Mesut Özil Thread (official!)

[Ollie the Optimist]

Our Fernando Torres.

Wenger cant spot a player these days to save his life.

apart from gibbs, ramsey, koscienly, szcesney, cazorla, sagna, walcott, Ox, wilshere, gnabry and others but if you ingore all those players who were hardly known before he signed them, then yes you have a point. if we don't ignore those players, then you look like an idiot

Sell him, he's shite

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Seen on Sky Ballack reckon Ozil hasn't got acceptance from his teammates, he's low on confidence and I must admit I don't like watching other players having a go at him, it's kicking a guy when he's down and I don't personally think it helps a player like him. To me he doesn't look happy and having your teammates having a go isn't going to help that, different players react differently and IMO he doesn't react well to be criticised by his teammates.

To me he seems a bit soft and would benefit more form encouragement from other players etc.

Certainly won't be having a go at Flamini for having a go at Ozil. For years we lacked players with passion and care. People who would trump up on a Saturday afternoon just to collect their pay cheque's. A bit of arguing makes me think these lot actually care.

And in some ways I don't like watching ex-footballers go on TV, take cash and play the whore. Sticking the knife in one day and praising to the rafters the next with nothing ever in-between despite the fact they all experienced the game themselves. But whores have to sell hard. Team mates are reliant on each other, what one does affects the rest and vice versa. Pundits though - can't think who relies on them, can't really figure out what they're good for at all.

Bit harsh on Charlie.

Most of these arent recent. I mean, when were Sagna and Walcott signed for petes sake.

Considering how bad Cazorla has been this season, the only creditable deal Wengers done in 5 years+ is Kos. And to think this used to be his trump card.

Ox, Gnabry, Zelalem, Mertesacker, etc... Wilshere, Walcott, Ramsey, Gibbs and Szscesny all developed into the first team in the last 5 years.

What have I told you about using facts on here?

[JonasTC]

Sorry

[Fist of Lehmann]

How does one 'spot' Mesut Ozil anyway?

It's not like he was an unrated unknown playing for an obscure Spanish side, a no-mark European country, and absolutely not joint highest assister in Europe for the last 2 years.
