£40m for Ozil | Deal to Arsenal confirmed

[Phil]

We will never be setup for Ozil anyway, how would we fit in underperforming wingers?

 

[Member 39557]

I know he's talking about Ozil, but I don't think he's saying we should sign Ozil and not sign a central midfielder, he just wants a better central midfielder than Herrera who he doesn't rate. His general point is that when a world class player like Ozil becomes available we should try and sign them, and I agree.

We are always in for the best players in the world, apparently.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

So raeding the bollocks engine... Ozil would like to come to us, but we're not interested? Feck

 

[Raees]

getting rid of Young and Valencia...

would represent a successful transfer window by Ed's standards.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Do you think the fact he rejected us a few years has counted against him with a move to us this year....you know Fergie doesn't forget.

 

[Fergie's Man]

Reading further into some of these tweets, you soon realise that they are mainly baseless Chinese whispers.

I wouldn't write anything off at this stage. Last night it was all Arsenal.

 

[ryan_forlan]

Moyes is briefing the media!

Just logged-on, seems I've missed a few things this morning

What? Really? Where?

 

[RedTillI'mDead]

Manchester United have denied that they have entered the chase for Real Madridforward Mesut Ozil, but Sky sources understand contact has been made with representatives of the Germany international. Paris St Germain are also believed to be keen on the highly-rated 24-year-old.

 

[Antisocial]

What? Really? Where?

Only a mocking reference to the "working hard" bit in that Tweet.

 

[golden_blunder]

If we're buying Herrera and Fellaini then we surely can afford Herrera and Ozil. £17 million is hardly a colossal amount for a club our size. Herrera should be the absolute priority but choosing Fellaini over Ozil is madness.

Ozil is a good player, but we dont need another attacking midfielder. we're crying out for someone with a bit of prescence

 

[ryan_forlan]

what about Baines? :-(

[sajeev]

Meh!!! this is just copied from twitter!

 

[gaz1185]

Here comes PSG

WAIT... that's coming from Tancredi Palmeri

 

[ryan_forlan]

is that photoshopped? Cause the man looking over looks like arsene

Not Chinese. Definitely english. People are just disappointed that it ain't scottish

Really?

Ozil would improve our team a lot more than Fellaini because he's 10x the player.

 

[Sarni]

Ozil over Giggs would improve us more than Fellaini over Cleverley, simple.

 

[Feed Me]

He's going to Arsenal. Give it up lads.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Would be an amazing signing for Arsenal.

 

[Randall Flagg]

He's going to Arsenal. Give it up lads.

Yep.

I think its a load of bollox we didnt try for him

 

[Kevin]

Ozil over Giggs would improve us more than Fellaini over Cleverley, simple.

Why would he be up against Giggs? Ok then i say this:

Fellaini over Fletcher would improve us more than Ozil over Rooney/Kagawa/Nani.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Why would he be up against Giggs? Ok then i say this:

Fellaini over Fletcher would improve us more than Ozil over Rooney/Kagawa/Nani.

Now you're completely obscuring everything seeing as it's not Fletcher he'd be replacing, it's Cleverley and Anderson.

Stop WUMing.

 

[shaggy]

If Fergie and Gill were in charge Ozil would be in Carrington right now and Herrera would have signed weeks ago.

 

[Black Adder]

Ozil over Giggs would improve us more than Fellaini over Cleverley, simple.

Hope we buy Ozil so we can stick him next to Kagawa in the stands.

Then buy Fellaini so he can play in the hole and move Giggs to CM alongside Carrick.

Make it happen!

 

[KM]

If Fergie and Gill were in charge Ozil would be in Carrington right now and Herrera would have signed weeks ago.

feck off.

As if Fergie and Gill didn't miss on players.

 

[Sarni]

Why would he be up against Giggs? Ok then i say this:

Fellaini over Fletcher would improve us more than Ozil over Rooney/Kagawa/Nani.

Because he'd be replacing him in the line-up?

Kagawa doesn't even play for us, Nani is a winger and Rooney wants out. Giggs could quite conceivably be our only attacking midfielder in a year.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

If Fergie and Gill were in charge Ozil would be in Carrington right now and Herrera would have signed weeks ago.

The same Fergie and Gill who didnt make a move for him when he was available for a third of the price 3 years ago?

 

[Sarni]

feck off.

As if Fergie and Gill didn't miss on players.

We did try to get our targets in place for pre-season though, unless the selling club played hardball like van Persie and Berbatov deals.

 

[shaggy]

feck off.

As if Fergie and Gill didn't miss on players.

Ozil's available. Our only competition is Arsenal. Like feck Fergie would just let Wenger buy one of the best players in the world without trying to sign him and settle for Fellaini. He did it with Hazard, Lucas, Sanchez etc.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Good spot, he's onto something lads..

 

[Kevin]

If Fergie and Gill were in charge Ozil would be in Carrington right now and Herrera would have signed weeks ago.

I think Woodward and co have fecked over Moyes a bit, the manager panicks and wants a good midfielder in quickly, he asks Fergie's opinion (the one who was at the helm when we reportedly enquired about him twice in the past years) and here we are, bidding for Herrara four days before the window closes.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I'm not sure they'd have gone for Ozil but there's no way they'd have let this drag on until deadline day without signing their targets.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Apparently agreed with Arsenal

 

[Sarni]

The same Fergie and Gill who didnt make a move for him when he was available for a third of the price 3 years ago?

We apparently did according to some accounts, he wanted to go to Real though.

 

[Archie Leach]

John Cross saying it's done. Make of that what you will.

 

[vanthaman]

£46m, terms agreed, just medical to go according to pretty much all journos on twitter

 

[KM]

Ozil's available. Our only competition is Arsenal. Like feck Fergie would just let Wenger buy one of the best players in the world without trying to sign him and settle for Fellaini. He did it with Hazard, Lucas, Sanchez etc.

If we really wanted Hazard that badly, then we'd have paid 6m as agent fees. Same goes for Sneijder. We've refused to overpay for the players before.

Our planning has been awful but let's not rewrite history. Can't believe that after 3 years of continuous moaning about our transfer dealings on the caf, some people are rewriting history.

 

[KM]

Wow, looks like it really is done.

46m for Ozil. Nice one for the Gooners.

 

[Ekeke]

Apparently they bid £25 million for Di Maria but over £40 million for Ozil

Hows that work then
