It puts a marker down though, and that is what we wanted.
Hopefully it will persuade a few other players of more reasonable value (42m is a fuck load of money, and I'm not comfortable with any club spending that), but of good quality to join us, if we need them.
I still have faith in the core of this side though. Wilshere, Cazorla, Ramsey, Theo, AOC, Gibbs, Kos, Merts, Chesney, Giroud, Flamini, Podolski, Sagna, Jenks....
Some need improvement, others are improving, some are experieneced, some aren't. It's a nice blend we have now.
I hope so too. It seems wenger convinced ozil to reject more money from psg amd play for us. You have to wonder what he said to make that happen. Ozil is a genuine world class player, others will see him go amd think actually it's not a bad place to go. We paid the big money amd wages amd got it done. The first one is the hardest, others will hopefully follow.Quote:

I think when you have a number of players from the International setup it often helps and it makes the potential new signing feel like it will be easier to settle in and he'll have players from his own country who can help him and who he can socialise with.
As I said before my only hope we'd get him lay with the fact we have a number of German players on our books. It's a big move for a foreign player to have to move country, find a new house when he doesn't know anyone and can be daunting, essentially they're changing their whole life.
We really needed a signing like this. It's arguable that a few players in the £20m range would have made for a stronger squad overall but a marquee signing like this gives everyone a lift, the fans and the players. It's got Gooners buzzing again.Quote:

But I can do the Özil now so the e can get the f out
Such a good morning to be an arsenal fan. Bet Chelsea, United, City n Spurs are wondering how we pulled this one off, Ozil is a fucking class player, cant wait.

Özil: "In Madrid, only the Spanish are valued. In 3 years there, they never chanted my name. In Isco's first game, they chanted for him."
Is Podolski in Germany?
Merts and Poldi. :bow:
Best damn directors of football in the business.
Poldi in Finding Nemo 2. :bow:
Tbf his name is pretty shit for chants. Can't think of oneQuote:

A generic 'One Mesut Özil' will suffice.Quote:

Ozil :bow:

Merts and Pods can do all our transfer negotiations from now on.
I love Germans.
He looks a jew, he'll do you, it's mesut mesut mesut mesut errzul.
£66 for a shirt. I've forgotten how expensive they were .... still well worth it.Quote:

In which case,
Podolski :bow::bow:
I think it's standard for national team doctors to cross check the clubs findings. Apparently they found a hamstring tear meaning lukas will be out until december.
Winger already said he was out for ten to twelve weeks didn't he? So this isn't really news, just confirmationQuote:
