unlock defences.

If and its a big if, we sold Coutinho, we should be signing both if available.

THAT would keep me happy as a fan. Draxler and Mahrez in, Coutinho out and around £50-60m to spend on a CB/DM.

Win win win.
 
Well I think Draxler is still a bit more versatile than Mahrez. He's younger and cheaper as well.

I'm the complete opposite. Mahrez is more versatile for me, has more flair, can unlock defences, good set piece taker. Can beat people on the inside and outside.

Draxler available for £32m
Mahrez available for £40m
 
Is Mahrez really available for 40M?

I don't understand why Leicester would be willing to let him go for that - particularly at this late stage of the window - when they've seen Sigurdsson go for more.

The most attractive quality Draxler has is that he seems to be available. It seems to be incredibly difficult for us (and others) to close out deals right now and we are badly short on numbers and quality.
 
Definitely need more quality players. We have brittle squad. Can see this guy ending up at Chelsea, he has turned has down once

I think Draxler is more versatile and probably a safer bet to fit Klopp's style. I like Mahrez too – well, the version of 2 years ago anyway.
 
Mahrez is very good, he is hard to stop when he turns up. Put him in a 1v1 situation and he almost always get away to shoot or cross.

30-40m in this market. I am surprised there isnt more interest.

Everybody has been saying Kante won Leicester the league. Mahrez's contribution has been somewhat undermined in that season.

I will take him. He could well be our Mane MK II.
 
We'll find a way to fuck this up.
He'll go to Arsenal + cash from PSG in return for Alexis.
 
Are there any rumours out there there that indicate that we're even after him?
 
I've always had a hunch that Draxler could be converted into a Lewandowski type striker.

Klopp would be the man to do it.

1st two games of this season, he is the version of 2 years ago. Actually last third of last season he turned up again.
