Winter Transfer Speculation

[Power n Glory]

Even when we play shite Ozil will leave the pitch having created multiple decent chances. I think he created 10 chances in that rubbish outing against Southampton, a record for the season. What we need to do is put better players around him, he's wasted otherwise. He'd already have broken every record in the book if we had some fucker who could take more than 1 from 15 chances. More Ozils, less Girouds and we're finally competing.

Ozil needs to score more goals and look to be a bit more selfish. He needs better players around him but I wish he could step it up and be more influential. Change the game with more shots on goal or taking his man on to set himself up or open the game up more.

Is this the player's decision or the manager's? Given the amount of shooting opportunities all our players pass up you have to wonder if there is some sort of sanction attached. Ozil, like the rest of the team, has missed Santi. When these two were on the pitch they were statistically the best attacking and defensive midfielders in Europe, as a pair and individually - by a mile. Saw the stats the other day and could scarcely believe the gap between them and the rest. Which is a big worry because what sort of shit will Wenger dig up so he can cheapskate a replacement for Santi? What's he got left, one season, two tops? We haven't managed to get a sustained period with Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis all on the pitch. Our game is transformed when they play together, but take out even one of the pieces and it goes backwards fast. Which is why we should have quality options available for all three. And we would have less injuries if Wenger could figure out that a proper rotation policy is preferable to trying to cram all the top names into the starting eleven and then make do and mend with shitty reserves when he's run all the starters into the ground. We'd be getting more from Ozil if we had a proper manager.

Fewer, dammit! Otherwise agreed.
There was one game...yeah, I think it was Southampton, where he was creating chance after chance and must have been face-palming at the failure of all and sundry to convert them.

I said fewer but you changed it

Ok. He's broken the PL assists record already, two thirds of the way into the season. And he's only 27.

Previously he had two seasons of underachieving, which is not enough for a player of his stature. The return hasn't been consistent enough.

And the PL assist record stands at 20, held by Henry. Although he should beat that with a dozen games left.

I wouldn't be upset if we get rid of Ozil. I think he'll have to two years left on this contract this summer so if he doesn't re-sign, we need to shift him on instead of being dicked around. Considering what we've got back from him in 3 years at the club, especially compared to someone like Sanchez, there is a huge difference.

That's crazy bro. Selling Ozil would set us back 5 years.

I don't deny he's taken a long time to iron out the inconsistencies but he's undoubtedly a top player. It would send out a very damaging message if we couldn't keep hold of him.

If he doesn't sign, we have to sell him. We can't risk losing the valuation and he's goes for peanuts the following season and going by his comments, he doesn't appear to be in a rush. He is a very good player but I don't think he'll hit the same heights as we have seen this season.

If we had better strikers (and more from midfield) he could literally be on 236 assists already. Sanchez has been particularly poor this season by his own standards.

He's world class and he needs to stay at all costs. No point cashing in if we're going to use the money to buy inferior players.

[Kano]

You can't judge an AM purely on assists because that stat relies on another player to actually make them become something relevant.

Sanchez has been poor since his return from injury but was fine at the up until November.

I won't be crying if Ozil was to leave.
