Khedira wrote:"As of now, I see no reason to leave the club in the winter. Real Madrid are a great destination, and I have locked this club in my heart. There is no grounds for me to say that I want or that I have to leave."

"I said back then that I am not averse to signing a new contract, but my agent is still in talks with the club. We are top of the league in Spain, lead our Champions League group, and can win the FIFA Club World Cup. A lot of great challenges are waiting for me at Real. Moreover, I rate the coach highly because of his knowledge and his way of handling things. He gives me the feeling that I am needed."

"I was out injured for six weeks, and made the squad after only two training sessions with the team. That says everything about how the club and the coach bank on me. Once I am at 100 percent, I am a candidate for the starting lineup."

In this case, we should not take it at face value not only due to a general scepticism, but because at the time Dortmund (!) even decided to publicly denounce the making up of fake quotes by their players

So do you feel that Reus will end up at Bayern?

There was a theory floated around a couple of months back when Rummenigge, a-hole that he is, divulged the actual amount of the release clause publicly that he actually did it because he was butthurt Reus had rejected our allures.

It sounded reasonable to me, but now after repeated statements and also Götze stating he'd be happy for Reus to join us etc I'm not so sure anymore.

Generally, for our board it should be a no brainer to try to get him. Dirt cheap German NT top player entering his prime in a position we'll need someone soon.
However, I don't like it, too much *bleep* Dortmund in our team, and so do a lot of other people and the board probably only half likes it either.

So I don't really care, we can most definitively need him but I don't really want him
If he extends at Dortmund tomorrow that would be the best for everyone I think, and I'd be happy.

Also I wonder how good he'll be when he doesn't have space.
He's not like Ribery after all, who can rout through defenders just by being relentless, tricky and obnoxious.
So maybe Chelsea is a good call for him.

Arsenal are being linked with a £7million swoop for Petr Cech.

The Chelsea shot-stopper has slipped behind Thibaut Courtois in the Stamford Bridge pecking order and is likely to be seeking first-team opportunities elsewhere.

And The Sun report that the Gunners are ready to swoop for the 32-year-old when Jose Mourinho gives the green light for his departure.

Arsene Wenger is an admirer of Cech and could use his experience to shore up a defence that has seen the Gunners lose more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side this season.

Shed is being linked with a Relationship swoop for Jennifer Lawrence.

The Chelsea fan has slipped behind Fatman123 in the Goal Legacy Bachelor pecking order and is likely to be seeking dating opportunities elsewhere.

And The Sun report that the Girl is ready to swoop for the 21-year-old when Kick gives the green light for his courtship.

Jennifer Lawrence is an admirer of Shed and could use his experience to shore up a public image that has seen the Girl lose more fans from fappening pictures than any other famous person this year.

The latter seems more likely, imo

New Jersey heartthrob Shed E. Pants is being linked with a relationship swoop by actress Jennifer Lawrence.

The Chelsea fan has jumped decidedly ahead of the coterie of Hollywood superstars Lawrence originally sampled to no avail, as well as the floundering Fatman123 in the Goal Legacy Bachelor pecking order, and is likely to be targeted by the film superstar for romantic courtship.

The Sun report that the girl is ready to swoop for the 21-year-old adonis when licensed rock-groper and New Zealand exile Kick E. Mars is at last detained for stalking the actress, a saga which has seen her remain secluded for fear of her safety.

Lawrence is an admirer of Shed and could use his esteem among the US population to recover and restore her reputation folloring a crisis that has seen her lose more fans from fappening pictures than any other celebrity this year, and it is also understood that the young American's charm, wit, intelligence, delirium-inducing good looks, and proficiency at Matchday thread production also appeal to the actress.

The boy was unavailable for comment on the situation on Monday morning, but in an exclusive interview, supervisor and Goal Legacy moderator RedOranje shared his thoughts on the impending romance, remarking, "No.", while Chelsea section colleague and one-time rival for Lawrence's affection Fit Man exclaimed, "pls go srs brah ill rek u".

The story remains ongoing. Further developments will be reported upon receipt.
