Sorry, I totally didn't see this reply till now. He may not be as sound technically as we would like, but I value people with smart decision making on the pitch. And I think that for a box to box midfielder, he is smart compared to others in that position. We lacked that massively last season and would have won some matches if someone passed at the right time or shot at the right time. Muller is an example, his abilities is not supposed to put him ahead of Götze in Germany, but he is as intelligent as ever for the position he plays. Overall I think khedira's IQ overshadows his technical deficiencies.
