To be perfectly honest if he gets to the stage where he can sign on a free, he will not come to Utd. He has already said he likes Spain and for free every top team in Europe will be in for him. If we are really astute we'll wait till the last few days of August (if no-one else does te same) and buy him for < £10m and loan him back to Bremen for the year. That way everyone wins.

I think most clubs are doing that right now.

With his girlfriend in Spain, pics are from the weekend I think:

But we do know that he was making out with his girlfriend while he was on vacation in Spain. So we've got that goin for us, which is nice.
 
Ozil who? Nice pair of lungs. He needs to be at United just for that pair.

X42.. where are you on this?
 
Have we banned Cheltenham Red yet for saying that his daughter saw Ozil at the airport?

:nono::nono: We get pissed off when players try & get other players a yellow (card). So I dont think its appropriate to start doing that here. If CR thinks his daughter saw him in manchester airport, I take no offence to it. Transfer threads are full of possible sightings, UFOs or otherwise; rumours etc.

Focus on the pair McShark and have pleasant dreams.

The two had a gentlemens' agreement.
 

"Ozil insists a move before the end of his contract will not happen unless Werder insist on selling him.

He added: 'I am a friend of honesty. Many people extend their contracts long-term for better conditions, but two weeks later, they want to leave.

'I have never done that but have rather always respected my contract and been happy to fulfil it. 'Why should now be any different?"





Nothing new.... he s just forcing Werder to make a choice, either offer him an improved contract or else sell him at a decent price
 
This isn't happening guys, the guy is basically open to anyone of the top two clubs in Spain or England and the fact is no one has put in a bid. We've had countless interviews going around in circle basically stating "I am under a contract with Bremen and if someone doesn't come to buy me I'd honor the contract."
There is nothing on our part that suggest we might be interested in him.

I agree with this, mostly the part about us having no interest in the player at all.

I get the impression that SAF is thinking of his legacy and wants to create one last team of youngsters that have been produced through the academy. 2 of these players play in a similar role to Ozil and his signing would limit their appearances. For this reason alone I don't think he is even on our radar.
 
'For now, my situation for the next 12 months is clear. Only the facts count and the fact is, I am under contract with Werder. I cannot know what comes after that.'

I can't find any snub indication :rolleyes:

He/or his agent was also quoted the other day as saying there had been no bids for him. So again, papers talking shite, huge suprise.

Who are the 2 players? I'm guessing Cleverly is one.
 

Yes Gibbo. I am not saying that either has the capacity to be as good as Ozil and that they play exactly the same role but both Gibson and Cleverley are potentially goal scoring midfielders from the centre. SAF clearly thinks both have a future in the first team and Ozil would limit their appearances and their development.

There is no point telling me the 101 reasons why Ozil is a better player than either, I will say that Gibson is a far better player than many give him credit though.
 
They call themselves a newspaper?

Ozil's United dream - Manchester Evening News
Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to make Mesut Ozil’s dream come true.

The Manchester United boss, having arrived back from the club’s tour of North America, will sit down with chief executive David Gill this week to finalise his transfer plans.

And he does so with Germany’s World Cup midfielder admitting he wants to play for United or Chelsea.

“There are four or five clubs in Europe that you would have to say as a player would be a dream to play for,” said the Werder Bremen star. “United and Chelsea are very much two of them.

“When you are looking at moving clubs, it’s impossible not to pay attention to United and Chelsea. I am a winner and, when I am looking for a new club, I simply look at where I can be the most successful and where I can win the most trophies.

“If you look at the recent history of United and Chelsea then it’s clear that a player can be very successful there.”

Ozil has said he wants to stay at Werder until his contract expires at the end of this season, but the German club are keen to cash in now, fearing they will lose him for nothing, and are preparing themselves for an official bid from United.

Gill has made it clear money is available for a top-class signing and Ozil, who would cost around £12m, fits the bill perfectly. And the Reds’ chief is expecting plenty of movement in the transfer market before the window shuts at the end of the month.

“With the World Cup being on, not a lot happened in June, but I think there will be more movement in August as clubs look at their squads, and I think there will be some trimming because of the squad limits being introduced,” said Gill.

“We have to name at least eight ‘home-grown’ players in a squad of 25 by September 1. It’s something we need to consider from now on when we’re looking at new players to see how they will affect the squad balance.”

Meanwhile, reports in Spain claim United could resurrect their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra after Sami Khedira’s move to the Bernabeu. The player is available for around £20m.

What do you think? Have your say.
:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Sky bet odds for mezut ozil’s next club:-

manchester united – 1/3

real madrid – 7/2

manchester city – 10/1

chelsea – 12/1

arsenal – 12/1

At least after 2500 entries, we have established that Ozil's gf has a nice pair. Everything else is pure speculation.
