Khedira is a good player and has loads of experience but if we have a choice between him and a proper DCM then the choice is easy.

We dont know if Wenger is going for him because he is his number 1 target ot that others (mentioned above) arent available/their clubs dont want to sell etc.
When we were buying second best and going on supermarket dashes that left the team short and lacking quality, a dedicated DM would have been useful just to compensate and give us a bit more steel to resist opponents with more quality. In the last couple of years we have started buying genuine talent. There's no need to think about shoring things up any more, we should be thinking about how we'll take advantage. Khedira brings more than Schneiderlin. Not just on the pitch but as a greater expression of ambition. Plus it's a cumulative effect. The more winners we have here the more winners will want to come. In a most pleasant surprise the club is now moving up, let's ride it while it lasts and not be looking back (unless it;s all the way to the Invincibles)
