Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid have signed Germany's World Cup star Mesut Ozil the big-eyed star from Werder Bremen.

Neither side revealed details of the costs involved, but Spanish media reported a figure of 15 million euros (£12.4m) had been agreed.
Werder, who had been fighting to hang on to the midfielder, appear to have accepted Ozil's desire to leave after a meeting at their stadium earlier in the day.
The German club said he would not be part of their side to face Italy's Sampdoria on Wednesday for the Champions League qualification play-off, which means he will be able to compete with Real in the same competition.
He is expected to take a medical in Madrid on Wednesday.
Ozil, who is of Turkish descent, joined Bremen in January 2008 from Schalke 04 and scored 12 goals in 71 Bundesliga appearances for them.
He won the Under-21 European championship in 2009 and has scored twice in 17 full international games.
At Real, he will join a host of other young signings under new coach Jose Mourinho as they attempt to wrest the La Liga title from Barcelona.
The Spanish giants have already landed midfielder Khedira from VfB Stuttgart, wingers Angel Di Maria and Pedro Leon and midfielder Sergio Canales, along with experienced defender Ricardo Carvalho.

I added the BigEye

The german blood flows in me, yet im not happy for ozil. C.ronaldo on the left&kaka on the right. Just 2midfield spot left for ozil,khedira,alonso,diara&others. Simply means some pple will sit on the bench

Ozil and Kaka in d same team?

Be afraid of Real now Barca fans;be really afraid

^^^^ Enough beef. You guys are fucking vegetarians
so u cant handle the beef well. Anyways lets see what madshyt wud do.

The young man has just made a very, very potentially costly mistake. . . . RM is not the club to be at just now, no!

Kaka is injured till December and Ozil would get playing time.

He is still 21yrs even if the Madrid experiment fails he still has a long time ahead of him.

Toba, CR7 plays as a support striker nowadays. So Alonso Khedira and Ozil can play in middle

no need to sugar-coat the situation. . . . . Ozil will never get enuf games to collect a winners medal if RM end up taking the title away from Barca - if he moved to RM cuz he truely wanted to play football and not for money, then he berra think again.
Even in Hollywood FC he wouldn't see shirt, talkless of RM!

Oezil is my boy,but hes overzealous&may regret his decision. Lahm,schweinsteiger, muller, ribery were lured but they saw the future&remained focused in the BLiga. He thinks he has arrived. Go ask ur ogas like roben,sneider, hunterlaar,henry,owen,ibrahimnovic.

Rubbish . . .OZIL IS BORN TO RULE!

So with Kaka injured, Who would play as Real Madrids attacking midfielder?

There are quality playas that will be sitting on the bench with new playas comin in. What are other managers waitin for?

Take your pick. . . . . . . . Xabi Alonso, Esteban Granero, Pedro Leon, Sergio Canales, Rafael Van Der Vaart

Xabi Alonso is not attacking so he isnt a direct competitor with Ozil,

Van Der vaart was there when he was overlooked repeatedly, No one has faith in him even the Dutch coach van Marwijk. They are just looking for who would buy him.

Ozil has a bigger pedigree than Canales and Leon. Ozil is one of the revelations of the World cup at least he would get his chance till he messes it up

Ozil will soon be old news

Stop taking that ganja dude!

What a team.!offload sum midfielders pls.eeez

It doesn't matter who is direct competitor or not - the point is there is very limited available starting slots in that RM midfield.

Ozil has bigger pedigree than Leon & Canales Maybe in his li'l turkish villa, definitely not in Spain - I really don't need to say much, RM's starting 11 against Mallorca tells you how much of a mistake Ozil made. . . . invariably, if Kaka had been fit, he probably would never have made the bench!

VdV has been sold out.

Leon and Canales? Do they even have national team caps? Ozil was a star at the World cup. Whether Leon and Sergio Canales would ever achieve that is something we have to find out in their next 20yrs

Canales is like the hottest youngster in Spain right now. Mourinho is known for never giving youngsters playing chances yet Canales played almost all the pre-season games and started against Mallorca. Canales, 19 started ahead of Ozil with all the world cup hype around him. That says it all. If Canales was not needed, he would have been relegated to the Castilla

.

Mourinho knew they had Canales yet he bought Ozil.

Whats the biggest game Canales has ever played? Whats the biggest opposition he has ever played, whats the biggest "alien" stadium" he has ever played?

Has he ever played any European competitions before?

Ozil has played in the CL and UEFA cup with Bremen lots of qualifiers and WC games with Germany in very hostile places including freezing Russia where no team has ever won before.

He is a kid yet seen a lot.

Take canales to Nou Camp, San Siro and Munich under very hostile condition and watch him freeze

I hope he doesn't end up like Metzelder but a great move all the same. Real Madrid have pretty high expectations and his goal return is pretty low for an AM somehow i just am not sure he would meet up but i hope he proves me wrong.

It's Real Madrid innit?
Yawns

another talent gone down the drain

#QuoteMe

After his exploit at madrid so far and in the wc. I will gladly slap the dog poo out of anyone that doesn't give the young maestro the props he

truly deserves. He is too intelligent. . . . recognises and does what is necessary at [b]every [/b]point in time . . . ala Zidane.

Who cares about national caps & WC stardom. . . . . . and BTW, who the bleep knows Ozil in Spain do not mistake some small publicity in Nazi-land as worldwide popularity.
Fact remains when Kaka returns & we all know for certain that he will your much revered Ozil will sit his butt on the bench so much that the only sponsorship deals he will make will be with ROBB - lucky for him their subs benches in the bernabeu are bit more comfy than those in Onikan!

Did anyone see the Madrid game this weekend? Ozil was easily MOTM. Food for thought

Ozil MOTM
Okay, he made some good moves but last time I checked it was a frigging centre-back that galloped about 80yards to poke that rebound in!

Anyone that scores is the MOTM? Shocking statements
