Mesut Özil

Re: Mesut Özil

He is like Nasri/Rosicky kind of playmaker.

If Wenger wants to play this kind of player in his midfield trio, he would have gone for Nasri. Özil is less of a defending midfielder anyway than Nasri, and Wenger won't play him there

Who would you look to get rid of if Özil was a target?

He can play wide though can't he?

Re: Mesut Özil

If we got him he'd be an immediate replacement for / starter ahead of Rosicky/Nasri in the AM role, and depending on the shape AW goes with he could be an eventual replacement for AA's creative role with Nasri stepping up.

He don't have much pace to be honest. Equivalent to another Nasri playing on the wings

Re: Mesut Özil

Cant see him coming with Nasri Rosicky Walcott Vela etc.

Re: Mesut Özil

I've never scene him play, but if he is around 6ft with a great passing range, and not a ton of pace he sounds like a creative holding midfielder kind of like Xabi Alonso. I think we may be looking at him to fill the rotation we have in midfield because now we only have 3 players for 3 positions that we can rely on. Once you go beyond Cesc, Song, and Diaby we don't have much in midfield. He has to be better than Denilson.

Re: Mesut Özil

Uhh, what? How did you come to that conclusion? About him being a defensive midfielder. I mean from the premise that he's a good passer, isn't too fast and is six feet tall. That's just... nonsense. Or did I miss the point and it was just sarcasm & a sly dig at Denilson?

totally different kind of players, he is more like a joe cole

Re: Mesut Özil

I didn't mean to say that he was a defensive midfielder, but more so a deep lying creative player. A Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Mikel Arteta, or Xavi type of player. That is the type of player he sounded like to me. I don't consider Denilson to be a defensive midfielder even though we play him there for some reason.

If Özil is more like a Joe Cole type of player than I don't think we would need him unless someone left. Next season we will have Nasri, Arshavin, Rosicky, Walcott, and maybe Chamakh trying to play the two wide offensive positions. I can't see where Özil would fit in.

Re: Mesut Özil

Nothing deep about the way Özil plays. He would probably need a dragging striker role assigned to him in order to be productive. Which is why I don't want him.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Re: Mesut Özil

I love Özil.

I don't know where he would fit in to our team though.

 

[yakso]

Re: Mesut Özil

He is a fantastic prospect but aren't we already saturated with these AM types? I would rather we focus on getting other areas like forward, CB and GK.

I know we all agree it's from that bollocks website caughtoffside but just thought I'd bump this. I wonder if this has any truth to it or if them part timers are putting 2 and 2 and coming up with 5 what with the rumours regarding Cesc and all.
