Khedira was the perfect signing for Arsenal about 4/5 years ago when he was available- the exact sort of player they were missing to sit in the middle

Now though after a couple of injury hit seasons a Prem team shouldnt go near him - but it’s the sort of signing that the old Bolton used to do. Not sure why Everton would sign him as well

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I doubt Everton could afford that sort of money, I know they're wage bill is already excessively high compared to turnover.

Don't worry. We are loaning out Bolassie to Boro in January. That will leave a big enough gap in the wage bill

It sounds as though it is agent talk, trying to generate a move.

One for followers of European football, ie not me. The rumours for Sami Khedira coming to Everton in January are growing. Coming up out of contract, not playing, knows Ancelloti from Real, it makes sense. However, is he a busted flush now? Is he worth getting or should he be looking at a nice retirement in the MLS?

Mate, there are only 2 or 3 opinions on here I’d listen to, so if Ancelotti wants him and gets him, then he must know how he wants to use him and for how long, that’s good enough for me.

Look at the job Milner has done at LPool or Barry did for us, 99% on here thought they were dodgy signings.

I've given myself a slap

Milner was 29 when we signed him on a free and I have no idea why someone would think he would be a dodgy signing ? Barry was a superb player who played his whole career in the Prem so was used to the physical demands . Khedira has had a number injuries recently including two knee surgeries and a significant muscle tear - at 33 that seems a strange signing

When Milner signed on a free for LPool there were Lpool fans who questioned the signing by Rodgers as he was touted as a replacement for Gerrard, he wasn’t playing regularly for City, had never reached the heights some had expected as a young player, Leeds, Newcastle, Villa etc, good pro......but.

HE HAS BEEN SUPERB FOR LIVERPOOL.

You can even go back and check social media (you’re good at that) lots of LPool fans were unsure, it wasn’t exactly a marquis signing, but for free was seen as worth a gamble.

Khedira is currently no more than a rumour and if, a big if, Ancelotti sees a role for him, like Rodgers saw for Milner, and it’s on a free then I’ll trust Ancelotti’s opinion over someone on this thread! Clear now? I was never questioning Milner’s ability or how he’s performed.

Every club needs a milner .. the amount of positions he has covered for the club without question is unreal

He reminds me of antonio for us just without the hamstring issues

Why are you trying to compare a 29 year Prem proven player who clearly was going to be a very good signing on a free - I don’t think in my post I even suggested you questioned how he has performed for us ?

I know exactly how some fans react on social media but then they did it when Salah , Mane etc etc were signed

But what does that have to do with with talking about a 33 year old who has recently had two knee surgeries plus 3 months out with a muscle tear.

But someone asked a question about him as a player and people have given a response politely in regards that player. No one has suggested they should be listened to over a Prem manager - it’s called a debate and talking about gossip and rumours.

Let’s get something straight here! YOU ANSWERED MY POST AND BROUGHT AGE INTO IT!

I was on about people questioning the signings of experienced players, didn’t compare anybody to anybody!

Try reading what is posted rather and reply to that rather answering what you think I posted.

Because your response in regards people talking about Khedria and potential issues was to bringing Milner in as an example hence why the age at when he was signed was relevant ?‍?‍?‍?‍

Why are you reacting as if someone is personally attacking you ? There was a discussion about Khedria and you’re stomping around like prepubescent teenager because people dared to answer a question from another poster.

Age was only relevant to you, not me, I mentioned 2 players who when they signed questions were asked about them and what they offered, just because you apparently thought Milner was a good signing doesn’t mean everybody else did, you’ve managed in your normal way to get a conversation round to how you wish to discuss it. Never you at fault.

Always the other poster and once again you go to your default name calling!

Daniel James got booked for diving today. And it wasn't even a dive, the Leeds player whacked and arm across the top of his chest.

And this incident clearly illustrated that having a reputation for going to ground too easily, which James has, only counts against you in the long run.

I’m firmly of the view that the referee booked Dan James largely because, in his short United career, he has developed a reputation as a diver.

The worst thing is if James had committed another yellow card offence leading to a red card VAR wouldn’t have been able to do anything - it was poor from him

Noble showing why he shouldn't be near a professional football team

I've even got his biggest fans txting me saying hate to admit it but he's looking worst by the day

 

[Fade and Die]

3 defensive midfielders and a striker that doesn’t hold the ball up. Always going to be under pressure.

Is that his role? Walking round like a lost tourist

Needs hooking ASAP

When Snodgrass is brought on for Bowen (around the 75th minute)I think it might be the slowest team we have ever fielded!

33 years old and time to move him on. Doing you no favours
