.... And Walcott is overrated, just like other British players by English press...
Just like Bale.. There are just good players, nothing exceptional about them.

@Githundi....Are you serious, Ozil was Madrid's second best player after Ronaldo. Everyone involved in football (including CR7) was shocked when they agreed to sell him to Arsenal. You are all talking of how he's not a big game player yet he was our star man against Napoli, he's also been performing very well in the National team. Ozil recorded more assists than any other footballer in Europe's major five leagues over the past half-decade, if he did that with his "laziness" then he better continue with it at the Emirates. Almost all the teams we've played against so far have made it their number one priority to lock out Ozil but that has left space for Ramsey and Carzola to shine. Like i said he's not that physical but its almost impossible to dispossess him, he has the ability of being able to dribble out of danger and provide a killer pass......no midfielder in the EPL does it better than him, that's why i compared him to Zidane who had similar attributes.

Ozil has played in each single game since he signed for Arsenal, he needed to be rested especially when we had to play Chelsea, L'pool, Dortmund (twice) then Man Utd within 2 weeks.....at OT the guy was even sick but still had to be played. In the last 3 matched we've played he's had to drift in from the right flank due to Walcott's absence but now that he's back we'll see more of the German from the centre of the pitch.


@Adnan/Mwenza....here's a good article on Ozil's abilities.

@ TAZ, there's no question about Ozil's ability, he's a gifted player as I had said earlier. In fact I love watching him play.
The questions we have, which are clear for all to see regards his inability to shine in big games, and as I said earlier it never started at Arsenal.
It's even something I saw even when he was playing in Madrid.
His work rate is poor on the field and seems to get tired easier as a game progresses, as such he usually does very well in first half.
What am saying is he needs to improve on this if he's to outshine Ronaldo, or Messi.
Have you not seen this guy rarely runs after balls,? even sometimes anawacha those within reach.
Just compare that with Suarezs never die work rate na utaona kuna shida pahali.

Ozil is super talent but so was Arshavin. He has to put in an extra shift to be great. If he does he will add goals to his game.
There must be a good reason why RM let him leave but Wenger has a reputation of getting the best from castaways e.g TH14 and Adebayor even Cesc was initially deemed surplus to requirements by Barca
