http://transfermarkt.de/de/mesut-oezil/leistungsdaten/spieler_35664.html 17 league + 2 cup + 7 EL + 4 EL qualification = 30 in club competitions

30 is outstanding. I just double checked at transfermarkt.de and it is indeed exactly 30 at his club. Xavi btw 'only' had 18 with Barca last season.

He is a strong and promising player - just note that he had 30 assists in this years club season. But like lenuam also said he is still inconsistant - he had 2-3 weak months at the start of this year. And while his performances were good in this WC, i feel he is overall a bit overhyped. I felt...

The funny thing is that, when you hear him in interviews, he seems to be the nicest guy around. He seems to be the footballing version of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde ...

I dont see Özil coming to Bayern when they have Kroos, but its still interesting how next seasons Bayern team will look like. Prior to the WC the expectation was sth like this: ------------ Olic / ??? ----------------- ---Rib ------- Kroos ------------ Rob - -------Schweini ---- vBom...

Bayern wont let Schweinsteiger go.

Klaus Allofs, manager i.e. technical director of Werder, said that in order to raise his price.

Hopefully Kroos. Before the tournament there was actually Trochowski seemingly set for the RW/ROM position, but Müller got in with 2 strong performances in the last 2 friendlies. FORTUNATLY. Trochowski is nowhere a game winner as Müller is and Kroos should be. I mean, both options cant replace...

Dunno if its worth comparing players of different teams by their teams performance. I dont wanna know how many goals Messi would have scored if he would be playing in our NT this tournament ... or the spanish ...

I noticed that kid already in a friendly pre season match between Cologne and Bayern, pretty much a year ago. The funny thing is that i mostly liked his through passing when vG tried him as trequartista behind Gomez and Klose ... :)

Absolutely. I really gave up on him only a few months ago. VG put him onto his natural position, he accepted it, used his strength, acts perfectly to compensate his weaknesses and turned out to be the best central midfielder in this years bundesliga, CL and WC so far. Btw, he reminds me the...

:) and congrats!

That was the safe of the tournament so far

City paid 18M for de Jong (who should be rated much mcuh less than Özil) when he had his contract only running for half a year more. That said, as soon as there is competition of several big clubs for a player, the transfer sum is decided in kind of an auction and caused by demand. Then the...

Really hard to objectively rate Torres while having his totally subpar performances in the WC in mind ...

They have Mertesacker and Naldo as regular CBs atm. Unless one of them leaves i dont see them interested in Henrique (who is still injured anyway, isnt he?). Also dunno if the really want Hleb after his disappointing performances last year in Stuttgart. And then they might get much better offers...

Actually i really like Iniesta on the wing of the current spanish team (he even was the best player vs the Swiss). It also seems to me that his general pace is already underestimated, while his pace with the ball on the feet is really good - that is b/c it doesnt make any difference to him due...

In that Cesc can play as a deep lying playmaker and thus offer a strong replacement for Xavi. I dont see the necessary strategical mind in Özil to fulfill this role on a high level, at least not yet.

Deep Lying (center) Forward behind a single striker is his best position.

I dunno. First, i dont see Özil going anywhere for less than 30M now. Also i feel like he is a bit overrated now. I didnt like his last two matches that much. He had some technical flaws today, some easy mistakes. He also was too playfull in several situations, failing to do the easy, more...
