Great post:lol:
 
That gif has to be a hall of fame gif - I am trying not to laugh out loud in the office. Just brilliant.

Get of CRs back. If he is a WUM someone would have already found his past wum'ery posts showing him being one. Sounds like he is just relaying what he got told.

More on topic - I think even if we do sign him - it's not going to be the solution most have been so adamant for us to fix our midfield. He will be a good signing, it will show we are willing to spend but, as far as our midfield weakness I don't think he'll do anything major to help.

Our midfield deficiency is in retaining the ball, creating and often winning the ball against strong oppositions such as Barca, Bayern, Chelsea and even Arsenal that move the ball well. Ozil won't be useful there.

For as much as people hate Berbatov for being good against "easy" teams - Ozil might be most useful there - in opening up defenses that sit back, in being a creative force and good on the counter. Just don't see him doing that great against big teams where we'll need whoever is playing the "hole" player to also be working back and getting the ball back.

Hope so. He's looked lightening quick at times for United.

When he's on top of his game he's almost unplayable. It's just that we've only seen him at his very best so rarely.

Unplayable? Cant agree with that. Hes been good at times, very good infact, but never outstanding. Those times have been few and far between.

Pure speculation but I think his biggest problem is his conditioning. When he was at Gremio/Porto he was at an age where natural fitness is enough. Since he's got older and had to start really working on his conditioning he's struggled with lasting the pace and often looks to be carrying too much timber.

Not sure if it is conditioning or not. Hes only 22 - he shouldnt be struggling with conditioning.

I think its the fact he lost the extra yard of pace he had at Porto. He has had to change his game do adapt. Or maybe Fergie made him change his game becasue of that.
 
Ozil at Manchester Airport is all over Twitter now too - CR mate, when you're talking to your daughter at the very least you can tell her she's created an internet shitstorm :lol:

In his first year when he came in, he was coming off the leg break and not sure how fit he got going into the season.

In 2008 - he didn't get a break - went to the Olympics and came straight back.

In 2009 - it seemed like he was finally on his way to start playing full games without tailing off at the end. I remember when he was't doing that great early in the season and he asked to play for the reserves - he did well in the game and found himself back in the first team. Then he played like 4-5 games straight in less than 2 weeks - most of them completing the 90 minutes. The last of those games was when he played at Fulham and he just didn't seem to have it in that game but, was unavoidable due to Carrick and Fletch playing as defenders.

He definitely seemed to be putting in the work to play full games at the pace he plays. Hopefully when he comes back, he'll have the desire/attitude where he left off.

Disagree about his problems being down to losing a yard of pace. In the games when he's been at his best (or "very good", as you say) he's been plenty quick enough to do the opposition damage. His main problems at United have been misplaced passes, lack of concentration and a tendency to fade dramatically after half time.

Impossible to know if a fractured fibula has turned him from someone who was lightening quick to someone who is merely "just quick enough" but I would say that's extremely unlikely. As leg fractures go, it's relatively minor.

(To JS/07/M/378) This Marble Monumeht Is Erected by the State)

He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be
One against whom there was no official complaint,
And all the reports on his conduct agree
That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint
For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.
Except for the War till the day he retired
He worked in a factory and never got fired,
But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views,
For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
And our Social Psychology workers found
That he was Popular with his mates and liked to drink.
The Press are convinced that he bought a Paper every day
And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured
And his Health-card shows he was once in a hospital but left it cured,
Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Installment Plan
And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,
A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
Our researchers into Public Opinion are content
That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;
When there was peace he was for peace when there was war he went.
He was married and and added five children to the population,
Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation,
And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education.
Was he free? Was he Happy? The question is absurd:
Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.
 
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and transfers worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that Fergie would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
When transfers were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paiiiiiid
No song unsung no wine untasted

But the Glazers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear our transfers apart
As they turn our dream to shame

Oezil slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in that strike
But he was gone when autumn came

But still I dream he'll come to me
We will live the years together
But there are dreams that can not be
There are transfers we can not value
I had a dream my transfers would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems

Now the Glazers have killed
the dream i dream

Maybe Mr Ogden just doesn't know that David Gill snuck back on a plane and off to Manchester while leaving his clone back in Houston.
 
note the source :)

Mr Ogden is a twat, had good news the other night that was embargoed and it turned out to be Rio's injury which was released about 4-5 hours before.
 
With the possibility that Gill is still in the US - does that mean no one from United could still be working on the deal? We are done in North America on Friday - so while details are being hammered out, does Gill have to be there? Conference calls etc don't work?
