Re: The Mesut Ozil Thread
I gotta say it actually feels great that we've signed Ozil, normaly its we've signed who? but now a really quality big name player, if only we had done it earlier and been able to keep RVP, emagine with RVP up front now, still i think were do allright and maybe get fang face from liverpool now in january... happy days...

The great thing is that you can use any or indeed all of the versions of his name for this classic ditty:
Ooh-zil to the Arsenal
Ert-sil to the Arsenal
O-zil to the Arsenal
From Real to the Arsenal!!

I started off really good at German language in University. Indeed I often came top of the class.

I just posted this in the 'transfers' section but i now realise it's probably better suited here so apologies for the repetition:markyp wrote:another massive positive of this signing is it will attract more top players to us,imagine the players that might be drawn now,could be a snowball effect,maybe??
real Madrid players are gutted about losing him not just the fans
It's been suggested in some quarters that AW doesn't want to bring in star players because they'll destroy the harmony he promotes within the changing room. Have you noticed that AW never shouts at his players during a game altho he'll often berate officials. It's said that he doesn't allow players to shout at each other during games and he was sometimes seen to restrain Pat Rice when he wanted to jump off the bench to castigate a player. Star players have opinions, expectations, egos and demands. Ozil is a modest kind of superstar but- make no mistake- his price tag, talent, experience and ambition will make him top dog at AFC and altho he wasn't demonstrable at Real he had his wage increase expectations which weren't met and precipitated his exit from one of the biggest clubs in the world. In other words, he's not backwards in coming forwards and (FINALLY, the point of my post:) his arrival could have quite a big influence on the dressing room here cos he's not going to stay around for the duration of his 5year deal if the team aren't challenging and if the manager is slipshod in strengthening the side. He'll either rebel within or simply leave. Let's look on the positive side for now and say that AFC have gone up a few notches in world status after securing such a deal, i can't see him being anything other than a roaring success and a perfect fit to our style on the pitch and a tremendous marketing success off it (when he posted about joining us on Facebook he wrote in 4diff languages which tells you his footing on the international stage) so after the 'what a waste' of Gervinho 'i want to be straight' and say there's 'reasons to be cheerful' with Ozil (ask your dad if you don't get the references)

that yellow shirt would be a lot better without that shitty cartoon on it.
if he does a job for us, might have to get a TOFFS shirt with his name & number on it.

We would have to sign Messi himself for me to buy a replica shirt, £68 plus postage for a shirt for my eight year old!

Re: The Mesut Ozil Thread
A serious question.
how long do you think it would take Ozil to get pissed off, if we aren't challenging seriously for trophies?
He has been used to relative success at Real, which even in a trophy less season any discontent was surely outweighed by the fact that he was playing for arguably the biggest club in the world and one which never allows failure to become a year on year habit.

Real Mad-to-get-rid as tears flow in Spain-By Arseblog
Posted by: Arseblog News Hound 23 hours agoin General, Transfers in143 Comments
They call it schadenfreude* in German – enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others.
While Arsenal fans form an orderly queue outside North London dry cleaners, awkwardly stained slacks in hand and pre-prepared explanations on the tip of their collective tongues, it appears Real Madrid’s players and supporters have only just twigged how big a loss Mesut Ozil threatens to be.
From record-breaking striker to former sporting director, new face to old guard, golfer to tennis player, musician to film star…pretty much everybody associated with Los Merengues is mourning Mesut’s move.
With lips trembling and, in the case of Ronaldo, mascara running down his cheeks, here’s the reaction from the Spanish capital:
Cristiano Ronaldo: “The sale of Ozil is very bad news for me. He was the player who best knew my moves in front of goal… I’m angry about Özil leaving.”
Isco: “The truth is I was very surprised, and even more after he said last week he was going to stay. We all know Ozil has a lot of quality and is a player capable of changing a game.”
Alvaro Arbeloa: “Ozil said goodbye on Sunday but I thought it was a joke. There is nobody like him. It will be tough for the fans because they loved him.”
Sergio Ramos: “Ozil is definitely a unique team-mate and friend. We’ve always had this connection with him. I feel disappointed as the club have lost a great footballer but I don’t mind his decision to leave. His departure was his personal choice and everyone should decide their own futures.
Jorge Valdano (former sporting director): “If they gave me the choice I would put the Ozil-Angel Di Maria pairing before Bale. I would certainly put Ozil before Bale.”
Sergio Garcia (golfer): “How could they have let this happen – paying £100m to sign someone to replace Özil from a club nobody’s heard of? They are crackers in the head.”
Antonio Banderas (actor): “I cannot believe this. This is so not funny it makes Adam Sandler’s last movie look like Blazing Saddles.”
Julio Iglesias (singer): “This is a travesty. Özil is a supple magician with the feet of an angel. I am disgusted. I will begin by opening a can of whoop ass on Florentino Pérez.”
Enrique Inglesias (singer/prat): “This situation is made all the worse given Mathieu Flamini stole my mole.”
Sofia Vergara (actress) (loudly): “Oh my gaaaaaaaawd, eees terrible. Why they do theeeeeeeeees?”
Rafael Nadal (tennis player): “Rafa sad.”
Placido Domingo: “I shall never sing Nessun Dorma ever again, the pain is too much.”

*Not to be confused with ‘stefanfreunde’ which is the German word for sad, little prick.
Love the Sergio Garcia quote. ‘From a club nobody’s heard of’ Brilliant!!
