I don't doubt Ozil's quality as a playmaker. It's just goes back to debate of wheather he's more important than a top quality striker. For Arsenal, I think it's more important we have that striker because I believe they would have more of an impact on the team. I mean, Ronaldo is a game changer and goal scorer with or without Ozil.Quote:

What is more interesting that you seem keen to single him out for criticism in a game where the whole team performance was dire.....and if i had made the point that he played brilliantly in every single league game this season your point would actually have some merit....but as i intimated originally it seemed to me to be a facetious remark and therefore i treat it with the contempt it deserves by mentioning a language barrier.
Which was in fairness a hangover from the discussion from the other week where you seem to be constantly arguing against a point I hadn't made to begin with.
"We don't agree on certain points?".....if every debate boiled down to that there would be no point in having a debate in the first place, in fact this place would forever be as dead as it is during the international breaks.
And i bring you back to Ronaldo's performances for Portugal compared to his performances for Real MadridQuote:

In fact the original debate has been perverted, it was never about whether a top quality striker was more important than a playmaker....it was about whether individually Ozil was harder to replace than Sanchez. Sanchez isn't a top quality striker given that he isn't a striker and although i would never want to lose him there are more players of his ilk avaliable then there are of Ozil's type.
So the debate was based on individual players.....i'd rather keep both and add a top quality striker.
You must have missed my debates with others on players like Giroud, Ramsey and Gabriel. It's not just Ozil and I haven't actually pointed out a criticisn of Ozil during that game. It's just an observation about the stats.
Also, as mentioned before, International football is different to club level. Different tactics, managers and a complete change of supporting players. From defence to uo front. But in the small changes at Real and Barca with key playmakers, has that stopped Ronaldo or Messi from scoring? I complete regime change at international level is different to one or two players leaving at club level.
I won't draw this one out but you seem to be following my use of English perfectly fine. You parts of the debate at least.
To be fair the original insult was that you couldn't understand me but I didn't see any reason not to invert itQuote:

Anyway you are quite right, this shouldn't drag out. As addictive as arguing is, I am at work.
Come on now.....you lot don't have jobs....
That's what I tell the DWP anywayQuote:
