    The german media were being absurd in 2014 - largely following the lead of the UK media.

    Ozil had a really great qualifying for the World Cup and also a good tourney - especially as he was asked to fill reu's left wing spot and did it without moaning

    But bad body language!

    According to Twitter (and Marca) Mesut Ozil has rejected a contract extension with the Gunners, amid rumours that Barcelona are targeting him [Marca and Sport]

    While I don't give much credence to these stories, I would not be surprised if Mesut is growing frustrated with some of his teammates. particularly with the anemic return from the Theo, Ox & Joel.

    He's under contract till 2018. He'll be 29 at that point, and won't make nearly as much sense for Barca to sign.

    He will extend. It is in both parties interest. IMO, al that "noise" is his part of his agent's tactics to get more $$.

    Or Barça's ludicrous gamesmanship leading up to our Champions League tie.

    It's not then

    Marca put it out along with a Blid.


    The Barcelona papers denied the story.

    I had forgotten it was Marca.

    Either way, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

    I feel like sooner than later the hammers just going to drop and the whole "Ozil wants out of Arsenal, will not re sign, will be sold in the summer" stuff is going to happen and be real.

    I think you may be right. And I feel the same about Sanchez. It probably boils down to whether we win the league or not this year.

    Sanchez needs to up his game in order to feel slighted. He's been as poor this year as he was good last year.

    Not sure you meant to say "slighted" but I agree he's been poor this season compared to last season. Funny, he seemed to up his game a bit, against Argentina the other night... maybe he just has a proportionately bigger role with Chile than he does w/ Arsenal? And they play him as their forward, although he still roams about, comes back deep, etc. Dunno, but I bet if he'd been healthier and on form for us this year, we'd be in 2nd place, if not first.

    We start too many players that need a free role. Sanchez and Ramsey have the same issue, imo, which is that their poor positional discipline hurts us if they're not scoring goals. As good as Sanchez is, he's a solo artist.

    There's been a lot of discussion about Cruyff lately. And I learned of his moniker "Pythagoras with boots". There are a few players in today's game that you could still apply that to, and Ozil is certainly one of them.

    How's that for getting this thread back on track? :)

    Mesut Ozil's assists and key passes in 2015/16. Long but really amazing vision and talent.
    Some of his teammates misses are shocking though.

    interesting stuff. @DutchCane always said we would look much better with GErvinho. Shoot, if Walcott would get his head out of his ass, he could be that.

    Ozil would have four key passes to Gervinho per game, and three assists to Gervinho all season. Gervinho did an unbelievable job off the ball, and got into some phenomenal positions. Finishing just happened to be awful.

    probably

    who knows, but the idea is right. A player with that profile, but a bit better finishing.
