Leon245 5 hours ago: Some things we can say about this:

- Arsenal made a world class signing, top 5 CAM in the world! Absolutely amazing!
- Real Madrid is stupid to sell him. I can not see any reason for that. They lost their creator.
- Barcelona is thanking Arsenal for that. He was making assist after assist against them.
- Man.United fans are thinking "WTF? What about us?" Well, Sir Alex is not there anymore. It happens.

Happy to see him in Premier League! Congratulations Arsenal!

By signing Bale, Madrid increased their chances of winning the CL by 42 percent. But by selling Ozil, they decreased it by 85.

he's so special to us because madrid developed him, he's our best playmaker since zidane & he's the best CAM in the world. he changes a game with 1 pass. ozil gave his all every game & he always showed up against barcelona. every madridsta is upset that we sold our best midfielder. arsenal will be 10x stronger with him on the pitch & he'll make giroud one of the best strikers in the world. good luck in the epl man, i'll be watching u guys every weekend & cheering on for you guys.

What? The thought of Ronaldo, Isco and Bale running at a defense is scary. Isco is better than Ozil by 1000 miles. You know nothing about football man. Absolutely nothing. hahahaha
'isco is better than Ozil by 1000 miles' that alone shows you don't know what you're saying...

If Madrid thinks he is that good, they would not sell him. Madrid is not a selling club. They have the money. Have you ever thought of that? Ozil was already loosing playing time towards the end of last season.
considering how frugal wenger is with money, he wouldn't buy a player for that amount if he's nt good..

I know you are excited lol. But dont be delusional that a team that have signed 3 to 4 solid players in all departments will be jealous of a team that signed only one and has no solid bench. lol. Now you are being delusional. Arsenal has still not signed a replacement for Song. Ozil is not and never was a game changer. He is a fluid player for a fluid team but never a game changer in Madrid or elsewhere. You can enjoy yourself though, nothing spoil
shhhh! Am a madrid fan, i can tell you that Ozil is a Play maker. Unfortunately, other Playmakers like Modric, Isco, Ororo and Bale are in same team! Ozil will do what he's good at in Arsenal- assist more and score less. Unselfish player. I love that guy, he's like no other.

Well, let Arsenal fans hope this "statement" is a sign of things to come NEXT season. . . . .this season would be business as usual for them.
U CAN NEVER SEE GOOD THING HAPPENING IN ARSENAL BECAUSE U HATE THE GOOD CLUB. LET CALL A SPADE A SPADE AND SENTIMENT APART, THE OZIL IS A GOOD BUY MY GUY. BURRY UR SENTIMENT INTO UR ASSSSSSS
Re: Mesut Ozil Officially Signs For Arsenal by dotcomnamename: 7:04pm On Sep 03, 2013
For those who believe stats isn’t enough to convince you, why not check him out in action?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt32zpP2haQ

Now the immediate question would be, where will Wenger play his diamond? To find a possible answer let’s take help from the pitch map of the number of chances he created last season for Real Madrid.

As is clearly evident, he is someone who is a creator and it does mean he will certainly play in the Central Attacking Midfielder Role. This means Santi Cazorla would have to put his shifts out wide on the left and Theo Walcott with all his pace and trickery play our right. Jack Wilshere and Mickel Arteta when fit will play as the double pivot of the 4-2-3-1 with Oliver Giroud up front on his own.

Ozil’s goalscoring record isn’t bad either – in fact, Ozil boasted La Liga’s best conversion rate last season after netting with 9 of his 30 shots (that’s 41% accuracy – better than Lionel Messi’s 35%). Moreover he can shoot from distance perfectly matching with Wenger’s balanced waiting approach.


Tactical Analysis with Ozil in Starting Eleven of Arsenal and Change in Approach:

I would say Ozil would be the focal point of all Arsenal Attacks. As seen from the tactics board, The two wing backs in Sagna and Gibbs would give enough width on the pitch. Ateta once fit will take up the CDM role allowing Wilshere to push forward and join Ozil. As Bleacher Report suggests: The question will not be how Ozil will fit into Wenger’s lineup at Arsenal, but how Wenger will adapt his system to best complement the playmaker’s talents—consideration the German was not given at Real. The Gunners currently play a counterattacking game, which suited Ozil perfectly at the 2010 World Cup. He’ll be the first outlet from the back, and his ability to evade defenders and play the ball forward to the likes of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will add a new dimension to the Arsenal counterattack.

Just have a look what I am trying to saying below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Grp-I59dNw

Ozil cuts inside lays a nice ball to Khedira who does the rest. Let’s be assured Giroud will get a lot of balls like that this campiagn, as the form that the Frenchman is in, expect him to score quite a lot this campaign

Inevitably as seen from my tactics board, Thomas Rosicky and Lukas Podoslki won’t feature in the starting Eleven. Now this is certainly cruel given the start Rosicky has had a superb start to the campaign. Despite being penned in as a holding midfielder—in the role moulded for Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta in the current campaign—Rosicky was most active in the final third. With the way that Arsene Wenger’s designated three central midfielders shift and rotate constantly, the Czech playmaker’s decisions to join in on the attack did no disservice to the Arsenal defense. Given his willingness and desire to put in tackles a defender would be proud of (he’s quite adept at the sliding challenge), you couldn’t say he shirks his defensive responsibilities, either. But with now Ozil joining the Gunners, it looks like the plethora of midfielders Wenger has at his disposal, Rosicky’s playing time will be down to cup ties and coming from the bench. However there is bad news for Lukas Podolski.

How much Arsenal would be in the title race come April next year is quite questionable and debatable at best, but these are certainly good times ahead for the Gunners. They have almost rubbed off their debt, playing attractive football, the Wenger way.

Yes people would question their trophy claims over the last eight years, Arsenal would still be at the end of lame jokes claiming the dust on their trophy room have caused allergy to their players. But even the pessimist of those at the Emirates would feel this is perhaps the time, the azure skies finally open up. As one of my carzy Arsenal Friends would say, Come on You Gunners!!!!!

German international Ozil joins Arsenal

German international midfielder Mesut Ozil has joined Arsenal on a long-term contract in a Club record deal.

Ozil, 24, joins Arsenal from Real Madrid where he made a total of 159 appearances in three years. During that time he won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

The attacking midfielder has been a long-term target and manager Arsène Wenger said: “We are extremely pleased to have signed Mesut Ozil. He is a great player, with proven quality at both club and international level. We have watched and admired him for some time as he has all the attributes I look for in an Arsenal player.
“Mr Kroenke, our controlling owner, has always fully supported Arsène and the Club in making significant investments to strengthen our squad and to bring in talented players who fit our style and ambitions.

"Like all of us, Mr Kroenke wants to see Arsenal winning titles and trophies and he has absolute faith and belief in our manager to achieve that. We will continue to work towards that goal and look forward to an exciting season.”

Ozil joined his hometown club Schalke in 2006 at the age of 18 and, after spending two years with the Gelsenkirchen club, he made the move to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen in 2008. After making 71 appearances with Bremen, Ozil made the move to Real Madrid following impressive displays at the World Cup in South Africa. He has made 47 appearances for his country, scoring 17 goals.

Speaking after completing his medical in Germany, Ozil said: “I am thrilled to be joining a club of the stature of Arsenal and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It will be great for my own personal development as a player and I am particularly looking forward to working with Arsène Wenger.

“From our negotiations it is clear the Club has huge ambition and I look forward to being part of an exciting future.”

Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Mesut to the Club. The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes. His number will be announced via @Arsenal on Twitter shortly.
