Its actually very similar to people hating on Flamini. Throughout the dark years people were asking for some steel and leadership on midfield, now that we have someone to bark orders, keep it simple and work their socks off for the team he is not good enough?
love him as a squad player. bring him on in midfield when we're winning, occasional start here and there. as you say, his qualities are exactly what this team needs.
but you don't turn away khedira because you have flamini. i'm just not sure he's worth 135k when that might be more than ozil, ramsey or walcott. could end up costing us much more than the transfer fee+wages if he messes up our wage structure.
