If I'm going to spend 37 million pounds on a player, I'd take Draxler over Sane any day. Gone are the days when prospects were worth at most 20 million or so lol.

I put Draxler into the same category as Götze. Young, impactful but not yet solid enough.

I like Draxler, but he hasn't really improved for the last 4 years and theres no way that he is a future Ballon'dor talent, although he is still very young.

With Sane you can't be sure if he is worth the money yet. He has only been around for 1 season, it's kind of a gamble for City.

Sane carried Schalke last season tho, and he's only 20. And if Pep thinks he's good, he probably is.

By the way did we ever learn why Mourinho doesn't like Mata? Is he a Guardiola fan?

He dont want to be a jobber and play defense, also occasionaly tends to lose the ball in bad areas which is a big Mourinho nono. Then there is the exponentially downward spiral that are relationship breakdowns and gg.

Well with Mata Mourinho was on the right.
Overrated player, he was only special because he was Spanish during Spain's golden era.

Lets face it Mata is pretty average right now and has been for past few seasons.

I think both are fine. If you want to focus on football: better in here as the other thread will be crowded by other sports

Looks like good defenders are bloody rare now. Transfer money also getting more and more stupid. Cancelling my TV sub for football was the right choice

I believe he has got a contract till 2021? They might need to top Pogba if they really want him lol

EDIT: I read somewhere (probably BILD) that Bayern wants 65m and Pepe.... who dafuq would want Pepe???
