Is it me or has Özil been getting more and more handsomer since joining us?

Yeah, filling up and looks healthier. During his Guti wannabe time at RM, you would think he wouldn't get out when its windy in case he is lost.

As I said, best player of the tournament for Germany.

Laughable how he wasn't named in the team of the tournament ahead of Kroos or fatboy Payet who didn't turn up after the 1st game.
His performance vs France was out of this world.

Kroos was rubbish after the group games.

Superb in the first half, he and Özil tore France to pieces before the handball madness.
Also I just want to point out how hilarious it is that people are insinuating that a contributing factor to us not winning the league is the fact that we play Özil in a 10 role in a 4-2-3-1 and had nothing to do with our deep midfield issues from December onward or Girouds goal drought. And thus we need to get Özil "out of the way" so to speak and shove him on the right so we can get 3 centre-mids in. Ignoring the fact that whenever Ramsey plays on the right it usually becomes a midfield 3 at times anyways with Özil drifting a bit to the right. But of course people suggest we need a whole formation change with takes our best player out of his best position. Nah, how about sign a top striker with good movement, make sure our midfield doesn't result in a Ramsey-Coquelin styled partnership and in general makes sure the team is playing well as a whole and our 4-2-3-1 with Özil as a 10 won't be a problem. Believe me.

Congrats to Mesut on making the Euro team of the tourney. That performance v France in a 2-0 defeat probably sealed it, I reckon.

Hanging onto this guy this summer is a priority, right up there with signing a new striker.
We sign a new striker but relinquish Özil= 8 steps back.

the closest thing will have to Iniesta and Zidane not just for Arsenal but for the whole football world in general.

I dunno, Neymar does a pretty good impression

neymar is a more skillful CR7, he plays nothing like zidane or iniesta. Özil is so effortless in his play almost looks casual like Zidane plus they specialise in the same thing. I have a feeling Özil is going to be appreciated more in the coming years as he is the last of a dying breed, look how long it took people to appreciate the genius of Andres Iniesta

That's funny, coz in that case, Özil plays nothing like Iniesta or Zidane then. Looking effortless... Is that all it takes? What about Neymars ability to dribble with his head up? I know, he scores goals by the bucket load, so unfortunately that's where he doesn't quite measure up to Özil and Iniesta
I agree, though, where you say Özil is a dying breed--although I'd probably say they're being phased out, rather than his type becoming somehow extinct,
