Mesut Ozil

I really hope he leaves.

More of a signing to please Arsenal fans than what is needed for the team really. He will improve the team, but not necessarily in the position they need. Still an exciting signing for them though.

Good, having Isco and Ozil was too much talent in rm. Good to see one leaving.

i wonder what Ray Hudson will say about this transfer (he's a big ozil fan).

He was so pissed off , naturally ... It's Ray Hudson he will be jizzing on Isco by October

So excited about Ozil. arty1:

Ozil is supposedly going to earn 8mln euros per year, 1 more than Bale. That makes it 200k per week.

Most rm fans are pissed about him leaving, on the marca comments sections, at least. I just read some nasty stuff there.

He is popular , give them sometime...tactically and financially it's correct even Gabi Marcotti wrote that much in his ESPN column talking about Bale

The other issue is how Bale's arrival impacts Madrid. It looks as if Mesut Ozil and Kaka are the pair on their way out, which makes sense as otherwise there would have been a glut of attacking midfielders in Carlo Ancelotti's team. Real also make back roughly half of Bale's fee by selling Ozil and save themselves a bundle -- close to $50 million -- by ditching Kaka.

We can debate whether they overpaid for Bale until the cows come home. But shifting Ozil and Kaka at this stage could be almost as important to the club's season.

I mean by now it's obvious what most fans want.

 

[DonAndres]

So does Ozil's transfer mean that Isco will be taking the #10 shirt? If so, how soon?

 

[Faceless]

Well, seems legit now... Good luck to Ozil in the EPL.. Cant imagine him in an Arsenal shirt still.

 

[Badger]

He'll probably be the Premier League's best player. Great signing for Arsenal.

 

[CatalinR10]

Is it official yet ?

 

[El Gato]

Nowhere near.
