Ozil

Looks like Ben Linus

That is all

1 good game in 4 for madrid, will he win arsenal the premiership- no way

Too pricey and a bit of a lightweight

Sorry but Ozil is an absolutely brilliant player. With someone like Wilshere along side him he could do some real damage for Arsenal. Players and managers rave about him, the Madrid fans were chanting his name when during Bales unveiling.

Best signing of the window if they pull it off in my opinion.

finally

still think they have missed a trick not getting a forward in

hope he is total shit and they have spunked the money

He's already huge - 47 German caps with many more to come.

I'm surprised that Real Madrid let him go, but needs must with Bale arriving and FFP on its way.

As I said to a few Gooners yesterday, I dont understand their transfer policy. They're crying out for a world class goalkeeper, centre-back, holding midfielder and a centre-forward but they go and spend £42.5m on yet another attacking midfielder when they've already got one of the PLs best in Santi Cazorla.

They dont have a hope of winning the PL with the squad that they've got. Ok, he's a great player but that transfer smacks of panic buying in my opinion.

Agree completely.

also agree. 42 mill is obviously silly money & haven't seen much of him for Real Madrid but half the price of bale, they're near enough the same age and Ozil has looked the part on the world stage for Germany. He's an arsenal type of player and will fit into their system no probs.

do get the feeling this transfer is papering over the cracks. Can't believe they've not got a forward.

I think that this is a great signing for Arsenal, unfortunately. Ozil is one of the world's greatest players. I also agree that he seems an 'Arsenal type player.' I think that I shall grow to dislike him suitably anyway, particularly as he'll likely win the World Cup with Germany next year.

They need a creative player more than a striker I think, Podolski, Giroud and Walcott are all goal scorers but only Cazorla can really create. They aren't really many top goalkeepers out there to get, Sczezsny seems a decent keeper to me. Julio Cesar maybe for a season or 2 would be good for them but then they lose a prospect afterwards. Another centre back sure but Mertesacker and Koscielny are a good pairing. Holding midfield is another position that none of the top teams really have and Arteta is pretty good.

Ozil improves them far more than good players in any of those other positions would have done and more than Higuain would have done as well. Ozil, Walcott and Cazorla behind an inform Giroud will be frightening.
