From Adefolahan Oshinloye:Carvalho or Khedira?
Hi Myles,
I was wondering what your thoughts were on the possibility of signing William Carvalho or Khedira.
With the musings that Chambers can play DM, signing Khedira signals a 3-year gladiator to prepare the ground for Chambers in the future, while signing Carvalho would mean the beast ruling the Emirates turf for the next 8 years.
I would like both to sign, as it would allows us to play a strong midfield against the likes of Chelsea, Khedira – Carvalho – Ramsey would over-run Cesc and Co.
God knows we can afford it, but I don’t think it’s likely.
Perhaps time for Ivan’s special fund to kick in there.
I want Khedira though, as you say he is a Rolls-Royce of a player, but I’d like a Range Rover Carvalho edition in there too.
From Phil Togwell : Khedira
Your headline says Sami Khedira WILL sign but the text contains a very big IF (and a MIGHT thrown in for good measure).
I believe we are in pole position for both Khedira and Carvalho and
Wenger is weighing options to get the best deal.
I hope this doesn’t bite him on the bum.
Myles says:
Good news, Phil !
I’d love both, like Ade.
20 minutes ago I was told that Sami’s on 170K a week and playing beach volleyball in St Trop.
If you were on his wages, that’s where you’d be too.
