I'd be happy to take Khedira on a free next season.

Cuadrado would only be a minor improvement.

“My head is still in Evian but if you offer me a departure in January, I will not say no.”

“I want to progress and prove my abilities at a higher level.”

"But a club has to be interested to meet the requirements that Evian have.”

Cuadrado would make absolutely no sense as a purchase given how stacked you are and the fact that you couldn't simply loan him out and sell him for a profit later given how much he would cost. It would essentially be offering more competition for Willian and ensuring Salah never sees the light of day.

Speaking of which, any chance of loaning Salah? Asking for a friend.

I have generally taken no notice of any rumours regarding FB's and AM's. This is no exception. Hardly needed and, like I said, only a minor improvement.

Arsenal and Chelsea target Sami Khedira is NOT leaving Real Madrid in January, insists Carlo Ancelotti:
Chelsea and Arsenal's hopes of signing Sami Khedira suffered a blow after Carlo Ancelotti insisted the German midfielder would not be leaving Real Madrid this season
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2800513/arsenal-chelsea-target-sami-khedira-not-leaving-real-madrid-january-insists-carlo-ancelotti.html

"We have until June to reach an agreement with him. If he wants to sign an extension, the club will renew him. If not, he will leave the team at the end of the season."

by Kick Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:13 pm

Means nothing, I still think a transfer could be on the cards.

by Shed Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:16 pm

As do I. A club like Real can afford to lose him for free in the summer so a contract negotiation for then in January is still very much on the cards, I'd have thought.

by Kick Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:19 pm

Yeah. If he doesn't want to stay, Real won't keep him.

What a blow, eh? I hope the club will be able to pull itself together and limp its way to the end of the campaign so we can mourn properly over the summer.

At this stage, I'd be willing to say Zouma is better than Pique.

Also, this deal makes no sense for barca, since they cannot reinvest the money.
