Some papers claiming we're after Douglas Costa. Not sure why unless Cazorla's leaving

Its because he is one of the players who refused to fly to Ukraine for Shaktar. So all those players started getting linked. I reckon that is why. A dmf i think will be our last signing unless someone leaves.
 
The Khedira rumours have been rekindled.
The simple truth is that he needs to move. He's not going to get any playing time at Real next season with them bringing Toni Kroos in. A season on the bench will lower his market value and he won't be able to demand the high wages he currently is. He needs this move now while his stock is still high after the World Cup.

He's going to move to somebody. It's just about whether it will be us.
 
Can someone clear something up ... is Douglas Costa just a winger, or can he play up front?

Because we really don't need another winger ...

I tend to agree. Real now have so many midfield players to choose from, that Khedira will struggle for a first team place. He'd be brilliant at Arsenal and would like up so well with Ozil. If he's available, I reckon Wenger will go for it.

He has played down the middle before.

I highly doubt we are going to sign any more attacking players though.

I could see a Centreback or a DM come in but that would be it.

Hopefully it isn't us.
 
Rumour mill has gone completely dead for the past couple days. I was expecting us being linked to some DM related players, but even the usual Khedira/Bender ones have evaporated....

On a side note, I really hope we play Sanchez this Sunday as i'll be going to the Emirates :biggrin:

I guess, he wants to stay to leave as a free agent next summer. He has one year left on his contract. Even if his stock somehow falls by next summer, he will get much more money as a free agent.
I think Real tries to push the deal, they do not want to loose him for free. It is the club who needs to move him, not the player.

I shall have to wait until we play Palace on Aug 16th before seeing Sanchez. :(
 
Sanchez suddenly doesn't seem so expensive when you see Mr. Tight Kenwright able to spend £25m on a striker..
 
The majority of player (except our German ones) should be fit for the Emirates cup? We usually play close to full strength don't we?
I can't see Sanchez playing much if at all this weekend.He didn't go to the training camp in Austria.Everyone except the Germans seems to have gone to Austria so you should see all the first team squad play on either the Saturday or Sunday.I think Ospina will play on one of the days.

As long as I get to see a bit of him then that'll be cool. Either way I'll get to see the rest <ok>

Why would you say that?
He's tall, powerful, technically gifted and has formed a good partnership with Ozil in the past?

Ok so he's not a traditional holding player but the truth is Wenger doesn't really like those anyway. The last one we signed was Lassana Diarra and he barely got any games. For me Khedira would be an excellent addition.
 
Latest rumours are Bayern also join race for Khedira, we are after William Carvalho, also apparently some CB in france called *****ngu (if TV leaves). Also the big one is that apparently we were in for Reus to the tune of 30mn until he got injured. Broad spectrum of rumours right there.

He's not a holding midfielder at all. The best game he had for Germany was the 7-1 against Brazil where he was basically playing as an AM. He's not a better box to box midfielder than Ramsey, and if he starts next to Ramsey then either Ramsey will have to sacrifice his game so he can cover for Khedira or we'll get destroyed on the counter attack every game.
