Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
Reportedly Khedira has lowered his wage demands to £134k a week in a 'last-ditch' attempt at clinching a move, £134k a week presumably being the absolute barest minimum he can subsist on without spiralling into poverty, depression and, ultimately, death.
If that is after tax, I suspect the club will retain their ground.
There hasn't been any concrete proof we were interested in him. This is the obvious agent trying to get him a bumper new ego-soothing contract in the face of diminishing importance at a big club by linking him with Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG.
With Bender, there were confirmed bids. With Schneiderlin, we've had confirmed interest by two reliable BBC reporters. Nothing regarding Khedira.
In terms of cost, injuries and actual midfield attributes that would benefit the team, he's the most risky, so it's not a devastating blow that there's no interest.
Oracle Ornstein said we are no longer looking at Khedira, which maybe means there might've been some interest. I think Wenger might well sign a CM but with Arteta and Flamini fully rested for the new season he might wait to see who becomes available late on in the window. Whether it's Khedira, Carvalho, Schneiderlin whoever, Arsenal like to make a big deadline day story because they think they've got the upper hand in negotiations and can get better deals.
Metro reporting that he's dropped his excessive wage demands and is eager for a move over here.
Guessing the realisation that he's not going to feature in Madrid's plans next season has finally caused him to push for a move. It's only us and Chelsea seemingly interested and the latter don't really need him enough to pay what he wants.
Well the Bender bids were way back last summer so I have no idea why we're still being linked to him. Wenger opted out and has moved on imo.
If Sami boy has dropped the demands then there may be hope yet.... I think that the Specialist eejiot would have signed him by now if he wanted him. We are in a sense fortunate over the lack of opposition.
