Ozil was totally drowned in the el-classico, he had to be taken off. He is begining to tread the path of Higuain, failing to show up in big games. He was also ineffective in the world cup s/final for Germany against Spain

I am waiting for Ruudie to come and say something here.

Ozil in England?? He would be hailed as the Jesus and Mohammed of this generation.

Real Madrid Werder Bremen - €15m

Mesut Ozil has quietly gone about his business since a €15m move from Werder Bremen in the summer. But that fee now seems a bargain: Ozil has scored 10 goals and set up 18 this season.

Madrid just look a better side when he is on the pitch, which was demonstrated as he climbed off the bench to help his team clinch a 1-1 draw at home to Barcelona on Saturday.

Still only 22, the German looks set to star at the Bernabeu for many years to come - [size=18pt]and he's Europe's best signing of the last year.[/size]

RuuDie:

@ Dayo,

some other persons would say the same about Chicarito, David Luiz, Suarez, Van Bommel, Aquilani etc.

dayokanu:

Of those you listed, 3 of them were signed mid season Aquilani what?

Only Chicharito would even come close to Ozil, the man/boy who is about to send Kaka out of Madrid

dayokanu:

Where is Ruddie?

In a scrappy opening 45 minutes, [size=18pt]the German was the only player to show any refinementGlorious flick sent Khedira clear, then his sublime lofted pass should have been converted by Ronaldo. Glorious cross then set up Pepe's unfortunate header[/size]. , and although he typically faded, [size=18pt]every touch of the ball was considered and creative. Surprisingly replaced with 20 minutes remaining[/size].

Mourinho made a change at half time, bringing Emmanuel Adebayor on for Mesut Ozil – who completed just two passes in the first half – and pushing Ronaldo to the right of midfield. This change has been questioned in the immediate aftermath of the game, specifically the decision to bring on Adebayor over Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, but it made perfect sense – Adebayor had a very big impact in the previous two Clasicos from the bench. He was the logical choice.

Unfortunately, Real couldn’t really take advantage of his strengths. He won a long ball after 40 seconds of the first half, but generally had no support to get on the end of flick-ons. Real’s expected approach – get the ball wide, then hang up crosses (something that worked so well in the cup final) broke down before it even begun, because Xabi Alonso exerted little influence on the game, and his long balls to the flank were often wayward, as the chalkboard on the right shows.
