More often than not you get what you pay for when purchasing "established elite quality".
I won't deny that I am pleasantly surprised how quickly he has integrated into the team but this boy has been playing at a high level for a good few years now.
We're lucky to have him.
And he's only 24 :drool:

Nice car :good:
He's fucking shit.
Its funny how alot of people are saying he's really unproffesional off the field, smoking, eating bad, "marathon sex", partying, whatever... Funny how he still manages to play 60 games a season and be the best #10 in the world, i say let him do whatever he wants, if thats what he needs to do in order to play like that :D
I'm pretty sure they changed the name to Snickers.Quote:

Arsčne, there was just half an hour left before the transferdeadline when the Ozil deal was announced, why was the deal concluded so late?
The timing of the deal was linked to the Gareth Bale deal, but also all the other deals as well because Real Madrid bought Illarramendi and Isco in the summer. When I first contacted Real Madrid, things were quite open. They also needed time for Carlo Ancelotti to get to know his squad better, so he could make a decision. So all these aspects put together explains why it happened so late. We had a big advantage, and that was that I had been in contact with Mesut before, when he first went to Real Madrid three years ago. I spoke to him back then on the phone, in the end he told me he wanted to go to Real Madrid, so I wished him well, but that first contact had been made. He knew that I wanted him for a long time, and this was not the first time I tried to sign him.
The deal more than doubled Arsenal’s previous transfer record, was there any wariness in spending that much on a player?
Of course, it’s a big responsibility to spend that amount of money. But I feel comfortable with it because we had the money to do it. Before we couldn’t have done it because we didn’t have the money available. It’s as simple as that. I had a huge sense of responsibility when we built the stadium to get the Club through it without going bankrupt. The first years were difficult, and also explained why we lost some players. Now we are in a more comfortable financial position, I - more than anyone - want the great players to play for Arsenal Football Club. If we have to spend the money to do that, I will spend the money.
