If Madrid thinks he is that good, they would not sell him. Madrid is not a selling club. They have the money. Have you ever thought of that? Ozil was already loosing playing time towards the end of last season.

ronaldo,ibramovich,ronaldo of brazil,zidane,kaka all left for new clubs, did they get sold because they are not good anymore?? Think before you post next time... #blinded by hatred

theoctopus:

I almost cried last 2 seasons when Bayern knocked Madrid out of the competition. That game could have been won by Madrid easily. But for the lazyness of Madrid players. who were not real fighters. Benzema is the worst. I dont even know why Madrid is still keeping him. A very talented player that dsoesnt ever give his all. Very slow and lazy. Same with Ozil. Isco is far better and that is what Madrid need. I agree with you that Perez can be a pain in the azz but Ancelloti is not a push over coach. The combination of Ronaldo, Isco amd Bale is crazy.

The fact that players like Iniesta and Xavi did not turn up in Barca's champions league defeat against Bayern make them "slow and lazy"? The fact that Brazil ran all over the Spanish midfield in the Confed cup finals makes Xavi and Iniesta slow and lazy?

theoctopus:

Ozil is not the best 10 in the world. Stop deluding yourself just to make yourself feel good. He is not even in the top 5.

Ronaldo went from ManU to Madrid, the last bus stop in football! Ibra left Milan to Barca, the best club at the time. He was shipped off from Barca because he flopped and went to PSG to make cool cash. Ronaldo Delima left Madrid at the peak of his career. Same with Zidane. Kaka left from Milan to Madrid, again, the last bus stop. Madrid does not sell their best players in their best form. They are not a selling club. Dont argue funny argument

But Eto'o left Madrid to Barca? Luis Enrique left Madrid to Barca? Claude Makalele also left Madrid. And they did not have progressive careers after they left Madrid?

well the special one said it, they're not my words..:
suarez is a game changer i heard, go and check the liverppools games in which suarez played and the ones he did not feature, you'll see liverpool are better when he doesnt feature in terms of 'results'.

theoctopus: 42.5 million for Ozil is a bad buy. Why Spend that amount for a player that is slow and lazy and never tracks back or defend. Wenger knows Arsenal fans are so desperate, they will accept anything. He could have gotten Suarez for 50 million instead and then Arsenal's season would have changed drastically. Ozil will not change Arsenal much. If he was that good, Madrid will not let him go. They would have sold Di Maria instead. Panic buy me thinks and the fans are rejoicing because they have been so starved. They are even calling it the signing of the summer. So delusional.

you definitely sound fanatic like a Chelsea fan. Can you mention one Chelsea player that had 20+ assists last season like Ozil? It takes a common logic to know that without injury this guy will definitely improve Arsenal's chances of ending trophy drought.

While isco is very good he is no playmaker like ozil

Mesut Ozil is the better number 10

Ozil is up there with Iniesta, Silva and Mata as the best play maker in the world.

Ozil is a key player, and is a great playmaker!

Ozil is in any case more times useful than Angel Di Maria

Özil was one of Madrid most consistent performers during the first half of the season, putting on good performances

Ozil is one of the best right now

Madrid is in the shadow of internal conflict this season, everyone in that team was not at their usual level but Ozil is still the more consistent attacker there.

Ozil only had rough start because Mou benched him a lot earlier this season. But since October he never went more than 2 games without contributing goals and assists, that's more consistent than any name there like (Guti, Isco, Gotze).

Ozil amazing back hell to Higuain was the reason of Ronaldo's winning goal vs United that qualified Madrid

Ozil does choke in the big stage. I thought this year he'd put that away but oh no his performances against Man Utd, especially Borussia and Atleti have cemented his status as a big game choker.

thank God you said trophy room., it's not like there's no trophy in it..atleast 30 should be there - chelsea and tottenham trophies added together couldnt even surpass arsenal's

Luiz Suarez would have won the highest goal scorer ahead of RVP if he didnt get the long ban, remember? He still came second with all those bans.

Has Ozil ever been in the top 10 in the world? No. Suarez? Yes


And to add, the special one always says that about all his players. He still benched him though...

Your problem is just paucity of knowledge on football history. Go and learn again.

