Not what people say in the media but actions. RM got rid of him for Bale, Modric and Kroos to go on to win multiple CLs. Germany played him out wide all through out the WC and put Kroos at no. 10 to win it where he practically did nothing. Özil along with Giroud who wasn't actually rubbish had Alexis and Walcott who have had good scoring records regardless of him.Robert Pires: "Özil reminds me of Zidane"
Bellerin: "Özil is a born champion"
Wenger: "If you love football, you love Mesut Özil"
Mourinho: "Özil is unique, there is no copy of him"
Ronaldo: "The sale of Özil is very bad news for me"
Those are just a few. If I search I could find more, much more.
Say what you like about Özil's performances now but don't rewrite history and pretend that he didn't perform at an amazingly high level for years. He almost broke the premier league assist record feeding Giroud and only failed to do so because the Frenchman decided to go on a 15 game goal scoring drought.
On Beckham, it is telling that you named some of the best players (and Michael Owen) in English Football history to make your point on Beckham being overrated. If you have to point to the likes of Shearer and Lampard to go well Beckham wasn't that good, maybe you need to revise your opinion.
My point was those players were rated lower than Beckham despite being much better players when you actually see them compared what we're supposed to believe. Was Beckham as good as them?
