Don't know probably.. Didn't know he said anything about rumours?
Yeah that story is week or so old now. After it - his coach said something of wanting to keep him as they are in the CL play off (to get to the group stages) and there have been no offers though he only has a year left on his contract.
It wasn't a dive. Watch the replays.
His first touch is poor, behind his body. He is leaning back to try and recover the ball, this put him off balance. Ramos then in his challenge DID make contact with Ozil's right leg, the right leg clipped his left leg and he tripped and went down.
If Ozil's first touch is good and he still has a chance to get a shot off it's a penalty. Since he botched it, lost possession of the ball and they clattered into each other, it isn't a penalty.
Did he look for a penalty after being barged into and going down? Yes. Was it a penalty? No. Sometimes I think people have become so inundated by diving that anything they see that is not a blatantly obvious foul is a "dive".
It doesn't take much contact to bring someone down who is running and off balance.
Come on, S.A.F., make us c*m.
Spot on.
No quotes, not even the obligatory 'sources', just a rehashed line from Ozil about us and the chavs. Nothing story, zip your pants back up.
They're staying undone, but I'll keep the lube to one side 'til we get some quotes.
This transfer is happening lads, it has to. The muppet in me can feel it.
Let's not be too serious on the quotes, but face it... In reality if this lad does not consider to extend his contract... Le'Arse/Renties and even us would go for the lad for sure, the cut price might even be 20m but as most of this BS is just speculation who knows how much he'd go for... Same to Simon Kjaer who moved for just 12m when Palermo wanted not less than 15m for him.
Let's just monitor the situation, I"m sure SAF rates this lad and if he's around 18m or something... that is certainly good value in the market and I"m sure we'd go for a bid as he fits the bill PERFECTLY.

Well looking at this in a logical point of view (which I know is frowned upon here but bare with me)
If SAF was interested in Sneijder then he seemingly in for a AM..
If he was apparently ready to pay 29 Million on a 26/27 yo I don't see why he would be against spending a similar amount on a player who is 4/5 years younger..
SAF was interested in Ozil before he signed for Werder Bremen but came in with a bid too late as Ozil had already agreed to join them.. So SAF probably is still interested..
Most big clubs IMO are not in need of a AM probably Chelsea and Barca incase Cesc doesn't work out.. or Arsenal if it does.. Real have decided to keep Canales and already have Kaka, Van Der Vaart & Guti.. Also they seem to be in the market for a Box to Box rather than a AM..
So If I get out my Essien Calculator.. By my calculations we should be interested in an AM and most probably even Ozil..

As opposed to what?
You must have picked up a knock-off. A genuine Essien Calculator TM would give you the date of signing, the squad number and dressing room spot, not to mention mundanities like transfer fee, add-on bonuses, wages and contract length.
Hilarious....one dream dies... another fantasy appears, as if by magic
feck! I have been cheated..
Yeah. Its as if the press are making stuff up in a bid to get more readers. Of course we know that wouldn't happen.
Welcome to the world of a transfer muppet
I hope United get him. Class player.
Fergie also says no truth in #MUFC trying to sign Ozil

No quotes there though. Could easily be the same as the Sneijder article, with the title including Sir Alex saying he doesnt need him. When he doesnt say that at all. Just that he isnt trying to buy him.
That's freaking awesome.

Zlatan, what you can do with an orange, Ozil can do with a chewing gum.
Your calculations are based on false assumptions.
"I don't know where those reports about Sneijder came from," Ferguson told the Mail on Sunday. "How can anybody turn me down when I haven't even made a bid?"

Send that video to S.A.F., quick!
TBF , from those statements, it only looks as though we haven't made a formal bid for Sneijder. As I suspected, the numbers floating around have been cooked by journos.
There is nothing to suggest we didn't inquire about Sneijder. That seems the most likely chain of events - we inquire about Sneijder, Moratti goes to the press and shoots his mouth off as a negotiating tactic, Sneijder hears about it and either doesn't want to leave Inter where he is undoubtedly the star man or wants to appease his GF in case she starts to suspect she'll have to leave Milan.

How some people forget...
There ya go then
Pointless from their point of view, they're not a rich club and cashing in on him now would certainly make much more sense than letting him go for nothing next year. They would probably receive around £20m which in Germany would allow them to bring two or three new players on long-term deals.
Is it time to say, 'I stay' yet?
Another thread comes to an end.
Shame. I think it's time for our secret transfer weapon when all else fails, unleash the Neville upon him
So he'll be a free transfer next summer? christ that should be fun!
I'm sure United would prefer him to see out his contract and sign for free next year. More so than our richer rivals who might rather secure his services now, even for a significant fee.
Taking advantage of Bosman is the sensible thing to do. Akinfeev and Ozil next year for free would be fantastic value...
