of course ozil is a great signing but it shouldnt have been our headline for the summer, thats the point. we could not have been serious about the other bids if wenger values ozil at 42mill yet cant push past 30 for higuain or more for suarez in areas we need someone like that. hopefully i'm very wrong about his because i could do with something to get my interest levels back up.
