very conflicting reports around Khedira. Some outlets saying its done whilst others saying he wants too much $$. I wouldnt pay him more than Sanchez or Ozil. He would be a great signing though.

Yep, not sure a CM pairing would work of those 2 would work. Khedira(and Ramsey) would be better suited next to a Matic style player.

Not unless Wengers looking to change to a 433 and is also bringing in a DM.
You going to buy him and loan him out?

I hope we buy him so you can't have him.

I remain highly skeptical of the Khedira rumours as it hasn't really been reported in any reputable papers (and Sport is a Catalan publication who usually fling stuff towards Madrid).

For the alleged fee and wages, I think Wenger would baulk and instead move for a deep lying mid. Time will tell.

It was in Marca today.

Don't be ridiculous, Khedira would be a walk up start in our side. Would be perfect in the pivot next to Matic and spell the end of guys like Ramires and Mikel.

I would love to sign him, but I think he'll end up at Arsenal. Not sure he's really what you guys need 1st team wise, but he'll add great squad depth and competition for places.

You may be on the money with this one glen ferry. Just doesn't seem to have any real legs. The whole 'put off by wages' thing was actually reported about a week ago. Could it be that this was a big media beat-up? It looks like it.

While he'd be a good signing I also think there are better deals out there for the type of defensive midfielder that we actually need.

Anyone see what Podolski blurted out as part of the German celebrations? If it were up to Podolski, Khedira would already be a gooner.

Yes it would be surprising if we pay him those wages, particularly when there are other alternatives/better options for us out there. But it's highly possible the story has just snowballed out of nothing eg Draxler in January. There was a mild interest from us but according to the press we had a delegation in Germany about to put pen to paper.

Missed it, what did he say?

Someone asked Kehdira where he was playing next season and Podolski jumped in and yelped 'Arsenal'.

Real Madrid have removed his kit from the club shop as well.

Interesting. Looks like Podolksi has adopted some Barca tapping up tactics.

MARCA are saying we've agreed with Madrid a 25m Euro fee and have offered Sami 7m/year (Also Euro I believe) He is yet to accept though.

Of course, could all be BS.

On more positive fronts, it is expected that Debuchy and Ospina may be announced by the end of the week.

I'm terrible at maths, do you know how much that would make Khedira on per week roughly?

Depends on whether it's before or after tax.

It's either ~106k/week or ~194k/week in pounds. I think the article says 7m net so that'd be ~194k
