Why would you want him? Lazy as feck. Never turned out for the big games at Arsenal.

Only thing is he was never like that at Real. Used to be a bit of a monster at times. Could have been down to Jose?
 
He's better than Mkhi and Mata in my opinion when he can be bothered. If he moves here, hopefully it's a new motivation for him and he can play like he always does for Germany

Due to Real being much better than the vast majority of opposition 95% of the time as much as anything.
 
I think Mourinho could bring him back up to world-class level here. At the moment he's wasted at Arsenal, having a crisis of confidence.
 
Mourinho knows how to get the best out of Ozil, so wouldn't be against the idea, especially on a free.
 
I don't see anything in this, if anything it's the desire of the player as opposed to something on our side. I don't think he's a significant enough upgrade on the likes of Mkhitaryan to warrant signing, even if it is for free. Griezmann makes a lot more sense if we're going for a player in that sort of position as he's more of a game changer. Years ago I would have been all over signing this man, but the ship has sailed and I don't really see the point of getting him at this stage.
 
I'd go for it personally, lets not forget that this guy is a fixture of a very successful German national team. I think his reputation has suffered because he's playing for a fundamentally flawed Arsenal team which is playing in front of an extremely volatile fan base who are viewing their players under the most critical gaze.

He's still a fantastic player and who Mourinho knows and likes and if I was in power at the club i'd be sliding into his whatsapps on the 1st of January offering the chance to escape the ongoing soap opera of the Emirates to come to Old Trafford.

On a free it would be a no-brainer really given his ability + good relationship with the manager, he's miles better than Mata so could comfortably take his role on the right side.
 
If he returns to his form under Mourinho at Real Madrid then sure but not the lazy git that always goes missing in the big games at Arsenal.
 
I can actually see this happening mainly because Mourinho's hatred for Wenger. He might see it as an opportunity to get one over him if Ozil can display the form he showed at Madrid. It makes sense because Ozil is more creative than someone like Mkhitaryan and a lot stronger than Mata. The great thing about it is that he is free so we would still be able to make another big money signing like Griezmann as well.
 
Get him on a free and sell immediately. Instant profit.
 
“He was the player who best knew my moves in front of goal... I'm angry about Özil leaving.” - Ronaldo

“Ozil would be the very last player who I would sell from Real Madrid, if it was up to me. I don't understand this. - Ramos

Yeah, Ozil. 27 out of his 81 assists to Ronaldo alone in 3 seasons. :lol:


A lot of those assists against Barca, Atletico, Dortmund - bit of a contradiction to the cliche that he doesn't perform in big games.
Anyway, I don't really see why United should need another 10, a real winger will definitely be the priority.
 
The fact that it would be a 'free transfer' doesn't matter.

Imagine if we were signing him for £60m, would you be happy? If the answer is no, then it shouldn't change depending on the transfer fee.

He goes missing when he thinks it doesn't matter. I don't want that sort of player at OT.

Özil assistes or scored 48% of all Arsenal goals against the Top 5 in the PL (since he is here). The problem is that we/Arsenal are shit against the top 5 PL clubs.

And for everyone who thinks he is lazy: watch his running statistics.

Hopefully it will not happen. Just don't play for United or Bayern..

The answer is absolutely no for £60m.

However for free it’s absolutely yes. The reason for it is he’s an upgrade/ same level of a position we don’t need to upgrade (Mki/ Mata) so money is better off being spent in another way. But for free...
 
I would take him. He'd rattle assists in with the movement of Lukaku, Martial and Rashford. He's playing in a disfunctional Arsenal side, no-one looks good there bar Sanchez who tries to do everything himself.
 
Ids he significantly better than Mhkitaryan or Mata at 10? His form at Arsenal suggests not, and certainly not on a consistent basis.

Likewise, if we also getting Grizeman, I don't think this is useful competition for places, as Ozil strikes me as a confidence player whose from wont react well to rotation.

In summery I dont think he makes us much better so not worth it.
 
Unless Mourinho thinks he can change his mentality I would predict it being an unremarkable move.

Then again, of course Mourinho would believe he can do better than Wenger.
 
Just not sure his cock is big enough to play upfront for us.
 
The "on a free" phrase is a bit bizarre given that he'll almost certainly be looking for a large signing on bonus and a huge salary.

I imagine he'll be looking for around £75m in wages/bonuses over a 5 year contract.

Not worth it in my opinion.
 
Your not at all - we are doing the same things with Mkhitarayn whilst mesut is a significantly better at doing that type of Job.

On a free or small transfer fee then yes.

He'll be commanding 250k on wages. No thank you. He'll be 30 soon and we don't really need him. Sanchez is more the person we need from Arsenal. And before everyone keeps saying that Mourinho go the best out of him, Ozil had much better players at Real with a potent goal scorer like CR7 in front of him. He wouldn't thrive in the current Mourinho system. And we also have Mhiki and Mata
 
No thanks. If we wanted to give a free role to someone in the team where that player can ignore all defensive work, I'd rather give it to someone like Martial or Rashford. This guy is the epitome of a luxury footballer.
 
He's a fantastic player when playing in a fully functional team. I'd take him.
