That's the impact big signings have on clubs, something many people didn't seem to understand before. The signing of Ozil may just be one signing but it's created a buzz around the club which has filtered through to the players and made them raise their game.Originally Posted by LDG
Some people have been saying this for years.
Our players have also naturally just got better, young players tend to do that.
That's true some of them have, I think that has been aided by their excitement of playing alongside a player of his quality as well.
Signing Ozil certainly helped but I'm not sure how much. It's difficult to calculate. Merts has clearly got better through learning the league, Giroud was always going to be better in his second season. You've then got youngsters like Chesney and Ramsey who have just naturally progressed and sicknotes like Rosicky and Wilshere have been relatively injury free.
Some people have been saying that we didn't just need one big signing but that we were miles away from a side that could win the title and needed quite a few major signings if we were to compete...
Not so hard to understand given our performances in the last few seasons tbh. The Ozil signing has clearly had a bigger impact than most thought, though some of the other players have also improved dramatically which couldn't have been predicted.
It's halfway through the season right now and there's a long way to go, I still personally think we need 1-2 more players to win it.

Just 1, IMO. Top class striker and we'd be very close.
Yes a striker is priority, though if we could find a winger as well that would be handy.
