Sami Khedira (45 Viewers)

[pitbull]

My problem with Khedira isn’t just his speed. Busquets is slow, Pjanic isn’t that fast either. But those guys have a very fast footballing brain and are half a second ahead of everyone else. Khedira takes 2 touches just to get the ball under control and then usually passes it to the player next to him. He doesn’t offer much physicality or technical ability. At the highest level, he’s a passenger.

I’ve been a huge advocate of activating Torreira’s 25M release clause this winter, but it doesn’t look like that’s happening.

Speaking of possible alternatives to Khedira, there's not enough time for Max to ease Torreira in, if we sign him this winter, he'll not displace Khedira this season. For me it's simple, either Marchisio becomes a functioning footballer again or we're stuck with Khedira. Bentancur won't be ready this season and Sturaro is Padoin material.

Well i would take Xavi and Scholes off that list. They were supreme passers. Verratti too. But Makele is surprise. Didn't know he was so short.

N’Golo Kante is also only 168 cm.

Good midfielders come in all shapes and sizes.

Yeah that’s true. I’m living in a hypothetical world where Max sees the light and realizes that Khedira is a passenger in high intensity games. Marchisio doesn’t play much even though he’s apparently fit, hopefully that just means that Max is saving him for the most important time of the season.

Sad that we aren’t being linked to Torreira at all.

Good point. Kante is bossing in premier league. Maybe that is not so bad option. Still know we have to sell Khedira in the summer. That passivity is unreal.

Can't wait to see the back of him and actually get back to playing with 11 on the field again

When we had the chance to sign him, Tuz deemed him inferior to Lemina

I meant that if Torreira is same kind of player like Kante. Signing Torreira wouldn't be maybe that bad. I didn't mean Kante.

we dont need the likes of Kante, we need players capable with the ball.

This. We should have gone for Naby Keita, however.

That's why you'll drive to Gelsenkirchen to pick up Goretzka :sarcasm:

Me and Pjaca will convince him. He can't possibly be preferring Bavaria to Italy

 

[Monty]

He has been quite good in the past few weeks. This unnecessary bashing of him is unfair.

Torreira is capable with the ball.

I don't know, haven't seen him play

Munich >Turin

Hell, i'd even prefer Regensburg, Bamberg or Heidelberg to Turin

Spoken like a true Bavarian :applause:

But I've never been to Turin myself, so I wouldn't know
