Presumably because they see him as a replacement for Draxler?

They've just spent what, £85m? Sold no one... and the gooners still think Wenger is going to spent £40m or so (assume) on Draxler?
Be funny if we got him in some sort of deal for Son. Not because I want Draxler, just for the humour of seeing twitter melt
Meh - that's what we thought when they signed Rondon last summer, too.
The TV money makes a net spend of £30m pretty ordinary by any premier league club.
Well, almost any club.

striker Loic Remy is close to a loan deal with Crystal Palace, saySky Sports.
Why does CP want Remy if they just signed Benteke? Are they expecting a forward being sold?

Levy gonna leave Poch with only 11 players, ain´t he? gotta have a positive net transfer 
Son, Chadli and Mason could give us like more than 50M to spend...

I wouldn't mind seeing Sturridge join Woolwich.
Wilshere probably needs someone to keep him company in the physio room.

We're selling everyone under the sun and no one is coming in. I'm actually getting kind of worried.
This is fucking ballistic.
Squad harmony! Squad harmony!
Then, we kick everyone out the door.
I know we may not rate Chadli, Mason, Son, Njie, Bentaleb and Pritchard that highly, (some more than others) but having them is better than kids Poch doesn't trust to come on against Everton. FFS. Who we going to throw on in the CL or if multiple players get injured?
If this is all the "youth will listen to me" Poch, it's turning into a farce. I bet we sign no one before the window closes too.
Also, not sure how the remainder of the squad feels now, with 6 or 7 of them being shown the door. That is sure to break spirit. Plus, even if they are better, it's just less competition for places, which they need otherwise you have coasters like Walker, Rose, Vertonghen and Kane used to do and which Eriksen does now.

The prospect of Sturridge at Woolwich is pretty scary, even if he's only fit for half the season he'll still score more than Giroud.
But then again, you'd still be surprised if there's a stadium being built! :eriksenlol:
We seem to be continuing our recent theme of ensuring every transfer window sees us in a surplus position.
It's as though Levy is playing some form of Russian roulette.
I mean I get the likely departures of Mason, Chadli and obviously we have already sold Pritchard and Townsend in the last year. I assume Fazio will leave as well.
Now I know Pochettino likes to develop youth but in no shape or form is our current squad good enough or deep enough and once again it just seems that we hope rather than expect to have a good season.
It's clear we lack pace if not strength and firepower if not intent.
Levy may have ice running through his veins but surely the Latin red that runs through Pochettino's cannot think it feasible to run a campaign on a player-light diet?
We are just so bizarre and those happy to slate the teams around us for their excess may need to at least recognise they won't have to bring the janitor on if they have a few injururies.
And we lack experience up top which is another mind fcuk.

I'd relax, Poch and Levy aren't stupid. We didn't get a sniff about the Son deal last summer, something is brewing.
I miss us having 20 defenders.
Just logged back on here to read Son could be on his way out, it's like a sunday car-boot sale at spurs right now. Levy standing behind a decorators table covered in old dvd's, some shitty vinyl records, and half the first team. It's getting late now, everyone's going home, 50p for Fazio anyone?
