15 chances at the world cup? What does that mean? Surely not assists because he officially has 1 from the 2014 WC. He did score a goal too, so thats 2 'chances created'. I dont know what criteria they use to nominate a player for Ballon d'Or or which time period they look at to determine a player should be shortlisted, but in Ozil's case, it surely could not have been for his time at Arsenal... but then again, you have Stevie G and Rooney in that list, so..Originally Posted by Letters
So he's crap (he created 15 chances for Germany in the World Cup, the most of any German player. In case you missed it, they won the World Cup) and last season was shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or.
Ok
I think it's fair to say we've not seen the best of him yet but he's clearly a quality player, stop being ridiculous.
He probably is a quality player. He definitely was world class at Real Madrid but for some reason other than the Napoli game last season, he never stood out like a 60+ million signing. We probably need to play him in a different position to get the best out of him but at present he hasnt done anything to warrant his place in the starting XI.
