Where has he gone?

He's not gone yet but plenty of rumours that City have had a bid in that region accepted.

Too bad City's sorting out their problems in defense.

I reckon he's an over hyped, over priced Wanyama.

Well I'm relieved someone got that. I hadn't a clue what Dules was talking about.

Wanyama looks better to me.

Gazza M

He's better than the guys being mentioned here, he's just a big risk at 30m. Think the reason we're weighing it up is because we can get him on low wages in comparison to khedira, and can deputise at cb

Meatwad

probably less injury prone than khedira as well. khedira's history and our history don't seem like a good match.

kamikaze

24m seems a bit steep. the guy is a beast though, and has good passing technique. he's not stocky like huddlestone or wanyama, either.

QuincyAbeyie

I haven't seen enough of this guy to really form an opinion. If he's a big a talent as some say, it'll eventually be more than worth 24m. From what I saw in the WC however, don't want.

if the prices quotes for khedira are true, he represents even less value than carvalho imo

Jed

Wanyama is a rich mans Song. Carvalho is the real deal.

kamikaze

agree gazza, khedira's total cost is rich.

I didn't realise Khedira have so many injury problems in Madrid. I quick search on his time at Stuttgart shows the same injury prone player. Hmmm

Here's a good write up on Carvalho
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jun/05/world-cup-2014-portugal-william-carvalho

I watched alot of his compilations recently and although it isn't the best representation, he does seem more of a deep lying playmaker than a proper defensive mid you guys think.

Gazza M

he's not a pure dm at all. he can play as well as put his foot in.

Nela

Khedira's injury record is a big worry, especially if you're going to commit so much money to a deal.

Carvalho actually makes more sense in terms of estimated investment and value. If he's as good as people say, of course.

I don't know how anyone can seriously justify one regular season in football and that too in the Portuguese league being better than a player who starts (when fit) for the world cup holders and champions league holders.

Khedira's unfortunately gone the Sagna way of poorly handing his contract and let down by the fact he broke his leg in the 2nd last year of his deal. If he'd had a smarter agent he'd have re-negotiated in 2013 and he'd have had 2 big contracts instead of one.

Did you even read what Gaz said?

Not once did he say Carvalho was better than Khedira.

Why do people compare black players only with other black players? It's like you think they're all the same. There's plenty of white players for comparisons.

I've read Carvalho is too much like Song and that he is an overhyped overpriced Wanyama. Failing that he's Huddlestone.

Why not compare him to James Mccarthy or Michael Carrick or Mascherano. I get that they're all more established but they're game might be more similar. And given that it looks like either Carvalho or Khedira why not compare him to the latter?

lorddulaarsenal

Not sure on carvalho he reminds me a bit of Eddie Murphy. Especially in his Raw days
