Özil lives rent-free in my head
theres no problem with getting leftovers. Viera, Bergkamp, Henry. All were leftovers/slight failures in Italy the difference is there was thought behind getting them as players. Özil was just bought because of his name (and to placate the fans calling for a big name, reading between the line suspect he is Gazidis' trophy signing) imo rather than whether he would fit or complement the players we already had. Hes a great player but dont think we can rely on him to shift this team to the next level, its been shown time and time again when he disappears when needed the most, hes a luxury player. That's the difference between him and the aforementioned players and that's why all things considered I would have got/would still get rid.. Nobody sane would buy him on those wages now though and that is about as damning as it gets.Arsenal always seemed very opportunistic in the transfer window to me. Was happy we got Özil back then, later i thought it was more a burden than a blessing. We always get the left overs and not the ones we need.
