Kojo 4,676 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Khedira works very hard, good engine, but i think Mikel is better on the ball, Mikel is brilliant at calming with pressure and his passing also his movment at making himself available, but off the ball Mikel gets beat by a lot of CDM's, he needs more pace.

Shak 22 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 He's better than Mikel.Obviously Khedira is better than Mikel as a true CDM...after-all, we converted Mikel from an attacking midfielder (a position where he sparkled for Nigeria at the U-17 World Cup..and won the Silver Award behind none-other than Argentina's maestro, Leo Messi) to a defensive midfielder.I'd prefer Chelsea to look at Yann M'Villa IF we were interested in signing a CM/CDM for the future. He looks the real deal for his club and for the French national team.What our team lacks more than anything is a real maestro. Someone like Modric; Jovetic.

Spike 12,049 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I like Khedira, I really do. I have no doubts he would be a great players for, but it stands to be said that we really don't need him. Though squad rotation is always nice. Though I've always likened him to a more Essien Box To Box rather than a pure CDM like Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 why do we even need khedira. already GOT mikel,essein,romeu for cdm position. whaT we do need is a winGer and a defender as alex and terry are inTo heir 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't like Raul playing at CDM.You're right he is more like essien, but we all know that by the time essien returns and regains his form, he'd be injured again...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 He is a player like Miereles is he not?If so, pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 We don't need him.Mikel is first choice DM, if he's out then there's Romeu to play there.... and Meireles can also do a decent job in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francozola 2,040 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Don't think Essien will ever be the same again. Lets see how his recovery goes but if there are any more setbacks then we should just part company with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, nothing is blocked in a time wrap or some similar stuff. It ain't because he was the Bison yesterday that he will remain the best midfielder tomorrow. And do you even know why so many people are doubting in him ? Because he has just picked up his third knee injury. The third in three year. One injury of this type can easily put a term to a player's career, so let alone three of this injury. Futhermore, we have witnessed that he wasn't the same after his second knee injury, his overall level has well decreased. Thus, we can only figure out the worst for him. In my honest opinion, I do not think we will ever see him again playing for us... So, if we see him in a Chelsea shirt again, that would be a great achievement, to my eyes.ps : By the way, what's this habit with the capital letters ? Lol.

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 We've got Essien, Mikel, Romeu plus Meireles and Luiz who can play that position. Simply covered in that area. What we do need is perhaps a winger, playmaker and a right back unless Bosingwa performs solid through out the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
