A competent striker would be running riot with his assists. The solution is surely to get a competent striker, not get rid of one of our most effective players.
It's like driving with the handbrake on, to coin a phrase, and then blaming the engine for not being able to work effectively rather than the handbrake for hindering progress.
I'm not suggesting we get rid of Ozil. I think we need a striker regardless. If we had signed Suarez or Higauin instead of Ozil in 2013, we'd have probably won the title that season as well. I don't think Ozil is an essential player. We were creating chances before he arrived, we'd create chances when he's gone. We're missing goals and that special player that can win you a match.
