Sami Khedira

I've a feeling, a hunch if you will, that we will end up getting him

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Pogba is a dream signing, Vidal looks like will staying, Kroos off to Real. If Jose think we need an upgrade in CM, Khedira is clearly the favourite.

[DavidEU 2,023]

If we sign this guy, or Vidal, or Pogba - we'd have a starting 11 to rival any in Europe.

Really exciting times ahead.

[Special Juan 28,132]

Reports saying we are in for him and sounds like Mikel out and Sami in!!

Cadena Ser reporting that Khedira to Arsenal is OFF for now because he is demanding huge wages - €9.5m per annum. Wenger will not go nowhere near this amount.

Madrid and Arsenal will only start the negociations when Khedira will "come down from his clowd" and accept reduced wages.

Nothing mentioned about Chelsea.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

His not needed we have Van Ginkel who looks impressive

[Special Juan 28,132]

Graham Hunter...

"A fee has been agreed with Arsenal but nothing more, Khedira holds all the aces because of wages etc but is also happy to remain in Madrid if it comes to it. Mourinho asked him to come to Chelsea when he left Madrid and as I understand it it's between two team and that's Arsenal and Chelsea"

Dont want him if it is at the cost of Matic's starting spot.

Also dont want to see 2 defensive players in the 2 from our 4-2-3-1.

Dont get this speculation as it doesnt make sense unless matic gets a less regular role.

Maybe Jose just doesn't want him to go to Arsenal. We can afford to get another cdm player and make Wenger look elsewhere but the problem is that it'll affect MVG's chances here.

Spanish newspaper El Confidential are claiming today that Khedira has performed a dramatic u-turn and is set to release a statement confirming his desire to remain at the Bernabeu.

El Confidential hint that despite the player now wanting to stay at Madrid, it could be too late. Madrid bosses didn’t take kindly to him rejecting their contract extension offer and the Spanish giants have just confirmed the signing of Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich.

Would rather we sign Tiago for a free, if Mikel goes. Khedira would be an expensive substitute.

[Spike 12,049]

Sign him because fuck those gooner cunts.

Look at this

L'Equipe, not the most reputable source out there, I know, says that Mourinho indeed called Khedira and told him that he is willing to pay those big wages that he demands (~€9m per annum), but only after he ends his contract with Madrid, in 2015, when he would come as a free agent at Chelsea.

Now El Confidencial is saying that Khedira has decided to stay in Madrid. Did Jose convince him to do this?

There are two ways to prevent Arsenal from buying Khedira - Jose either buys him, or he convinces him to stay for another year in Madrid/sign for another team, outside EPL.

Please,do not buy Khedira.He is not woth that amount of money.I have seen him in de Bundesliga,sometimes playing for Real and I have always watched him playing for the german national team and I can say that he has not the quality we need in midfield.yes,he can tackle but that´s it.He doesn´t have the creativity we need.I would rather play Ramires because Ramires does offer more than Khedira.Ramires is fast,can tackle and has a better positional play than Khedira.Please Chelsea,do not waste your money.In the last 2 years,Chelsea has made so good signings and we would destroy our good work at the transfermarket.

Noooo,I do not want to see Khedira at Chelsea,nooooo^^

28 year old Khedira on a free but with £200,000 a week? I suppose this topic will be full of critics until that happens next summer then!
