I think a deciding factor for Ozil is where best he can showcase his talents to get into the German national team. The German National selectors might have a preference to where he should go. The Prem is simply more competitive than France and anyone playing well here would give them more clout. Also playing under Wenger would also raise his stock.

Obligatory youtube video. Don't know too much about him but looks alright on youtube (yes i know anyone can look good on youtube - bar Carroll) might make it AFC.
for what its worth, i hope we don't sign demba ba. he is not an upgrade on what we have. if giroud is injured, i'd rather we just played theo upfront. oh and the less said about dofoe the better
And that's just skills. The best part of Ozils game is his range of passing.
80 assists in 104 Games for Real Madrid make him more efficient than Xavi, Fabregas or Schweinsteiger.
Im getting excited.
If this happens Wenger will well and truly have proved the doubters wrong.
should we get ozil, we have a replacement for cesc, final-ball wise. ozil is one hell of a player and i have to say, am rather surprised madrid are willing to let him go

Ok! Clearly my attempt at a joke has failed, miserably at that. I am well aware of Ozil (though that video did show he has far more skills than i thought) and am ****ing delighted we are signing him.
Real are desperate for the money.
SSN reporting that a deal was agreed last week, but wasn't public knowledge because Real didn't want to upset Spurs prior to Bale signing.
