Rumours Khedira has rejected a new contract at Real Madrid and is pushing for a move to Arsenal.

When you start buying world class players, everyone want to join its seems!

Having Poldi, Ozil and Merts in your ear probably helps too !:)

and while Juventus made a late bid to land the winger, their offer could not compete with that of Arsenal.

That is something i thought i'd never read.

Mr Blobby

So according to El Confidencial (who are very reliable) Khedira is available for €20M.
But Arsenal have been told that if Khedira were to sign he'd need to be there highest earner.. Which would be at around 150K.

Arsenal have been told Sami Khedira must be made their highest earner, on £150,000 per week, if he is to join the north Londoners. The London Evening Standard claim Spanish radio station Cadena Ser say the German international would need to be paid more than compatriot Mesut Ozil in order to leave Real Madrid.

Hmmm. All this public display of earnings is never good. Ramsey and Theo wont stand idly be either im sure if 2/3 lads coming in much higher even if they have just signed recent contracts.

Rambo just signed last year, on around 100k, as is theo.

They'll be graaaand.
Sure Rambo went and got himself a brand new haircut and everything.
He's rolling in the cash!

Well worth the fee. 20 million for him is good value for money.

Not worth the wages though. He must be on very high wages at RM.

Khedira would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal. Might be a tiny bit slow in the middle, but he’s very, very game-smart.

gosplan

I'll admit that i haven't watched Khedira play an awful lot but obviously he comes with a good reputation.

My feeling is that if you want the best in the world in that position - Khedira, Vidal, Yaya, etc - then you have to go some way towards matching wages at other clubs.

From Khedira's point of view. He's 27 and this will be his last big deal if it's 4/5 years.

If Walcott and Rambo stay fit, and have great seasons, then surely they'll be bumped up accordingly. But they're 25 and 23. They've another move if they want it and they've the opportunity to get a further wage increase if they merit it.

If Arsenal were to sign Khedira, we'd be getting him for the best years of his career. And he's one of the best in that position, so surely he feels he'd merit the salary.

Hes on the way lads https://twitter.com/mundodeportivo/status/487205222163709952

kevinroche3333

Relative to the other premium players in Khediras position 20-25 million is a steal!
Paying extra in wages over a four year contract still equates to good business!
Of course the club needs to keep a certain wage structure but imagine.....

Khedira Ramsey
Walcott Ozil Sanchez

QUALITY with the likes of Ox Arteta Cazorla Wilshere we would cope with some injuries and are back as genuine title contenders!!

Can't see Arsenal agreeing to him being the best paid footballer.

Dapics

According to that El Condifdencial report, Man Utd bid 40m for him last season.

I can see them going in for Khedira. Can also see Chelsea going in based on the articles statement that Mourinho is a big fan of him.

Gonna be tough with Khedira I'd say.

I think it's fair enough since he has a few years on our other big earners, though I agree I'm not sure we would do it.

If we have the money (we do) and we want the player we can pay it.
But I do think that if Chelsea wanted him he would go there as he is a fan of Mourinho and vice versa.

But at the same time, Barcaflop Francis Fabregas had public spats with Mourinho and now he suckles from his greasy breast.

Pepe LeFrits

Ew. Thanks for that image.

If he goes to Chelsea then a cheeky bid for Matic is a must.

Hyzepher

Again it will all boil down to AW's valuation of Khedira and what he believes are his strengths over players who would be cheaper.

I have a hunch that the whole Khedira away from RM was as a result of AW

TBH we dont need another CM even though we've been linked with Kroos and Pogba the last week or two both are highly unlikely to end up with us for various reasons.

Mickeroo wrote: »

feck off from Matic :mad: :pac:

TBH if we sign another CM it'll be more than likley that Mikel or Ramires will be chopped, then you've got Romeu whos likely to go, Josh MacEchran too.

wandatowell

The past few days have been (almost) worth all the crap we went through over the years.

so thrilled over Sanchez. Top quality baller. Biggest signing since Özil :P

Mr Blobby

No way we give Khedira 150K.
With Ozil on 140K and i'm guessing Sanchez on 120K I think 110K is fine for Khedira.

brianregan09

I think get Wenger on the phone to him AMD well be grand sign him u want to be the best you need to get the best in

Awesomeness

**** then I suppose we will just have to make to with Bender

Ed Winchester

I know we're all getting worked up. I am too.

But we've yet to see anyone on Arsenal.com holding up a shirt.

If any club can make a balls of things in the transfer market, its us.

Maybe we should get Enda, Obama and the Mexican ambassador on the case to see if we can sort it all out quicker

Angulo, never forget.

We’re not signing anyone, it’s just a ploy by Arsenal and Puma to get us to buy new Jerseys.

JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

In fairness I wanted to but I couldn't really argue with your picks. Though I did have a soft spot for Baptiste myself and probably wouldn't have had him in there, like Arshavin he managed 4 goals in a game at one point against Liverpool.

Ken Shamrock

Yeah i just kinda threw him in there because he was such a flop, and i can't really think of any wingers that were really really bad? Bentley?

Same, was looking through players and I couldn't come up with anyone else. Pennant maybe? Himself and Bentley never got much of a chance really though.

Ken Shamrock

Yeah they didn't but as it turned out both were fairly bad, although i remember Pennant had a good game or 2 for us?

Definitely better than the hoytes or tavlaridis

Pennant played for a few othe top clubs. Could look at some of the young lads that never made it. Randall or Aliadiere I remember both played on the wing

I was a fan of Oleg too, to date the only away game I’ve ever been to was Vs Wimbledon in 1999/2000 season and I remember singing the Oleg Luhzy, Emmanuel Petit, Thierry Henry song.
