I'll believe this when I see it, I refuse to believe that Wenger will spend £42.5m on any player.
£40m for Ozil | Deal to Arsenal confirmed

Koscielny is a good defender and Giroud is a good striker. If they can get them both to play on a weekly basis they'll be fine.
That's true, with Cazorla, Wilshire and Ozil all playing through the middle it could be an exciting time at Arsenal. They just need a top striker and defender then I'd be generally worried about them again.
Ozil is a assist machine, any half decent striker up front is in for a lot of goals.
Pah, he's the new Arshaving.
Miracles do happen.
I still think, even with Ozil, they're a player or two away from challenging.
How is it clearly happening?
He bid 40 for suarez.
Well, that's Arsenal's spending done for another decade.
If Arsenal really managed to get Özil, then respect to them. Would be a massive signing.
I don't believe for a second that Wenger had any intention of completing that signing, I think it was just posturing to appease the fans and get the £££££ from the season ticket renewals. I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if this transfer doesn't go through.
We will pay Rooney whatever he wants, no matter how badly he behaves.
Well he should playing, he is a better footballer than Giggs at this point. My point is we have enough players in that role spending 40 plus on Ozil (as good as he is) is not the priority.
I don't know pretty much every major news outlet saying its almost a done deal, if Arsenal pull out now their fans would go fecking nuts.
Yeah unless we dump wingers (which Moyes doesn't seem to want to do) I dont see where we'd fit Ozil in, he's far too similar to Rooney (who we've spent all summer refusing to sell) and Kagawa (who all season we've refused to play)
Not really sure how much he'll add to Arsenal either tbh, he's better than what they've got but wont cover up the same old weaknesses they've always had at the other end

Wingers, they are imposters.
Why are Madrid getting rid of him? I think ozil is better than bale - at least from their perspective.
It's not Bale that's the problem, it's Isco.
Yeah, I've decided we need to hijack this now. We were dying for creativity today, there's a chance Moyes doesn't fancy Kagawa, we desperately need skill in central areas/out wide and, if we don't sign him, Arsenal might become a force to be reckoned with.

He would not have scored that chance last season. They could do with a cb and keeper also. Ramsey is starting to look good also, pleased for the lad.
Why did Chelsea just spent £30m on Willian instead of this guy?
Can't Isco go out wide?
Willan is class.
Wut?
He can but then he's stealing Bale's or Ronaldo's position.
Where did Isco play today? I was under the assumption Isco was a wide player but are Madrid playing him centrally?
Nah he's best as a #10 but he can drift in from out wide too. Quite like David Silva.
Ozil is a great signing on paper for Arsenal but doesn't really solve many issues for them. Still need a top striker and still need better defenders. Ozil is a better player, but he plays in the position they're already best equipped which is a/m where they have wilshere and carzola who are both very good there and Ramsey and Rosicky who are both good players there on their day. Still guess its always worth getting a top class player if you can.
I will still believe when I see it as official. There has been so much of this twitter shite, based on very little. Even the "reliable" sources run these rumours whenever it starts trending.
A great signing, but I just can't see it. If it is money he wants then I am sure PSG would be offering much more. Ozil was going to PSG or us until Wenger mentioned the surprise, then it exploded, starting with obscure sources.
Ozil is clearly a Wenger type player and he's very much an Arsenal type player. He'd be their best player by a long long way and one of the best players in the league.
I only referred to the rumours, not whether Wenger would like him.
It's hardly rumours, everyone is reporting it. Something is clearly happening.
I do have this funny feeling he won't go to Arsenal tomorrow. Not to put them down much, but they are an incredibly big step down from Real, and Ozil has been a proper first team player for the past 3 seasons. If he was a fringe player I would completely understand... but he isn't
I cant believe he wouldn't chose PSG over Arsenal tbh
It's rumours to me until there is something concrete. Using your logic, we were in advanced talks with Thiago. We now know, we weren't at any time.
