PSG to buy him for £40m in January?
I'm with TeamAmerica. 8 million on 100k wages is fine by me. Podolski is on that himself and we forget he even plays for us..... incidentally he would have been a decent option from the bench today!
Khedira is a fantastic player, but he's not the DM we need.
reading that we are in talks with Rabiot - havent heard of him myself, anyone else know of him?
Yep, Wenger said a few weeks ago that he isn't interested in Khedira because "we have enough attacking box-to-box midfielders".
Not sure who Rabiot is but I'm pretty sure we aren't in the market for a DM now that Arteta has been made the captain, unfortunately.
Only what I've read and seen of him over the last couple of weeks since we started being linked with him - very highly-rated, young CM, either defensive or creative, depending on who you read? From the few bits I've seen of him he looks like he has a bit of both sides to his game, but I personally think he looks far more of a deeper / defensive midfielder than someone you'd put in the more advanced positions - yes, he joins the attack a lot, but it looks like it's usually after winning the ball deep and bursting forward with it. Dare I say it... on first impression, he looks a bit like the player that we wanted Diaby to be (the good Diaby that he shows us teasing glimpses of once or twice a year before he turns average again, or gets injured)? I've also seen it suggested that he's a bit like Petit in terms of his passing range from that deeper area, which also looks a fair shout.
The trouble is though, these are all thoughts based around a couple of highlight clips, and they don't really tell you whether he's consistently like that over 90 minutes, every game, or whether what you're seeing is a few one-off good bits, here and there? I'm sure Diaby would look like the player we want Diaby to be in a highlight clip.
What are they talking about, £5.5m, or something like that? Could be tempting - potential bargain at a price that represents no great risk (financially speaking, anyway)?
