Mesut Özil: Time to Move Ön?

[Football Manager]

Özil is a streetball player who got a deal. That type of player tends to develop a cult following cause people love seeing players who can casually pull off tricks and flicks, but these streetball players usually can't cut it in team sports. It's shocking he has got this far at the top, previous streetball favourites don't go for too long before getting dumped by top clubs(Robinho, Denilson, Ronaldinho etc). Get rid.

You are wrong. I never see Özil pull off tricks and flicks. I think you were watching Cazorla and think he was Özil.

Don’t agree with this either. Lacazette works hard defensively, turns up in big games and has what Deeney might call cajones. Can understand your criticism of his physicality (his biggest weakness is that he has no outstanding attribute there) but he’s a clutch player otherwise.

I really don't think he's better than Giroud, who neither me or you were big fans of. But the thing is Giroud was all alone for seasons, he would've looked much better if he was able to rotate. However, Giroud had better wingers to share the burden with so it's hard to compare. I just don't see much between them other than the fact Giroud didn't cost us 50 million.

Lacazette doesn't even get a sniff in the French NT, and tbh I don't blame them he wouldn't add anything.

People banging on about Cazorla, short memories. Great player but he was getting dominated in games, getting all dizzy against Sp**s and having to be substituted at HT.

I'm struggling to remember these games when he got dominated, please can you give examples other than that Sp**s off game he had (which most of team was poor that day).

Our very own Rooney. Everyone could see this coming. Needs to be forced out in the summer no matter what.

Probably the best contemporary comparison (in terms of reduced output and huge, late-stage contract giving too much credit for past performances), though Rooney’s drop off wasn’t for lack of trying; legs were shot thanks to a PL debut at 16 and a decade-and-a-half of gangbusters effort. Özil doesn’t have either excuse.

Sell him. Doesn't track back.

Aaah, poor Rooney had to fight with wolves every day while Özil relaxed on his sunbed in Madrid

Poor today, literally invisible on the pitch - get rid

Apparently he’s been playing with a brain injury for much much longer.

Why did this thread even get a bump? He was injured again and didn’t play....Bedwetters unite!

Gone in the summer

You’re just sad mate.

 

[Ricardinho]

I'm not really big on wanting him gone but I agree with jury as to why this thread get a bump?

 

[RacingPhoton]

Mostly probably, he will be made the scapegoat at the end of the season, sold and replaced with someone who might be good/bad. Who replaces him doesn't matter. We will still get the same results because of the complete waste of a midfield we have. At least then the haters will realize where the problems lie.

Because people seem to point to him as a reason for our poor performances whenever he played.

Your'e dreaming mate he ain't going nowhere .

I think it's clear at this stage that we a soft touch away whether he plays or not

On the contrary, I’m practically ****-a-hoop. Getting rid of expensive dead wood is where we start doing things right. You want him gone too. Why you crying?

Well that wont be for want if trying to get rid of him.

Our midfield is poor too. Xhaka will hopefully be replaced. Lots of work to be done.

Tbf, that was one game where Wenger said he "wasn't at the races" and I think he was ill. He was good technically and if a team shut down Özil, they had him to deal with and better still, we could continue to play our game. Right now, Torreira aside, our midfielders can't be pressed or run at decent pace with the ball or pass consistently well. Cazorla wasn't perfect but we have been horribly deficient for three years without him.
