nyikolajevics 2,692 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 When did I say he would be coming to us?You didn't but this is Khedira's thread in transfer talk and we are reportedly interested in signing him. Matic-Fábregas in the pivot works very well, Ramires is much better than him, Mikel is a decent backup, Aké is very promising. I hope Mourinho doesn't want him.

We need first team players to improve our squad.Mikel and Khedira are different type of players. Obi is a backup for Matic: big, strong, high passing accuracy, lots of tackles.. Khedira is more like a box-to-box. Not a bad player but it'd be pointless to sign him and let Rami go, even if we earned a couple of millions on the Brazilian.

Spike 12,049 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm agaisnt this signing for a few reasons. One it would prevent Ake from getting game time, and we all want him to succeed here. Two, he's injury prone. And finally he just wouldn't improve our squad that much, is he better than Ramires? I'm not so sure. And he wouldn't be happy with having a Mikel like role here.Well if he is injury prone then Ake will still get game time.>implying Ake gets gametime anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict a lot of activity this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Isn't he out of contract soon? Worth a stab if that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Mikel and Khedira are different type of players.

Not a bad player but it'd be pointless to sign him and let Rami go, even if we earned a couple of millions on the Brazilian.Actually the opposite is te case. Khedira is a classic DM. He is built like Mikel and has the exact same athletic characteristics. He is the defensive part of a dp mostly. Has a wider range of movement and tackles and is a bit more adventurous than obi. In short not even worth half of the salary he gets. If we sign him for a good 60 k PW he would be nice and tidy backup to magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 209 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Seems like this world cup champion has really fallen out of favor in Madrid huh. Next year will be him being one year removed from his knee injury (corrrect me if im wrong).Wouldnt mind signing him for cents on the dollar (..or pound) especially since he's worked with Mou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Mourinho really likes taking his previous players on free transfers/loans (Eto'o, Drogba, Essien). I can easily see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,504 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wouldn't mind Khedira at Chelsea, especially on a free transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,896 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 His reported wage demands are pretty insane. Even on a free transfer would we really pay a squad player those massive wages? Plus, he's not exactly young and seems to get injured quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 His a free signing and if Jose can convince him to sign for a reasonable wage it would be a great addition to our squad. Matic next to Khedira would be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Is he really any better than Mikel? I have never, ever been sold on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
