Gimme someone new.
At the end of the day, Cesc would have been a better No.1o than Özil had he played there, and there's no comparison when you move him deeper, where he excels. Just better all round.
Even in a side full of stars, I used to look at Cesc and think 'thank **** we've got him'. His name on the sheet inspired confidence. Özil may have done that in a different way for others, but Cesc was in-your-face quality.No one ever had to make excuses for Cesc. You didn’t have to be a genius football coach to see what he brings to the team like some go on about Özil.
Tbf Cesc's best season was 09/10 when Van Persie was injured for most of it and Bendtner was starting week in week out.
07/08 Cesc was deffo the best all around. Though his 09/10 until he inevitably fell off after Christmas was ridiculous as well.
Think overall it's a bit misguided to compare Özil and Cesc's Arsenal careers. Cesc was breaking through for us and had it all to prove for the world, he was utterly energetic and unstoppable at times. Meanwhile Özil took the step down from Real Madrid, which may have been a factor to him not being as good as we know he can be for longer periods than it has been the case. Cesc was similar for Chelsea after he flopped at Barca, one good season aside.
Bottom line is, both have been magic for us, and I would've killed to see them in the same starting lineup for us.
Still think Cesc was helped by having a parade of top class strikers he could assist.
All Özil had meanwhile was Giroud.
And to think we could have had Cesc, Özil and Santi at the same time..

In my personal opinion this thing about "he had better strikers on the end of his passes and it therefore made him look better" (or visa versa) doesn't necessarily mean too much in terms of judging a player. At the end of the day you will be able to see a player's quality when they are on the ball and what they do with it. The only thing I would imagine is affected is the amount of assists. But in terms of watching the club every game you can see how important a player is regardless.Still think Cesc was helped by having a parade of top class strikers he could assist.

Damn he was good!
