January Transfer window thread

Yeah I stopped reading the article at this point out of self-respect

Khedira looks a bit past it, tbh. Should have bought him in 2014.

He any good?

Heā€™s better than being wasted away at Barcelona and Iā€™d happily take him here.

Heā€™s a Wengerball player

Iā€™m getting worried that for the past 2 years when weā€™ve been linked to a player, more often than not Iā€™m praying we DONā€™T sign him.

FML.

In the rare instances Iā€™ve seen him lace up for Barca I liked what I saw.

Theyā€™d probably ask too much for him though.

Every time I see Khediraā€™s name mentioned, I canā€™t help but be reminded of OAā€™s greatest post of all time :arteta: @Gio

please tell me you have proof of that post, like a screenshot or something.

Afraid not mate, but I think it mayā€™ve been reuploaded onto here at some point. Iā€™ll have to work my magic and see if anything comes up.

Edit: Found it! @Electrifying Good old Forum search does the job. Apparently the image is still attached on our Twitter page :smiley:

Deserves a place in memoriam here. :arteta:

I thought this would be :

ā€˜heā€™s 32ā€™,
ā€˜heā€™s not 32, heā€™s 31ā€™,
ā€˜are you shit at fractions and ratios, if it was a fraction you round upā€™,
ā€˜thatā€™s not how it worksā€™

Haha man this never gets old if I do say so myself

Ahah! Missed it.

I remember him being highly rated a few years ago. He has played under Emery before for Sevilla. Some quick research tells me that he was on the bench for the 2015 Europa League final.

The transfer fees being mentioned are relatively small. That article suggests that Barcelona would want more than EUR 10m, which we should be able to afford.

Seems like a realistic transfer considering his history, the price and our need for a CM.

Anybody got further insight on his ability / potential etc?

EDIT: Reading a Barca forum and they are being far from complimentary. Some saying he could be a starter for a mid-table team in La Liga, others saying he never realised his potential and his ship has sailed. The majority have given up on him and just want him sold. Hmmmm.

Diaz to Real Madrid more or less done. City get Ā£15m for him, despite his contract running out this summer :joy:
