Yeah, but he's made full use of the space and movement from his team mates. Fair play to him.
I still wouldn't have him at United mind.
Sami Khedira
- Thread starter Vinay
- Start date

I rate him and always have. Very underrated player.
12 months left of his contract.
Madrid won't sell him anymore after tonight....they'll keep him so that kroos has a mate in madrid to help him settle....what a player
Good game but Brazil's lack of everything has made it so. Still don't rate him, and don't want him.
He's playing great but the context is special.He's never really impressed me. A very unintelligent player, Bastian and Kroos and even Lahm on the other hand
Me neither
Never rated him, and still don't, but yeah he was unbelievably good that first half. Bad sign for Brazil.
Having a very good game, as is pretty much every German player. Still don't want.
He's better than someone like Dembele for example who caf posters like to wildly overrate. He isn't rated because he isn't flashy like others but he's a workhorse. He'll get box to box, he has a decent passing range and he'll put in the tackles when needed. Had a good WC.
He has always been good for Germany, dont know why this performance is so surprising for people? Think he has always been a good player, he is one of those players though that for some reason you just dont like. He wouldnt be my choice for our midfield but he is certainly a better player than what we have had the last few years and a better player than most we have been linked with too.
Was injured with ligament injury in November.. Just come back in late May.. Great player and always was even when started out with VfB Stuttgart many years ago! Would love to have him here.
People still rate him highly? I thought he'd been found out a while ago.
Of course. Vertonghen, Luiz, Dembele etc. All players that are average/good but hyped up on the caf to worldy status by some which means players like Khedira are unfairly underrated.
A lot better than what we currently have.
Only a year on his contract and Madrid need to raise cash, I'd take him for 10-15million.

I don't think the two are linked. Khedira has had his best game in a while but it doesn't change the fact he has had some pretty bad ones in the past year for Real (before the injury).
Pleased to see him score. Deserved it.
That was some first half. On that form he'd make a massive difference to our midfield. Pick of the Germans.
Would be a good addition as a box to box player, particularly if we go 433. Needs to be the right price though.
Not the outright defensive mid i think we need though.

Exactly.
In a 2 man midfield he won't work next to Herrera. The 3 man midfield for Germany is his perfect position I think.
Was excellent today.
Don't particularly rate him generally though and one game certainly isn't going to change an opinion that has formed over several seasons. Still would not want.

Are the Germans on here still slagging off his selection?
He was exceptional today, best I've ever seen him perform. Would nearly tempt me into making a move...
If we're getting shot of Cleverley and Fellaini and there is no serious competition driving the price and wages up, I maintain that he would be an excellent addition to the United squad.
Carrick, Herrera, Khedira + 1 in the mould of a Vidal/box-to-box maniac and I think we're right back in the title hunt without question. Like Di Maria and Vidal, I wouldn't expect us to really have much of a chance but if there is a chance we're in for him, I'd be delighted (not based on tonight - I've said this before, I'm a jerk but my knee isn't).

To be fair he looked really shaky in the pre WC matches.
But he has really shown why he gets selected in the squad. He's having a really good WC, I also thought he played very well against Portugal and France.
He looked like a man who could do anything and everything tonight... largely because he was doing anything and everything. Great performance.
Sign him up, sign him up, Louis Louis sign him up
You'd think that'd be exactly what we want alongside Herrera... Seems everyone has their heart set on Vidal now mind, but bar us somehow pulling off that miracle signing, I don't know what better option is available on the market.
Well no, that's exactly what Ander will do. Don't be fooled by his baby face and the fact he's Spanish, Ander is very tenacious. He can basically do everything Khedira can, just with higher levels of technical ability and being able to play under pressure.
Yesterday night was the best i've seen him play in a while. Reminded me of the Khedira at the last world cup. Great performance.

Very lively and kept things moving quickly.
I have never been impressed with him. I think it is his Musketeer-esque facial hair.

It's great to see him have such a performance, and scoring, after being injured up until a few weeks ago. Had a great game and hopefully will replicate it in the final.
Luiz?!?!
Isn't he one of the players expected to get the axe at Madrid this summer? I think we should seriously considering making a move for him. I've always rated him and today he was fantastic. As someone said in the match thread he was playing like Zidane, especially in the first half.
Such a smart player. Uses his presence really well.
He's already been offered a renewal by Madrid. His wage demand probably jumped up last night.
He is a good player but don't want his type of player right now. He doesn't have the positional discipline or passing range to play as a 6 well, and as a 8 he is just really a pretty good water carrier.
I'd buy a 6 or if we are buying a 8 then he has to be really top class. (Vidal quality.)

Khedira and even Di Maria are being higher rated on here right now than even Most Real Madrid fans rate them.
Smart isn't something I've ever associated with Khedira. Can someone who constantly abandons his position and doesn't know when to hold really be classed as smart? Not for me.
Well I would say we have been watching different players then. He offers a lot of balance to the midfield. You have to have some brains to play in the German national side. Seems to do a good job in my opinion.
Caftards don't really anymore
