Poor lad but no fault of Carzola just a freak injury.

Aye, just one of those things. Hate to see a bad injury like that. A mate of mine snapped his in a match years ago, he was playing right midfield and I was up front, didn't see it happening but I heard the crack. *Shudder*

Hopefully he was giving someone a bollocking over a mistake. Keep them down to earth.

Have to say, the tenacity we defend with these days is awesome and I'm assuming a lot to do with Bould. See the Giroud 'handball' bit? 4 or 5 players throwing themselves at things in the box. For the last few years, that was usually just one guy sticking out an overly casual leg.

The sight of five of our lads jumping infront of that shot made me proud to be a gunner.

I think no ones likes to see another human being suffering. We can all slag players off at matches, it's banter but I'm sure no one wants to see anyone get hurt. Look what happened to Ramsey and Edurado, some of the worst things I've ever seen.

We have heart no carrying a egoistic footballer in that team. Everyone throws their body on the line. Giroud made the most tackles inside the box today behind Kos and Mert, that shows you how hard everyone works you wouldn't see Van Persie or Henry do that.

The day Van Persie makes a sliding tackle is the day he breaks his ankle again.

Speaking of broken things, its horrible to hear about Capoue. We know all too much about horrific injuries... though in fairness Shawcross is a scumbag with a fetish for breaking legs unlike our Santi.

Ozil is a done deal.

I coukd never forgive the Scum City fans booing Ramsey off after breaking his leg. Only a kid he was. Lets hope they get relegated this season. Stoke ****ty FC

Ozil is not a done deal.

I predict we will all be here in precisely 23 hours ****ting ourselves about Ozil. Cursing John Cross and Twitter.

The only reason I'd miss Stoke City in the Premier League is because of deadline day there fans are always the most entertaining what with there cans of Stella and chavtastic clothes. It were I reckon Jeremy Kyle get's all his guests from.

Horrible bunch of chav inbreds I was praying for them to get relegated the way they laughed at Ramsey and mocked him when he got his injury was shocking. It left a bad taste in my mouth and of many Arsenal fan's. I can't wait to put them to the sword this season.

Ozil, Cazorla in the middle lads. Holy jaysus.

Van Persie clearly showed today he ain't up for the fight. Never was and what he said to Gerrard (if it's true) show's he lacks class too.

Don't say that man. You might Jinx the deal. Until it's officially conformed is when I can see it been a done deal.

Awful style of football, kick and hurt you're rival's and score the odd scruffy goal. Plus an dick of a man, his hatred of Arsene Wenger could never be hidden in his interviews.

I think Ozil would be the better buy for sure.

If the Ozil thing actually goes through, I will be ecstatic. One of my favourite players randomly ending up in my favourite club. A repeat of few years ago, when Rosicky was my fav and went to Arsenal from Dortmund.

Oh I agree, just surprised they would be so confident they could get draxler that he's a back up.

Haha Im in the exact same boat, Saw Rosicky play a few times on that Champions League show that used to be on Saturday mornings and always thought he look class

a few years later Arsene snaps him up!!!!!

Call Me Jimmy

Didn't watch much football last year but I'm just wondering what would be the general consensus on Rosicky from an arsenal perspective? Has he been top-drawer, slightly underwhelming (I know he's good but how has he done for arsenal over all do yez think?)

If he didn't have so many injury problems, he'd be one of the first names on the team sheet. When fully fit there are few better.

Fitness aside, the only possibly complaint I could think of would be he doesn't score very often. Everything else is great.

He was superb today and has been top drawer for us this year. He really has come into his own. Came in for alot of criticism after the san siro defeat in 2012 but like Arteta, he has answered the critics (myself included) with a bang. His movement for that goal today was terrific and caused Tottenham no end of hassle. He got stuck into tackles, he was everywhere.

The thing is though do we need another CM?
Why not just play Santi as the attacking midfielder? Wilshire, Ramsey, Arteta, Flamani and Ozil all vieing for 3 positions. We need two strikers id say and a Winger, Di Maria is the obvious choice there. Walcott needs competition to get the best out of him.

Do Ozil or Drexler play in any wide positions?

I don't care whether we need another midfielder or not, it's Ozil!!! Our squad is light and we've picked up a couple of lengthy injuries already. We could do with a bit of rotation and I'm sure, if he signs, Ozil and Cazorla will both cover on the wings if necessary!

kryogen

Draxler can play wide, gonna be a smashing player me thinks.

dvemail

My big transfer prediction for tomorrow is Bendtner to Palace. All but done.

wandatowell

No shortage of assists with Ozil and Santi in the team.

Another striker, Ozil and perhaps a defender signed today and I'd be delighted!

jank

Yea obviously Ozil would be massive but I think a CF and a winger should be priority. Then again if we get all three then I'm well happy with that.

Put the Ozil Marca story through Google Translate and it comes up with this bafflingly amazing opening paragraph:

"The magician's hat hangs Özil in Bernabeu theater. In a crazy evening, the German artist made his last trick as Real Madrid player. Nothing here, nothing there, and in the blink of an eye disappeared to head to Arsenal, orphaning number 10 and an avid hobby of magic that cries their march."

I hope we sign more than Ozil though. Maybe if we just do all our business in Madrid?

Marca say Ozil has decided to stay.

Balague is saying that Ozil is apparently upset that Real have agreed to sell him. Hopefully Real will insist that he has to go.
