Any idea what his current weekly wage at Real is? 

 

Looks like he is earning £50k the three places I checked.

With Lampard and Ashley off our books we could easily accommodate Khedira's ludicrous demands. the question is, do we NEED him? 

What a difference a makes... Twenty four little hours. 

 

 

And now we're favourites again to sign Khedira after Arsenal allegedly refused to meet the wage demands of the man who is probably too busy celebrating being World Champion to care about transfer rumours.

I'd rather give Kroos 200k than giving Khedira 150 or w/e he demands.

If we're even in for him

I pray we're not in for him.

If it were Khedira or Pogba who would everyone want? Don't mention the price tag though I'm speaking in terms of talent and who would fit our system better?

Pogba, no brainer!

 

However it looks he won't be moving now so I'd be inclined just to go for Vidal, who is twice the player Khedira is.

Both similar, but pogba is better technically, scores more goals, and at 21 he will likely improve.

I would take pogba over Khedira all day, every day.

Not to mention Pogba is 3 times the athlete that Khedira is

Would definitely feel like a downgrade in our transfer targets, assuming of course that we do actually have a realistic interest in pogba.

 

Pogba > Khedira.

And Pogba count as homegrown? Right?

Fee seems rather high too if he has just 1 year left on his deal. Again if he really wants to come here and if Jose real wants him why not wait a year and get him on a free, then those 150k demands do not look so bad without the 23.5mill transfer fee. 

 

Same can be said of Felipe Luis.

It seems like Arsenal have signed him already... (Sport, MD)

If they have then fine tbh he will improve them and I think they will be top 3 next season but he's very injury prone so it could be bad piece of business on their part

Espn is still promoting this story referring to an abc (Spanish source). Jose apparently rang him personally

NSA strikes again! 

 

Now Jose's phone has been tapped. 

Think he's definitely going to Arsenal now, don't see us hijacking this one

Who is Khedira the equivalent to?

Im not that impressed by Khedira and dont think he improves the Arse that much.

Reports in Spain suggest Arsenal have agreed a £20m deal for his transfer. 

I think he will be an upgrade over Arteta, but I dont really rate him that high. Dont think hes going to be that much of a difference maker for them. Would rather they signed him then some of the other players they have been linked with.

If he keeps on getting injured he'll be bad business for them plus with their amounts of injuries per season they obviously don't have the best medical team

Woodhogan :)

I agree it does depend on whether Khedira stays fit, but I think he is the sort of steely competitor arsenal have been missing for years. Could be the difference between a serious title challenge, and a 4th place finish.

Mind you Khedira is a good player. He'll improve Arsenal very much if he keeps fit.
