After I posted I remembered that I've been calling for quality attacking reinforcements but after seeing us meekly surrender midfield in two tough away games, I've got me thinking we need some vitality, mobility and class in midfield. However, I'd take Draxler all day long and like you I believe he's an upgrade on what we currently have. Hope he's tough enough for the Premier League though.
I doubt a midfielder who would actually improve us will be available in january and we don't need another Elneny type of signing, we have the numbers
the midfielder who could improve us is playing at Bournemouth. We can't buy any more first 11 Midfielders.
If we want a CDM, then we need to sell our dross. Maybe sell Ramsey and Coq, keep El-Nenny for the bench, and get a solid CDM.
