    Its probably been updated, but his agent says next 7-10 days:

    "Mesut Ozil's agent CONFIRMS he will decide on his next move by the end of next week with no final agreement on a move to Fenerbahce despite reports in Turkey that he has a villa being built in Istanbul next door to the president"

    Thx,

    Jay!

    I feel like I've had my catharsis - will delete and move on. Though I still think the off-season thread is a catchall.

    IF (and that’s a mighty big IF) Hamid continues to have even a few starts for the USMNT, and continues to play well, he will be noticed by mid level Euro leagues and teams. It’s always nice to have a Plan C at Keeper.

    Jon Kempin has been quite a MLS journeyman.

    Pablo retweeted Birnbaum who announced his recent ankle surgery. Says he’ll be back in 2021, but when?

    Summer is likely. Ankle strength is super important and you can't rush back from this type of surgery.

    We got another 4 years before we have to dodge that ball again.

    The post article made it clear that without upgrades to the supporting cast Ozil wasn't going to be as effective as someone with his salary should be. That is probably the real reason he won't come. That and we have no coach.

    By the age at which he signs with us, this will be his actual real time internal dialogue.