Easyfren: Your problem is just paucity of knowledge on football history. Go and learn again.

I even have this for him:

From BBC.CO.UK and independent.co.uk

[size=15pt]
Ozil with his quick feet and outstanding technical ability, Ozil became a stalwart in the Madrid side during the 2011/12 campaign which saw the Spanish giants win La Liga under manager Jose Mourinho with Ozil again at the top of the assists chart, this time with 17. His form that season saw him nominated for the Uefa Best Player in Europe Award.

rguably his most successful season, 2011/12 saw the midfielder's reputation grow even further following his inclusion in the Uefa Euro Team of the Tournament and the Uefa Team of the Year as his ability was recognised at both club and international levels.

Whilst still putting in strong performances for Madrid the following season with an equal number of league assists to Lionel Messi and maintaining his place in the side despite the arrival of Luka Modric, Madrid finished without silverware and Mourinho departed the club.[/size]

Emiliano Viviano (loan) &

Mesut Ozil (£42.4m).

Ozil is not good, he's not even in the top 10, he's lazy, he doesnt score goals..blah blah blah... all because arsenal signed him. If it was man utd that got him and arsenal signed fellaini, hell would let loose... Ozil is the complete version of Ramsey

Andres Iniesta vs Mesut Ozil

OZIL is the best, he plays like Ronaldinho & Okocha

I dunno why some ppl are like that, haterz... The best summer signing. Can't wait to see him in an arsenal shirt... Sunderland your next, Premier league beware, the assist king has arrived

I dont like ManU one bit but they did the better business today. Why, because they actually signed someone they need. That is the point I have been making. They needed a real midfield enforcer and they signed one. The idea is not to sign a fantastic player but one that you actually need. Arsenal's problem is not someone who will create chances or make good passes. You say you have signed the best 10 and yet that is Wilshere and Rosicky's positions and they are quite ok. You needed someone to play the song role and a good CB. Your defense is poor. You played 11 man defense all through second half on sunday, against a brand new spurs team that has not even blended. How will you handle a Dortmund? Kolshieny got lucky with a penalty and 2 yellows. He is a disaster waiting to happen this season. I dont mean to slate you guys like I said before, I was just discussing football. I understand this might not be the right time because you guys are carried away in the Euphoria. But I know exactly what I am saying

theoctopus or na thefish, dunno wat u call ur freaky self, ur argument now is all about d choice of d signing Wenger made in Mesut, dat he's not a game changer. U just watch goals and not the game(football), i'm sure u know the difference. Are u trying to prove exclusively dat only strikers are game changers cos u mentioned a Suarez preference? Wat about d high end saves from goalkeepers, the touch-line goal-bound clearance from defenders, the counter attacking threats blocked by defensive midfielders, the inch perfect through-pass from d attacking midfielders, the converted set-pieces from any specialist from d team and o'cos d clinical finish from d attackers? Ur view of d game is laterally myopic. From ur posts, it shows u're either a madrid or manure fan, it hurts to loose a quality like dat in madrid, though he mite not be getting enuff playing time bt will surely add depth to d team, and we all know d obvious cancer in d manure's team, a creative quality like Ozil, it hurts to loose such like him to arsenal, i feel ur pains bro. Ozil mite be lazy off d ball but damaging on d ball, he'll mk up for d former, thanks for d notice.

Did you really read my post? Read it again, slowly this time

@ theoctopus. It's as if you're paid to antagonize Arsenal's signing of Ozil. If he went to Chelsea, it would've been a great signing, but it's Arsenal, so it's wrong signing. Can you mention one Chelsea player that is currently a great passer of the ball like Ozil? A good player is not all about scoring goals. How many goals did Zidaine score? On a counselling note, go and learn football history.

FROM A CHELSEA FAN- 1.SKYSPORTS comment thread

As a football fan i'm delighted to see such a brilliant player come to Arsenal. As a Chelsea fan i'm twice has happy to see one of the best midfielders in Europe in Arsenal epl. Well done Arsenal, got a great signing , Ozil is a world class midfielder nd i must confess he's incoparable with any midfielder in the EPL, can only compete with iniesta & Arjen robben
