lol. Yeah mate. The boy is good. I've watched this guy since his youth days. He was/is outstanding.
I do agree though that we first have to see Mata's performance under JM's set up.
Why is he (Mata) not even playing regularly sef? Fire on the mountain things with JM? I hope not.

nateevs:

That might have more to do with the collective organization of the Madrid team under JM than Ozil's tendency not to disappear. I will reserve judgement on that until I see Mata play under that set up.

I don't disagree that Ozil might be a little stronger than Mata, Mata himself is not easy to dispossess off the ball.

I do understand why you have love for Mesut, mate I love him too.

bros, I may be a little biased here but personally I just love the way Ozil plays. I mean, who else makes a pass without even touching the ball? Only Ozil can! Moreover, Ozil is never missing in BIG games unlike Mata.

J12:

Chairman, everybody loves the way Ozil plays. Let's not kid ourselves, ozil also misses in some big games too. I remember a few classicos where Ozil was utter shyte.

Ibime: Does Victor Moses really believe Liverpool will promote his progress over Coutinho, Aspas, Alberto and that other woman beater?

Emmadani: I av dis feeling dat lukaku is still not 4 chelsea,not d kind of strika chelsea need.When i always see hazard,mata,osca and now willian,i always think of sharp strikers like lewandowski,falcao,benzema dat would fit in.I dnt just know what's tores problem at chelsea,whether its because of his injury at liverpool or wat,i expected a striker like tores to fit in vry well wit d kind of attackers we have.Whether na curse or na badluck,i dnt just understand.

debosky: ^^ Even Messi has gone missing in classicos, so that can't be a yardstick for judging anyone.

I hope JM continues to freeze out Mata. We'll see just how good KdB and co really are.

El Guapo: ^^ He's got a point.

It's a needless point. First you claim that a rival club have signed the best 10 in the world when we have our no 10. (I am not saying Ozil is or isn't, just saying as a manager of a different club, JM doesn't need to give an opinion). Then you claim that loaning them Demba would make them title contenders - making Demba look like the best No 9 there is; a statement which stands stoopidly contradictory to the fact that we attempted loaning him out in the first place.

Some JM just needs to say "NO COMMENT".

jackbauersballs:


He is not saying Ba is the best in the world.
IMO His statement just says 2 things.

1. Arsenal now has a talismanic player with a proven ability to Unlock Defences
2. Ba is better than any other striking option that Arsenal currently have.


And I agree with him, why give Arsenal an opportunity to effectively utilize Ozil's playmaking abilities by loaning them a Proven Goal Hitman?

FBS: Could this be true?

Mourinho blocked Demba switch after Gunners signed German ace!

He said: 'Ozil is unique. There is no copy of him – not even a bad one. He is the best number 10 in the world. He makes things very easy for me and for his team-mates with his football vision and the decisions he makes.
'Everyone loves him and sees a bit of Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane in him.
'We didn’t accept Arsenal’s offer for Demba Ba because the signing of Ozil makes them title contenders.'

J12:

He's saying that
1. Assnal has a better no. 10 than us, hence they have an attacking edge over us. This is false
2. He's also indirectly saying that Ba is the best strikers in the EPL at the moment. I doubt that.

I don't see the point in what he's saying anyway. Arsenal could have gone for other strikers in the league if they wanted. Also, Ba is not better than Giroud as a CF.

ritchboy: Looking at the various interpretations here, its apparent Chelsea fans:

1. Are dyslexic, and/or
2. Cannot comprehend simple English.

There, I said it.
