Mourinho might be looking to hijack Wenger's move for Khedira which would take his midfield tally to 12.
Although I'd rather see a more defensive player at Arsenal.
There are rumours of Vidal >>> Man U, which is horrible if true.
Speaking of United rumours, Di Maria to United is another one picking up steam.
Yep. I think they were the only two German Muslims in the whole of Spain, and a beautiful man love inevitably blossomed.Khedira is interested in the Emirates primarily because of Ozil.
After seeing Liverpool's '13-'14 league campaign, Man Utd have to feel they have a good shot at breaking back into the top four. Liverpool and Arsenal remain vulnerable.
Just as i thought.
People said Thiago Silva would've prevented the Germany result. Today's evidence shows that was never going to happen.
No-one got to wear black shortsWhichever team gets to wear black shorts will win.
Heh at the 'Arry analogy. Khedira's pre-match breakdown makes me think he's a nailed-on Wenger signing. Halfway through the match I was hoping the deal had already been done, because at that point he was the only German midfielder whose price was rising.Real Madrid is run by a bunch of populist madmen with access to obscene amounts of money. Harry Redknapp multiplied by 1000. They are always looking for the next big signing above all else - even if that means getting rid of perfectly good players.
God knows Ö could do with it, although he must be absolutely knackered after nearly eleven hours' football. I can't imagine that Per does crises of confidence. Poor old Poldi is a lost cause at Arsenal, I think.Three WC winners in the Arsenal squad now, hopefully that gives them a good confidence boost.
I think both he and the then 33 year old Ronaldo will be back (subject to Portugal qualifying) but neither of them will get a sniff at the World Cup. Alan Hansen chose to sign off his illustrious TV punditry career in typically clichéd fashion, trotting out the old 'Messi can't be mentioned in the same breath as Pelé and Maradona until he's won the World Cup' line. Bloody ridiculous.Will Messi get another chance i wonder, he'll be 31 at the next WC.
The Neuer/Higuain one is tricky. Nasty collision horrible in fact, see http://i.imgur.com/uk3ok0a.jpg but I don't think a referee would have called it as a penalty or a card had in happened in the six yard box. It's just 'goalkeeping', isn't it?The ref was quite lenient - that's been a feature of the tournament and this performance reinforced it.
Finally, more head injury issues. FIFA needs to take the concussion issue seriously and introduce a standard protocol for dealing with them. Unfortunatley, I doubt anything will be done.
Congrats to Germany and our German members here!
I think it's fair to say that Germany were the best team in the tournament and the most deserving champion.
All credit to Argentina though, they had a great tournament. If only Higuain and Aguero were fit and in form, things might have been quite different. The agonizing reality is that Argentina could very easily have won this match but their finishing let them down.

Dalglish who signed Saurez for less than £23m?
