Yea, this is what I observed when watching his videos (unless someone wants to suggest otherwise). A lot of the time he cuts back in on his right. What we need is someone who will beat a man and cross in on his left.

Very odd that PSG want rid of him already considering they only just signed him. There were rumours about his attitude previously wasn't there?
It was often reported that he sees himself as a #10.
Ahh buddy come on, from the moment Neymar move was looking likely. We here at the caf were asking who'd be off.
He and ADM were the obvious choices.
He had the coutinho attitude... He wanted to leave for a bigger club. Be a little onesided that rumour.
Yeah but the Perisic thing was going on for ages
Only watched him a little bit in the champions league last year but I'm surprised to see that people seem to rate him so highly. I think that even Memphis was more successful than him last year and we really don't have a need for a inside left winger/ attacking midfielder.
Yeah, not really.
How so?
Miles better stats, at least.
French league stats last year
Draxler 12(5) games 4 goals 1 assist
Depay 12(4) games 5 goals 7 assists
Memphis has barely been average, his only decent games have been when Lyon were largely on top and it wasn't because of him. While Draxler in the last six months of the season was arguably the second best attacking player for PSG outside of Cavani.
Which is why you don't judge players on stats.
True, but it could also be argued that PSG appeared quite committed to Draxler right up until a better option came along. This window has already thrown up more than enough surprises for me to rule anything out just yet.
Although, i concede selling Lingard after buying Draxler would be right up there in terms of surprises.
True but its gone form almost dun dealio to Ivan who? And roughly around the same time too.
Still dont mean we are in for Draxler
I was impressed with Draxler in the Confederations cup.
Don't follow him at club level to give an accurate assessment, though.

Been wanting us to buy him for years purely on GIFs and Youtube clips, though nowadays he strikes me as the epitome of a Youtube talent.
Also strikes me as someone that'll never know nor get to play in his favourite position.

Pulling this out of my arse but he seems like a player who will always lack consistency. He will have some brilliant to great cup games and perform decently at intl. level but will never be integral or hugely vital for a team winning the league etc.
Ok.
Maybe the question would be , is there a need to replace Mata with him?
same here.
The guy was class playing as a wide playmaker.
Now, i don't think he benefits us because we already have wide playmakers on the right wing (Mata and Mikhi).
I prefer our left side to be the fast lane (Rashford/Martial).
To me Draxler is a big game/big club performer, who gets bored easily. He´s the guy you make captain so he plays great (Confed Cup) contrary to the guy you make captain, cause he plays great all the time. In other words, he´s the guy that won´t do it on a cold night at Stoke. 
Which me to believe that Jose would strangle him considering as he said this to Ozil:
That's a fair question I think. I like Mata quite a bit. Chips in with a decent number of goals and assists.
But doesn't quite play well enough like say silva to compensate for his lack of pace and strength.
Draxler would be probably as creative.
I agree. He loves big games. He loves challenges. He was brilliant in games against Chelsea or Real for example. But he really doesn't care about small games at all. But when he cares he's good. Really good.To me Draxler is a big game/big club performer, who gets bored easily.

So incredibly hyped this guy. Has got decent to excellent skill and technique but thats about it.
Arsenal fans believed they could turn him from a winger into a striker and transform him into van Persie 2.0
Want him nowhere near here, Martial and Rashford are twice as good imo over the course of the season. He can be great on his day though.

Yeah I'm not arsed with him tbh, he's been average everytime I've seen him, that together with the fact he plays in Rashford and martial's role it's a no from me
He looks like RvP (face, body structure and height all similar) and moves a bit like him. Want.
I'm a bit concerned about how he seems to frequently move clubs. He wasn't at Wolfsburg very long and he's only been at PSG five minutes.
Theres a quality player in there,i think he's one of them who when he gets settled at a big club, probably whoever buys him next, he will start to flourish. Really hope liverpool or arsenal dont get him if coutinho and sanchez end up going. Id gladly have him here,he'd be an upgrade on mata for me.
Hasn't really lived up to the early promise he showed at Schalke as a teenage prodigy. But he did very well at PSG last season after making the switch to France. They're now disregarding him to make room for their new toys.
Did'nt realise he is only 23, miles away from the finished article, so maybe a chance for Jose to show his coaching skills
wut?Is he left or right footed?
He is really good I do rate him, buy him and sell Lingard right away.
Probably Arsenal.
My guess would be to Arsenal or Liverpool..
Arsenal.
I think it has Arsenal written all over it, if there's any truth to it. Possibly to replace an outgoing Sanchez.
Ox, more likely.
Can also be Spurs. They need depth and quality on the wings atleast. Probably the reason why they were after Martial too.
