Mesut Özil Thread (official!)

[Ollie the Optimist]

we laugh at wenger for saying he will only sign super top quality players but my god hes pulled it out the bag if we sign ozil

[JonasTC]

Tbf he's had Ronaldo lashing them in from all angles. He won't get those numbers here, not that it matters.

his average is 16 over 2 seasons for werder and 18.33 over 3 seasons for madrid, not that far off.

Is this shit done yet

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal always take ages to make things official.

I don't think they've used any of the £70m budget to speed up the confirmation process.

[Cripps_orig]

Getting bored of it now.

Well done Arsene.

When it is confirmed, we'll be all meh instead of the excitement we all felt earlier.

[Munchies]

Stop scrimping the pennies ffs Wenger

Got £70m in the bank, £40m on Ozil, spend the £30m on Benteke

Wenger sold Gervinho to Roma so Lamela could join Spurs which allowed Bale to leave Madrid and we could sign Özil. #genius @wengerknowsbest

By implication they are saying Wenger is more of a machiavellian long game schemer than Francis Urqhart and his american counterpart Frank Underwood combined.
