Cheeky double bid for Khedira and Di Maria, tbf - Real won't be needing them, if they've got Kroos and Rodriguez in the bag...

This one is dead according to David Ornstein (BBC). He says we are still in the market for a DM so I imagine we are after Carvalho of Sporting or Lars Bender.
Something must have gone badly wrong at the unveiling.
Apparently he wanted to sit on a giant weighing scales while we added gold to the other side and balanced things out. I think he wanted his agent on his lap too. Then Remy arrived towing a 4 ton ego and dumped that on the scales. I think Wenger calculated we didn't have enough trucks to match the demands so we dropped it and now we're searching on planet earth for an alternative.

Oh bah humbug....
i think what this shows interestingly in terms of big transfers is that personal terms tend to be agreed between player and prospective club (verbally at least) before a fee is agreed between the buying club and the selling club (after years of playing football manager this appears contrary to everything i understand)
So with Khedira i think most likely what happened is that we spoke to his agent, and found that the wage demands were ridiculous, which for me i can totally understand. I think it's a shame because i think Khedira and Ozil would link up fantastically well in the Arsenal midfield, but i don't see any sense in sticking this player on astronomical wages when he is far from being the best player out there in that position and his injury record is somewhat alarming to say the least.
This deal looks like it is dead, and i think Arsenal have probably taken the sensible option by walking away.
