    Ozil has won games for Germany in the biggest tournaments in the world. Champions league games too. What has Bale done really? Hasn't won them an FA cup, league cup or even come close to it.

    Why are Arsenal even going for Ozil?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,209 ✭✭✭Redzer7


    Why are Arsenal even going for Ozil?

    Because he's better than what we currently have?

    Well its hardly Bales fault he is Welsh they kinda dont do Tournaments ever.
    even though he has won important games for Wales too out of the blue.

    Same with Spurs sadly no cups in Bales time but I have no doubt he will put that right with Real this season...

    Yes and I'm sure you would still believe that if he were about to join Spurs :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Think we can all agree that Bale isn't one of the best in the world at the moment. But he definitly has the potential to push on now with RM and do that :) arsenal fan here obviously

    He's obviously a great player but his position is not what needs urgent rebuilding. Like if ye forked out this amount of cash on Higuain it'd make a lot more sense. Ozil isn't going to get ye yer goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,216 ✭✭✭Looper007


    I hope we go for a LW and Striker cause we really need to weigh up on those positions.

    The price was a little crazy but British players are overpriced. I think he's a talented players has the potential to be a great but will the Madrid fan's and board give him time. that's the question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Essien


    This transfer shouldn't be questioned. Ozil strengthens any first 11 in the world IMO, even if he's not necessarily the type of player Arsenal need, a player of his exceptional quality is something every club should be looking for. I'm incredibly jealous of Arsenal right now and I can't wait to see him in the premier league.

    He'll just have to set them all up then ;)

    but his game will help the others around him get the goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,216 ✭✭✭Looper007


    Love some of the fan's from other club's saying he's not going to change anything. That's the sign we have a top talent on our hands and that they are worried.

    I would disagree. Arsenal have a tendency in recent years to dominate games but don't create enough clear cut chances because we push so high up and things can get congested. Granted, we don't have a 30 goal a season striker but Walcott, Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla all got double figures last year. We can add a lot more goals just by creating some more chances for each of them, so a player who is good at getting out of tight spaces is probably more important to us right now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    Ozil isn't going to get ye yer goals.

    No, Walcott, podolski, giroud and cazorla who all got double figures last season will get the goals.

    Ozil will craft them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭cathalio11


    This may lead to Ramsey scoring more too.

    If Ozil signs, he could set up a lot of players for success.

    ****. I didn't realise you guys were that deluded.

    Van Persie, Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Xavi, Schweinstieger. For a start.

    Don't fall for the hype and mega fee. He hasn't actually done that much yet. Not saying he isn't an amazing player with phenomenal potential (that he really started to live up to last year), he is, but maybe wait for a few more major accomplishments before suggesting he's the 3rd best player in the world.

    which part of on his day Bale is possibly the 3rd best player in the world confused you?

    And also very jealous and surprised that we could get him. Go and check the meltdown in the Man U thread:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    He's obviously going to improve the team but it'd be just like City buying him and not any striker this summer. Like ye have plenty of options in Ozil's area/style of play. Sure he's probably better than all of the others but a proper striker is what Arsenal really needs. Demba Ba is a terrible back up plan.

    Bale is 3rd best player in the world, Ozil in top 10.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The Bale fee and overrating is laughable tbh.

    With Gervinho gone, Ox and Podolski injured, AM/Wings is a priority tbh. At the moment they haven't got a senior sub for any of the 3 players in a 4-2-3-1.

    The bench yesterday was
    21 Fabianski
    03 Sagna
    17 Monreal
    20 Flamini
    44 Gnabry
    58 Gedion Zelalem
    22 Sanogo

    Only a teenager who can cover any of those positions. If Ozil comes in Rosicky probably goes to the bench.

    I said this earlier, somebody who can play AM or on the wings was a necessity.

    Oh, please do give your top 10 players in the world on their day.

    Bet Vertonghen and Lloris feature.

    Great signing if ye get it done, world class players can always be accommodated
    in any team.

    to classify as the third best in the world, you can't be just on your day. You must be on most of your days, if not everyday.
    Your post contradicts itself.
    Your reply in 52 contradicts the rest of your posts.
    I think you are in the wrong thread.

    and the rest of us, we the f**k are we talking about Bale?

    I assume you mean that Bale at his best is better than any other player at his best besides Messi and Ronaldo. If that's what you'd argue, I'd say Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, and Ibrahimovic all are better on their best days.

    Ozil, too is phenomenal on his day. Certainly among the top 15 players if not the top 10. You said 30th. That is sheer idiocy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,828 ✭✭✭gosplan

    The way this year has started for us, it's basically upgrading Rosicky to Ozil. That's a far better improvement than Giroud to Higuain.

    im repling to casting couch thats about the height of it..put me on your ignore list if it helps yoo I dont care either way..

    Bale had a whole season where he was at his best in every game I thought that was obvious enough even for you:)

    Jan Aage Fjortoft ‏@JanAageFjortoft 1m

    My source tells me: The only thing missing is Özil's signature.

    At 23:36 last night he said:
    "Jan Aage Fjortoft ‏@JanAageFjortoft 1m
    Asked a very knowledgeable person in Germany who has revealed big moves: Özil to Arsenal?His answer: No!!!! Bull****!!!!"


    Putting 2 + 2 together and i'm gonna suggest he hasn't got a scooby doo what's happening!!

    Apparently Davvy thinks Ba is the fourth best player in the world :PAC:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,019 ✭✭✭davycc


    he obviously wasnt worth near 100mil€ but Levy played a blinder ..

    Madrid are a crazy bunch who love their bigger than Barca signings & overpaid big time for Bale just to show the world (incl Barca) they can afford ANYBODY & arnt shy about letting the world know through their propoganda mouthpiece Marca

    So many things wrong with this post.

    Messi and Ronaldo are 1st/2nd and are miles ahead of anyone. Then you have the likes of Ozil/Iniesta on the next tier. Bale has the potential but hasn't got the ability to touch any of them yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,428 ✭✭✭.jacksparrow.


    BBC reporting ba food medical and close to joining arsenal.

    I'd be happy enough with Ba thought initially when he went to Chelsea we should have been in for him, his Newcastle form was brilliant until Pardew pushed him out onto the wing, and was never given a chance at Chelsea really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Is it just me or does Emiliano Viviano look like Almunias Italian cousin?

    And if the DM article is to be believed, Per was instrumental in convincing Ozil- what a legend if this is true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,573 ✭✭✭2ndcoming


    Will be delighted with the signing of Ozil, just back from EP and the thoughts of him in an Arsenal jersey are th only thing keeping me going!

    Really hope we go for a couple more now, get it done while the chance is there!
