I don't think we are in for him. Or even if we are, we have not shown any interest. The way Khedira links have developed its appears a move to flush out interested parties/draw bids

Infact similar is happening with Di Maria. Though in that case it is much easier to see..

RM are desperate to sell. These links with rumored bids are just to invite interest and bids. They do not want to let him leave for a free next year.

I would pay up to 20m for Khedira. Bender and Schneiderlin is around that price anyway.

El Confidencial reporting what i said earlier. Khedira has refused to talk about a contract extension.

lol! Serves RM right. Shit club the way it treats its players. Has Benzema signed yet? Zidane was all over him last month.

Think we should get in there quick. If Brendan has a chat with him first, it's game over.

lol! I doubt he is gonna pick Brendan's phone!

Schneiderlin > Khedira > Bender. Think Schneiderlin is the perfect fit for us and is only 24 years old, but Khedira would also be great.

I can't decide between Schneiderlin and Khedira. Either would be fine with me i guess!

Yeah, I think so too.

Darren Arsenal says we are in for a German defensive mid. Hmmm

Hasn't he turned into a bit of an attention whore? Seemed decent a few years ago until a couple of summers back when he quite evidently started spouting nonsense.

Yes, yes they are! 😃

"German defensive mid" is Mr X territory. If you really knew the nationality you'd know the name—ergo, you don't know either.

They attend the same mosque. #itk

Hmm, I don't know about Khedira. Not talking about his quality/ability.

He just doesn't feel Arsenal-ey, knahmean?

He feels chavy allright. I've always had a feeling Mou will be in for him.

Those jackets. 😆

Bring him in. Can't go too wrong with Germans it seems.

Is he as big as that or is Ozil just tiny?

Khedira is a big bloke. He'd be the biggest outfield player we have except for Per.

Bet Kheidera could take Giroud 😐

I think Khedira is bigger. I saw him at an airport once. Bloke is easily 6 ft 3 and carries enough muscles to outwrestle most centrebacks.

Giroud, despite his frame, is still a pretty soft player who struggles to impose himself physically in certain games. He got better at it last season but there's still a lot of work to be done there.

Khedira would flatten Giroud, steam roll him.
Exactly the kind of presence and muscle we need in midfield.
I love Arteta but I'd readily sacrifice him if we need to clear out some players in midfield to makeway for Sami.

Let's see if wengs pulls out his cheque book from his flip flop again then

Khedira would be another brilliant signing.

Love Khedira. Some are saying he's too similar to Ramsey but fuck it he's too good to turn down. Any 2 of Ramsey/Khedira/Arteta will do for the majority of our games. Go 4-3-3 for the big/difficult games. I'm confident Khedira and Ramsey would work fine anyway but even if it doesn't Khedira would still be a huge addition to the squad.

arteta is expendable, imo. khedira would be a good signing.

Is Khedira capable of playing slightly more restrained? Always looked a very impressive, powerful footballer, but is he smart enough to sit and protect a bit more?

he can, however wenger wouldnt ask him to curb his instincts. khedira would need to use his intuition on when to sit, which tbf he is probably smart enough to do.

I've been reading too many articles and "ITK's" and I've convinced myself this is going to happen... Damn it silly season

People probably thought about that with Alexis.

Arteta and Ramsey are a brilliant partnership. He is certainly not expandable unless we bring someone to do his job (i.e. not Khedira)

harsh. arteta is replaceable from the first 11, but can still contribute plenty to the squad
