alonso was actually the second best............... but i guess opinions are just that

was kaka class when he went to madrid for a world record? shev? torres?

lots of better players couldnt handle the pressure

Hard to argue with a Spurs fan on this particular subject.

You're experts on second best.

Paulegend

for the record i think he will settle and be a great player. he could be the player ye are missing since cesc. but thats a big IF he handles the pressure. all im saying is that world class players dont always work out

Paul is a liverpool fan. he's an expert on 7th best.

You really have to ask that about a full German International player and a man who has played for the biggest club in the world for the last few years. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe you at this stage

Do you genuinely think he'll be under more pressure with us than he was at Real Madrid or when playing for Germany in the World Cup?

not a spurs fan. pool fan:rolleyes:

but im not trying to argue with ye. i think he is a great signing and a player ye had to take a chance on. if he is on only 120k a week ye can seel him for a similar price next season if he ends up not working out. he is still to hit his prime


i honestly think he could be a player of the year if he settles

You think the guy who's played over 100 La Liga and 30 Champions League games for Real Madrid, and 47 games for Germany can't handle the pressure at Arsenal?

Are you for real?

I am beyond happy with this signing. Could we have signed a striker? Yeah, maybe... who cares? I'd take Ozil over any mediocre forward like Higuain or Suarez for that matter any day of the week.
Ozil is absolutely world class. And I mean that, he is in the top 10 best footballers alive today and anyone who argues that doesn't know sh*t about football.
Time to break the piggy bank for when the jerseys get printed

You think Suarez and higuain are mediocre? You can't possibly be serious

yes. at madrid he was surrounded by "bigger" players. there was kaka ronaldo and even hii and bene went there with huge names. it would be easier not to be under as much pressure there. at arsenal he will be yer main man

A world class player not crippled by injury. Then, at Madrid, he became a world class player crippled by injury.

This is brilliant.


Mark B ‏@MCFCMark 3h If arsenal don't sing "Carzola to the left of me, Ozil to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle Giroud" this season I'll be disappointed

Ah Paulegend the man who said us buying Suarez the 30 goal a season man would mean Liverpool would start the season on a goal difference of -60

Fair play on Ozil, cracking player. Delighted to see him come to the league, shame it cant be for us

Not up to full fitness yet with the lack of a pre season, to answer what I am pretty sure you were asking though, nothing, its the reason Im not exactly devastated we didn't move for Ozil, I am very happy with Kagawa, wouldn't trade one for the other tbh

Just hope he gets used correctly under Moyes.

I am sure Wenger will get the best out of Ozil, which is a frightening thought I guess but still, its nice to see one of the genuine best players in the world come to the league

He was a key player for Madrid and was a key player in the German team since he was 21.

Do you watch any football outside of the sh*tty Liverpool games you get fed by Setanta now and again?

He probably named his fantasy team after Coutinho

Ye just signed the best CAM in the world in my opinion. He's going to destroy the Premier League. Fair play.

L'prof

Just woke up. Slept through 6 hours of will he/won't he and am absolutely over the moon we've signed Ozil. Great player who'll definitely have a big impact from the get go. Anybody saying otherwise is just jealous and delusional! Pity we didn't add one or two more though!

When Manchester United signed Robin Van Persie last season, a few of the players spoke about the boost it gave the squad when he walked into the dressing room, and how it uplifted everyone knowing that a truly World Class player has arrived.

Mesut Ozil is a truly world class player, I'm sure you all know that, but I expect when he walks in the dressing room he gives everyone a boost, it's a bloody huge signing.

Wenger has pulled an absolute worldie in getting him in, fans of other clubs can't really believe whats happened, and I am not ashamed to say I was watching Sky Sports News all day just praying for something to come up and them to say the deal was off :pac:

If Giroud keeps up his form, and with Santi Cazorla and Mesut supplying him, you lot are right in the title race.

Go get Ozil 11 on the back of your shirt.

That's a great point. It'll be the biggest signing our players will have experienced during their time here so far so it's bound to boost morale. I know the "please be off, please be off, please be off" feeling too. Felt it plenty of times with that Dutch lad we sold ye last year ha!

Also, if I do get the home shirt this year, Giroud is still the only name going onto it

Where's the umlaut?!

