Khedira

[REJE]

Metro. It's bollocks.

Multiple papers all reporting the same story at the same time, not just Metro. Thanks for telling us it's bollocks though, good job we have someone with your insider knowledge on the caf.

Even if the wage demands are ridiculous it would be offset in full by the low transfer fee. He'd basically be playing for free in fact if the price quoted is true as we'd be saving about £15 million pounds from the inital price.

 

[sajeev]

meh, he isn't good enough to change the midfield situation. he will only be like the rest of them

Good enough for Madrid for the past 4 years, good enough for Germany.. But not good enough for our midfield? One player doesn't change the situation sure, but him Vidal and Herrera in there would compete with the best of them.

 

[An Irish Red]

Why not go for him and Vidal? We need two more CMs.

I think this as well. I'm sick to the teeth of watching Fellaini and Cleverley to be honest. Neither are good enough to be regulars here.

JUST BRING IT!!!

Seriously, our problems in midfield are so glaring that adding one more to the list can only help us. Add a few more, then get rid of Fellaini and Cleverley; it would suit with me.

After writing that post I asked that same question myself.

We actually need them both

I've not found that £8m/€10m in the Spanish press yet - the last figure I read was €20m. I wouldn't be surprised if the did bring the price down but I'd be surprised by the timing. Madrid want to know how Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern etc respond.

Wages wise he won't be cheap, but they might not be insanely high. He wasn't especially highly paid at Madrid - €2m after tax, that's about £65k/week pre-tax but he'll want a big payrise to move, otherwise he'll sit the contract out and get a signing fee instead. Madrid offered to negotiate a new contract but he turned them down, probably not on financial grounds but partly at least because he feels their new signings mean he's not going to be a starter.

 

[girish]

Oh just fecking buy him..

 

[RDCR07]

£8m? Don't worry Ed will walk in with a £3m bid first. Thats after preparing that bid for another ten days.

To be fair, they're all unreliable and it seems that they it all comes from the same report.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

If the price is true and we don't buy him then i don't know what's going on

Like many have said Khedira isn't world-class....but he's miles ahead of someone like Fletcher

They're literally all the worst sources, I wouldn't put it past them for them all to be copying each other.

 

[GaryLifo]

He'll end up at Arsenal even though they don't need him

 

[REJE]

I don't care. Showing people that my 'source' wasn't Metro.

 

[Raoul]

Multiple papers all reporting the same story at the same time, not just Metro. Thanks for telling us it's bollocks though, good job we have someone with your insider knowledge on the caf.

Multiple papers, all sourcing it from a highly speculative AS article - so yeah, basically tabloids quoting each other. Now we're discussing it here.

I fail to see your point, all discussion starts some place.

 

[Raoul]

I fail to see your point, all discussion starts some place.

The point is its pure conjecture, so its not likely to happen.

 

[RooneyLegend]

im not a fan of his but for 8 mil fire the jet up and get the white blanket out

 

[REJE]

The point is its pure conjecture, so its not likely to happen.

Everything reported prior to it being confirmed is pure conjecture, regardless of the source.

 

[RooneyLegend]

He needs to lower his wage demands though cause 150k a week is madness for him

 

[Raoul]

Everything reported prior to it being confirmed is pure conjecture, regardless of the source.

Or alternatively, 99% of everything reported is BS.

 

[ZIDANE]

No worries about the wage as Woody will eventually haggle the fee down to £5m.

 

[REJE]

He needs to lower his wage demands though cause 150k a week is madness for him

We've freed up £350,000 - £400,000 a week from losing Rio/Vidic/Evra/Giggs. We need to stop being so tight whilst at the same time bragging about how much money we earn, makes us look stupid.

 

[Sunny Jim]

So apparently Real have lowered his price to 8 million so they don't risk losing him for nothing next year. Am I the only one who thinks we'd be stupid if we didn't buy him?

Dont worry. We will not buy him

 

[vibe]

Absolute must of a signing and not at all mutually exclusive with Vidal. If anything, this gives us a cushion to land on should we fail to sign Vidal, which looks likely. Without either, we should probably start dreaming of what could be next season.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Too cheap and way too easy to sign.

We need a player that we will spend the whole summer at his saga and then sign him after a year which is gonna be another glory trip for our flawless chairman. Can't wait for the next interview in 2015.

 

[anchan1989]

Not the best out there for his position but at 100% one of them. As a German Im really interested where he goes. Can calm you all.
Bayern shouldnt be in. Not Peps type.

 

[mu4c_20le]

well, Fellaini doesn't want to leave , so this is a no-go.

 

[Sylar]

Why dont people rate him? I dont get it.

Would obviously like to see United get him. For 8m its almost laughable that price so I dont believe it. At 27, hes still got around 5 years at a top level IMO.

 

[Tarrou]

Oh I didn't realise it had been reported by the likes of the Daily Star, sorry!

No need to get tetchy. I just called bollocks because that's what I think it is. If you think otherwise, no problem.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

we should be after him in addition to vidal.

Isn't Khadera a really really good fletcher ?

 

[Ballache]

Get him, Vidal, Benatia, Di Maria and we're back in business.

 

[Blair]

we should be after him in addition to vidal.

Isn't Khadera a really really good fletcher ?

That's stupid, kind of like saying Ronaldo is a really really good David Bellion.

 

[jem]

Don't think he's anything special but he's miles better than anyone we have aside from Herrera and for that price he'd certainly be a good option and we should be all over it.

Especially since we need depth as well as quality in midfield.

 

[REJE]

If he was English he'd have an asking price of 35 million minimum. A proven international player for so cheap in a position we desperately need reinforcements, I said it before but we're stupid if we let him go somewhere else. It'd be worth it even at two, three times that amount.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

That's stupid, kind of like saying Ronaldo is a really really good David Bellion.

Well describe Khadera's style of play and then describe fletchers style of play. its hardly stupid im asking for clarification that they play a similar team role, ie that Engine in CM, a Box to box player without a ton of goal threat.
