Ed - read this morning about Song potentially leaving Barca in January with his agent speaking to clubs. I can't see it myself having bought Fellaini, but are we one of the clubs?
Secondly, this isn't MOTD fever, but have we any interest in Draxler at all? Will be one of the best in the world in 2-3 years and will surpass Gotze in my opinion and if what Honigstein said about him having a 45m euro release clause is true, I think it's one of them signings we simply can't pass on. {Ed002's Note - (1) I suspect the summer is a more likely time for Song to move and I would rather doubt Manchester United would be interested. (2) There have been offers and enquiries for Draxler. Both Milan clubs, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired at one level or another about Draxler - each has met a "not for sale" barrier. I don't expect a move this coming January. I would not get wrapped up in this whole "release clause" thing again.}

Good performance against Shakhter in tough environment. Win would have been great but still hard fought good point away from home. Still top
