We don't actually need Ozil, we have other positions that urgently need filling. Still a great signing, but it still doesn't solve the issues we have.

Yes yee do, Any team in the world would be lucky to have him. Hes a assist machine and will complement your team beautifully.He is world class. Im actually speechless at the bit in bold of your statement. Wenger cant win it seems.

I understand yee would like more depth in other areas of your team but trust me as a liverpool fan seeing arsenal bidding 42.5m for ozil vs moses coming in on loan is arsenal eating a steak dinner and us eating outta a dumpster.

If it emerged tomorrow that Wenger had the chance to sign Ozil and turned it down what would you opinion be? Arsenal under Wenger have always more or less been a "we'll score more than you" type of team

He's a great signing, I don't deny that and I am delighted to have him. Of course we would have been foolish to turn him down, he's a truly world class player, which we don't have since Van Persie left. But we have more urgent positions to fill, if anything happens Giroud we will be in trouble... unless Bendtner stays of course

Mickeroo

Apparently Capoue will only be out for a month, no break just a sprain, glad to hear it.

I think my post is being taken up the wrong way. I'm just saying that we are not exactly lacking in creativity right now, but he will definitely add to it. But there's no point in having an assist machine if there is no one to finish all these chances he would create and if anything were to happen to Giroud we could end up in that position

Moyes must be sick.

I think the club recognise that with the fact they are said to be interested in Ba/Hernandez. Ba on loan would be a short term solution, (dont know anything about Hernandez) A last minute big bid for Suarez would be nice

Bendtner at Crystal Palace sitting in the carpark doing an Odemwingie :D

We're not as bad off as you're trying to claim.

Giroud
Podolski
Sanogo
Walcott

Can all play up top.

Awesomeness

Did you do that yourself?

Bild saying the medical is passed, not that that wasn't a formality.

tayto lover

Is it a medical or is he being cloned?
Taking such a long time. He's there since before 10 a.m.

If it's anything like out-patients at the Mater, I could well believe it

Understandably i suppose we are going to keep people/media guessing but i would say there was probably a bit more involved then the medical such as shirt presentations and all that jazz.

That's it. In order to make savings from this transfer we are putting the medical through the public health system :pac:

Medicals have loads of scans and test results and such. They can be rushed or skipped but there is no need this early in the day.

Real fans were singing "Don't sell Ozil" at the Bale unveiling earlier.

raphael honigstein ‏@honigstein 2m

Last RT: "Arsenal to confirm Özil signing in one hour."

SlickRic

Honigstein says Ozil will be confirmed in an hour.

blingrhino

wont believe it till i see him at the emeriates holding a jersey !

Corcs001

Won't believe it until he wins us the league!

Quazzie

I won't believe it till he's confirmed to be injured for the remainder of the season.

International break on the horizon, will be keeping an eye on him.

Just realised we still have Park. Assuming Bendtner was locked out, he's the only deadweight left. Amazing summer in regards shifting all that wasted space.

Awesomeness

This signing will be up there with Bergkamp in terms of importance.

We will not only be getting a great player but making a statement

I'm still in shock. If we sign him a jersey and his name on the back will be purchased for sure.

Right. I'm going to have something to eat then watching Breaking Bad. I'm leaving (I hope!!!!!) my laptop, iPad, Phone, everything up stairs. Hopefully I'll be back to good news

Awesomeness

Saw 3 tweets from arsenal.com. Got excited

We’ll be discussing transfer deadline day, looking back at #AFCvTHFC and holding an open forum #ClockEnd

Are you freaking kidding me?

You've let this Ramsey prediction go to your head, you should sit back now and wait for the next 'right call', don't waste it on Theo

It Mert walks out with Ozil up in the air Lion King style it would be the best announcement ever.

Palermo president has confirmed Viviano is ours.

Serious signal of intent by signing Ozil. A pissed United fan here haha

It's a serious sign of change if it comes true, a serious sign of intent would probably require another 1/2 similar deals.

But great all the same

Not being announced until 6. Well feck yiz.

raphael honigstein ‏@honigstein 1m Özil's wage demands the main reason why other clubs didn't bite, I believe. Will be close to 200k once add-ons etc are factored in

The Bild are saying it's a €47 million 5 year deal, with €7 million a year in wages which works at 115k pounds sterling a week.

That's €7m a year after tax though. Most weekly wage figures that are reported are before tax. Apparently Madrid would only go as far as €5m after tax in a new contract. This is the impression I'm under anyway.

bad2dabone

7 million is what I'm hearing too. Not outlandish by top club standards

jank

So the state of play is this, Ozil appears to be all but done touch wood, new GK to be brought in as a backup it seems, Ba looks to be heading somewhere and more than likely our way. Di Maria would be the icing on the cake. Throw in the return of the Flamster not a bad few days or Arsenal FC. Would just love Di Maria however.

.jacksparrow.

Why 6, please god no other club is talking to him or he's having second thoughts

Looper007

We need two more signings a Striker (if Ba signs that loan deal we be grand) and a LW. 4 signings will be tops.
