You producing stats that comprise his entire career from 16-24 compared against ages 25-26 as evidence that he's more prolific now (ergo, it's easy for players of his type in Spain) shows that you're either a) on the wind-up, b) being willfully ignorant or c) an idiot.

I'm going to go with a little bit from column a, a little bit from column b and a big dollop from column c!

Indeed, only 99.9% of the time.

I don't think he ever explained it.

52 cards in a deck? Paddy power all over that.

The importance of Ozil signing is best exemplefied by all these newfound numpties coming in to this thread out of the blue spouting streams of drivel.

Shook Ones! Please to meet ye.

Com on you Gunners!

As far as I remember that was exactly why he picked it, he got a new contract doubling his pay to 52k.

He also offered to replace anyone's jersey who had already bought a Bendtner 26 one.

Which was about 4 people.

wawaman

If and its a very big if, he knuckles down and gets his head together he could prove to be a decent squad member

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Maybe Bendtner has been on to Adebayor and realised that if he wants to get a half way decent contract when this one expires, he'll have to bother his hole for at least half a season.

emergingstar

I don't get it

When other teams signed good it great players I never felt the need to go in and tell them how bad he is

I might mention it in here but not in that clubs thread

What's that all about???

Thats before we even get into the fact Cesc was the main man for Arsenal whereas he's only really the 4th cog of the midfield/attacking wheel at FCB. In short his stats should be better. You can't ignore that

They're teenage strikers. Run fast kick ball hard.

Now go find us some teenage midfielders with great stats.

B-52 Bomber i believe is where he was going with it!

I'll cry if I see him as a winger again!

Giroud, Kos and Sagna all starting tonight for France in Georgia. Giroud up top with Benzema.

Mickeroo

Rambo just scored from the spot

dvemail

Ramsey scores penalty. He's playing well so far.

greendom

I understand Rosicky has scored too

Mickeroo

What ye make of this lads? Find it kind of hard to believe myself. Saying RM actually offered Benzema to us and we turned them down: http://www.theshortfuse.com/2013/9/6/4701072/arsenal-transfer-rumours-benzema-reject-real-madrid

Giroud has pulled out due to a knock in training. Hopefully it's minor.

Scrap that - appears he's still playing Apparently Evra caught his ankle in the warm up

pinch of salt for now. I doubt RM would have wanted to sell him without having an adequate replacement. And I was under the impression that AW was a big fan too

dvemail

Find it hard to believe that Madrid would leave themselves with only one out and out striker in Morata.

dvemail

Per and Ozil start for Germany.

emergingstar

I'd say we will see alot more of Walcott playing striker this season

Excellent news but more importantly do you have any news from the Germany match? Hope our Ozil is ok?

emergingstar

Someone tweeted this

Just looked at Özil’s stats. 98% pass accuracy rate. 71 touches. 1 shot, 1 foul, 1 dribble. (80 minutes gone.)

emergingstar

Özil’s full match stats: 99% pass accuracy. 50% aerial duels won. 87 touches. 1 shot, 1 foul, 2 dribbles. @WhoScored rating: 7.1.

I was going to but it's on BT Sports and I wasnt bothered with a stream. Just once he doesnt get injured I'm happy.

Seems everyone got through okay and both Ramsey and Rosicky scored.

Boskowski

According to sport1.de tonight Mesut Oezil showed a sparkling playmaker's performance.

Ilkay Gündogan and Martin Montaya are Arsenal targets. Both are free next summer and can sign pre-contracts in January, wrap them up arsene and spend 50 on a striker and thats us set then for 2014/2015.

I'd say Gündogan will sign a new contract soon.
But Montoya would be a great signing. He'd be great competition for Jenks

Awful music, advise muting it.

Gundogan has a contract until 2015 I believe.

Not sold on Montoya.

Jaysus lads this season has barely began.Could we stick to it for awhile at least. We can win something this season.

Is the international break over yet?

Gundogan's contract runs till 2015, and he is expected to sign a extension to 2018 within next few weeks.

Sergio

It might be naive of me think otherwise but i genuinely think we could challenge for the title this season. If we manage to get all our players back from injury and tighten up at the back then we have a chance. I have a feeling Giroud could score 20 plus goals this season with Ozil creating plenty of scoring chances.
