Reports coming in from Ozil's medical suggest that Ozil has 360 degree vision, like a pigeon.

Ignore the goalkeeper, defender and striker the club needs and get excited about another midfielder!

Don't think anyone is ignoring the fact that other positions need strengthening but you've surely got to be happy about one of the best midfielders in the world signing for us....haven't you?

I think with the flamster playing is heart out yesterday and showing he is what we need and with the whole team yesterday defending as a team I think we could just about make do 'if' and a big 'if' if we can continue to play like that,for me a striker is still a must though,having said that if you can keep the ball out of your own net you've always got a chance of winning,weve always seen it the other way around in recent years with needing 5 goals to win a game every week

The toffees have got a work permit application in for porto midfielder Fernando - was he the guy that was suggested as a DM candidate for us a few months back ? Somebody put up a YouTube clip of a Porto DM and he was a beast so if it is the same guy then I am surprised that no bigger club came in for him :o

Complete panic buy IMO. I don't doubt he is talented but we have well and truly paid over the odds.
