Said we should have signed Scheweinsteiger three years ago, and two years ago, and last year and I say it again this year. Shame though because the years are ticking on. Even so, the guy remain the best at what he does. We'd still get 3-4 years out of him, enough time to put our Pogba bid together. But the dedicated DCM thing is a bit of a red herring in terms of Arsenal. Vieira was the best we ever had, but he wasn't a DCM in the true sense. If we could find a carbon copy nobody would have any problems with sticking him in the team with Ramsey. Adding all the other reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, Khedira is the right move and I hope we pull it off. But I've seen the same reports, apparently his demands are a bit silly. Some say imminent, it looks to be more like 50/50. But that's a huge improvement on the 100% no chance made up fantasy bullshit we've seen in prior seasons.