Great signing for us. I still think we should have signed a striker but let's get on with it and see how things plan out.

SweepTheLeg

Going to be a huge morale boost having one of the worlds best joining the ranks. Already see that from half the team tweeting about how happy they are he's signed

You won't see Ferdinand tweeting about Fellaini signing!

Meanwhile at the Coloney.

Gringo180

47 assists and 17 goals in 87 starts for Madrid hahahah that is sick. Best CAM in world football we have just signed.

UnknownSpecies

Nice video here of his goals and assists from last season. It's long but worth a watch. I see Ozil-Giroud set-piece goals in our future. I'm getting very excited

My head is in a spin. Arsenal Fan 27 years, love the club to death, seen their vision however lost faith in Wenger and the club as each of the last 6-7 years went by.

In Wenger we trust. Simple as. The man is a Genius. He has a pair of balls the size of the Emirates Stadium . He looked every one in the eye in the last 6-7 years as things got worst and worst and did what he needed to do and not a single fook was given by him to anyone, no matter how hard things got, he stuck to his guns and did not budge once on his principles.

I for one, will hold my hand up and say I did get tired of the same old BS of selling our best and buying unproven. Now, I feel this has paid off.
Arsene will surpass Ferguson as a Premier League Legend. What Arsene and Arsenal have done today is so huge. Not only has it blown my mind, it's blown the minds of the football world as a whole.

I can see Arsene retiring tonight at home, ready for bed, sitting down, glasses on, relaxed with a glass of wine in his hand. He's watching sky sports, he has that grin on his face that we all know, and saying to himself, let the games begin, Monty Burns style.

I truly believe this signal of intent from Arsenal is the start of things to come. Ozil is world class, 24, look at his stats. He is a wonderful, smashing footballer. Is now an Arsenal player.

Again Arsene is a fooking Genius. We now have 3 German Internationals, 2 Spanish International's + Arteta and the English core of the squad. Yes, we are light in areas, but we'll sort it out, part of Wenger's master plan.

We wont win the league this year, Chelsea will, We'll be second or third, Man UTD will drop big time, Man City will be there or there abouts, and Spurs will be scrapping as per usual.

As Arsenal get better and better we will attract more world class players. Arsenal are in a position to really really cement themselves into world football right now in how Wenger has shaped the club.

I'm waffling on and on like a teenager on speed, its just that good. In 2 years time, maybe less we will win the premier league and I can't wait to see Arsene hold some more trophies like he has done with Arsenal in the past.

What a man. Well done Arsene.

pandaboy

Gonna give this a bash tomorrow

Paddycrumlinman

The Brucie bonus is we beat Spurs yesterday, Wenger then says after the game we might be surprised today, Spurs spend 100 million, sell Bale (Great Player, not worth that money) We get Ozil. Spurs and Levey knew we had Ozil in the bag. Ozil would not go to Spurs because, well they are Spurs, held up the transfer for Bale to Madrid because he knows, Arsenal have them by the bollix yet again.

Seriously, they must really, I mean really fooking hate us Arsenal, I would, because they are Spurs.

Life is all of a sudden so much brighter!

Arsenal forever!

Arsenal planted seeds in the likes of Suraez and Rooney with their interest this window.

What Arsenal did today will make those type of players look over their sholder and say, I see what you did there Arsenal.

More to come.

jank

Ozil would walk into any team in the world, an outstanding addition to the team but a little concerned that we didn't sign a striker.
Ba on loan would have been perfect I think. If Giroud gets injured we are screwed. However, Ozil is a signal of intent for Arsenal, up there with Bergkamp and Sol Campbell. It will turn heads and should make the Man Uniteds, Man City and the Chelease fear us as a team on the rise. Just hope our main players stay injury free as we are still very light in some areas. Put the head down now for 12-13 weeks and have a look again in January. We need 2 -3 windows of continious sigings like Ozil to be a real force again in European football.

Didn't he get his eyes done?

Absolutely amazing signing, players like ozil will make other players look even better just like fabregas did.

Would have liked us to sign a cb, disappointed we didn't get sakho since he was there for the taking.

ALso a world class striker if I was being greedy, giroud is very good and has played excellently but I think we should a got a top quality striker.
