For some of us, it's just not enough. I'm over the moon we signed Ozil and was happy when we taught we had Ba on loan. Once the Ba deal went dead is when I got upset cause If Giroud gets injured we are screwed. We need another forward. I'm glad you happy.

Before Ozil, Liverpool wouldn't sell us Suarez because they taught we were a rival. While i disagree with that, they were right in thinking that we were most likely to drop from the top four.

After Ozil, Chelsea supposedly won't loan us Ba because they see us as a rival. This is hearsay admittedly.

Now we're still in exactly the same place in the league and I'm not stupid enough to think one player will make that much of a difference.

But it's such a statement of what the club want to do from here on in.

Today I told a Man U fan that I've worked with for nearly a decade that we were signing Ozil. He shot me a look that I'd never seen before. It was a kind of jealousy mixed with worry.

Perhaps the delay was getting the cheque out of Wengers hands

The best player signed by any premier league team this summer.

Fair play lads.

Not only have we just signed Ozil we have just sent out a huge message to the rest of Europe and every team in the EPL that were now serious, were a threat.

Having signed Ozil now other players will look at Arsenal now as an attractive proposition once again and a team who are serious about winning titles. Sponsors will have noticed this aswell you can be sure of that.

It will give our own current players a huge boost morale will be sky high the like of Gnabry and Zelalem will really look up to him.


This signing has nothing but positives for Arsenal on and off the pitch. Im delighted.

I can't even recall the last time we signed such an establish name. . . must be years and tears ago.

Great transfer indeed!!!!

I genuinely feel like I've just witnessed the start of a new era at the club.

Signing of the summer. Incredible.

Now, they've a half an hour to turn a good window into a great window. Get a striker.

Welcome to Arsenal Ozil.

Think we have come out best of the Bale transfer saga :D:D

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty sure the Ozil transfer broke boards.ie for a few minutes there.

Marty McFly

Ozil broke boards it fooked.

rob316

As a pool fan just want to say thats an absolute cracking signing. Real coup for the premier league. Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham could really shake up the league this season

Noo

Im on the other side of the world but just come on boards as I do each and every morning for my usual lack of arsenal news.... WTF is going on here?!?!? Nearly dropped my phone in my corn flakes!

Ed Winchester

Can't believe it

He will give us that extra class that's for sure. Hopefully we don't get any more serious injuries and we be compete for the EPL that's for sure.

Yee must be over the moon with this signing. Incredible stuff.

Seen so many comments over the last year from arsenal fans about chelsea and city buying their success and yet not a blink here about blowing 45m on one player. Always respected Wenger for the way he kept Arsenal in the CL places when the likes of city and chelsea spend crazy money but throwing 45m at one player is just crazy. Honestly ruining the competitiveness of the league if something isnt done about these crazy transfers
