Mesut Ozil

found a little write up this morning regarding those twats in red up north...


Manchester United claim they have no regrets about not signing £42.4m playmaker Mesut Ozil ahead of Arsenal. The Premier League champions were offered the 24-year-old a month ago, but chose to prioritise trying to buy a central midfielder and left-back.


utter bullshit.....no way would they have turned him down,yet again the press with its anti arsenal bullshit trying to make it look like Ozil is just an normal signing...fucking press hate it when united are not in the spotlight!!!!!!!!!!

just another thing..

have you all seen how crazy Real fans are going about this more of them care that Ozil has been sold than Bale has been signed....brilliant!!!!!

I'm loving this whole Ozil debacle; from Tottenham trying to stop the signing, to United not needing him and Gareth Bale's signing being completely overlooked. As if it couldn't get any better... Ahaha.

Can't wait to see him on the pitch for us

They're really flogging that yellow away strip aren't they!

I like it! But I've head plenty who don't.

It has been revealed that Lukas Podolski is thrilled to be joined at Arsenal by Germany teammate Mesut Ozil.

The German international promises they will “rock Arsenal” together and says the £42.5million man can provide a killer punch previously lacking.

Podolski told BILD : “I am thrilled that Mesut has joined us,”.

“I have known him a long time. We get along well, not only on the pitch but off it. He is a good friend and a brilliant footballer. Mesut will help us in any situation. Our system and game at Arsenal will fit very well to him. He will have fun and joy with us.

“Definitely Mesut and I will rock Arsenal. It is our great goal to have success in London. We already play awesome football. The only think that has been missing was the last punch, that surprise moment. That’s exactly what Mesut can give us, with a super pass or a solo move.”

Now it has to be
Santi and the better two out of Aaron, Arteta, and Flamini
Theo Giroud Ozil
It still doesn't include Jack. For all the quality that Jack has, he still doesn't give enough balance to the team.

Don't know, I don't think dropping Wilshere from the starting line up would be logical, he's still developing and if he gets regular playing time, he could end up being one of the best midfielders in the world. That would certainly help us more in the long run than dropping him to the bench during a critical phase of his career.

His form has suffered due to the prolonged injury layoff and may be that makes people prefer other players over him at the moment, but once he recovers properly and gets back to the pre injury form, he's too good to sit on the bench imo..

I agree with your sentiments, but, for me you should be picking the in-form players, and that isn't him right now.

the thing with our line ups is i dont see arteta getting much game time..i know he is one of the best out there...but he is no spring chicken....

funny we could now be looking at selection headaches lol

I think he will get time Mike, always injuries and suspensions and maybe he can play further forward now we have Flamini, I don't know. He is important though and id much rather have him here than not.

Another way of looking at it is even if Wilshere gets less playing time now and isn't everyone's first choice to start, there is now less pressure on him and he can also be eased into full form and fitness now - as opposed to being rushed and over-played.

What counts is March, when we are playing 2 games per week, all crucial, including the cups, league and UCL.

That's very true. All the best players in the world play for the best teams in the world and the best teams in the world have big squads and lots of competition for places rather than one star player who is rushed back from injury all the time. I can only see this as a good thing for Jack in the long term.

The Germany international signed for the Premier League club on transfer deadline day from Real Madrid.

And Ozil has admitted that a conversation with coach Arsene Wenger persuaded him to leave Santiago Bernabeu.

“In some way, that conversation flicked a switch in me and made me realise what I had lost at Madrid - transparency, trust, respect,” he told Die Welt.

“Arsene told me exactly how he saw me, how he wanted to use me, what he expected of me.

“I would have even joined Arsenal for free.”

He means business

Looked a bit tired today..even made a couple of errors.

Couldn't believe his through ball to Walcott in the second half made Theo have to break stride!

+1, was expecting a goal as soon as the ball was at his feet, so much space to thread the ball!

I think he may still be recovering from illness so a little tired. Also, Marseille players were on him very quickly every time he got the ball, definitely a game plan to snuff him out.

True about Ozil getting a lot of attention from the Marseille players. Probably Giroud received similar treatment.

That opened up space for others, with Wilshere, Gibbs, Walcott and Ramsey being involved in the goals.

That is a fantastic read. Some real insights. Love the references/foot notes on the side too.

4 assists in the first 3 games. First time playing in England. 48 caps for Germany (?) and only 24. I still can't believe we signed the best number 10 in the world from one of the biggest club in the world, and that too in his prime!

Michael sorry for that haha. Deep's article is the one I wanted to post.
