Yes please, class above Mata and all the others. He just needs a coach to motivate him. We have one
Mesut Ozil on a free? | Orn: Ozil signs new contract worth 350k

If January is the target, would Arsenal consider an exchange with Mata? Because we all know how often straight swaps happen in football 
Are they your friends too?So he told his friends he wants to come I hear.
Have always maintained I don't want him because he's a lazy asshole. But seeing as Mkhitaryan is as useless as a snooze button on a smoke alarm, I think I'd probably welcome Ozil if we were to sign him. He can at least consistently create chances.
He's an enigma that's for sure. As long as the fans accepted him for what he is then it could be a master stroke by Jose, a Cantona-esque signing that triggers a new era. In my opinion when you sign a player like this you build the team around him, don't expect or want him to change his game to accommodate the way we play.
We lack creativity in that third quarter of the pitch and unless Micky can well and truly step up in the next 8 to 10 weeks then it could be him out and Ozil in come January.

I wish!
Depressingly he's miles better than Mkhitaryan so I'd be up for him coming here.
Not convinced by this transfer. He is an upgrade on Mata and definitely better than mkhitaryan. He would be ideal in the no.10 position once Pogba, Fellaini, Bailly etc. are all back. I do worry that he might at times get found out in big games with our poor wingers and average fall backs.
I'd rather take Sanchez plus another box-to-box midfielder, then play with three forwards to get the most out of Martial/Rashford.
The current 4-2-3-1 experiment came about because Mkhitaryan wasn't good enough on the wing. But now he's shown not to be good enough in the middle either. We shouldn't be looking to buy like for like, just because an upgrade is available. I really hope Mourinho goes back to his original strategy of 4-3-3 to get the best out of Pogba and the rest of the attackers. No more square pegs in round holes for the sake of one (admittedly brilliant) player.
And all of this is not to mention that Sanchez's balls are even bigger than Ozil's eyes. That's the personality profile we should be aiming for. No more wallflowers, please.

Anyone reliable reporting this?
He also has 1 assist less than Fabregas in 100 fewer games.
John Cross who is apparently reliable with Arsenal news.
Wenger on Özil Transfer Speculation:
‘When you see Mesut on the football pitch like he is today, enjoying his game like he is today, it’s difficult to believe these kind of things. ‘He was superb. Agile, quick, intelligent. Always at the service of the team with his quality of his passing and when he is at that level, he is an exceptional football player.’

yes please...big owl eyes can create chances even while sleeping..him pogba and matic and that's chances galore for Lukaku and griezmann with martial/rashford..

That’s Wengerspeak for Özil being as good as ours.
We must do everything we can to make it happen. Miles better than Mkhitaryan (aka Kagawa 2.0) and Mata's current form is truly shocking.
Can’t quite believe that a bunch of folk don’t want him. He’s one of the bests creators in the league, leagues ahead of Mkhi and Mata in quality and played his best football under Jose. Given that he’ll also come relatively cheap, I’d take him in a heartbeat. Our team is cryin our for people that’ll create chances and he does that by the bucketload.
Hopefully he can play out his contract doing what he's paid to do and then join United on a free in July. A massive transfer squabble in the middle of the season won't be good for anyone except the tabloids.
Looks like he's back in the Arsenal team and playing well. Well, he needs to since it's a World Cup year. Probably he has agreed an extension with them or something?
There are two ways to interpret that.
Take him in a heartbeat, set position, decent pace, great touch, great vision, good passing and great intelligence. Not even a debate for me when a good player is available in last year of contract or for a free. Him and Sanchez would be no brainers actually - I don't think either will happen though.
Is it wrong to suggest that Ozil is playing well moreso because he knows he's coming here in Jan and it's all sorted?
Yea Ozil true fire among players in PL thats why, actually its pointless even discussing.
BS stats, as assist weren't recorded properly until recently (and there are still questions regarding its definition). Bergkamp has more than 100 assists in EPL alone, and I'm sure Scholes and Zidane provided more than 100 assists combined
If United could get him for free or very low fees in January, that would be very good for the team I think. Strengthen the team and weaken the rival team at the same time. Such a good playmaker. Mata is a good player and a gent, but Ozil is an improvement. Miki for all his good stats so far, his overall game seems to regress bit by bit, and in some instances couldn't even hold the ball, or pass the ball even when the chances presented itself.
What?
Assists were recorded in 2003 or there abouts.
You seem to know assists stats despite them not being recorded. What's your secret?
Scholes' number is recorded on this site.
I guess they did it retrospectively, but Bergkamp's assist record was mentioned here when opta (I think it was them) compared De Bruyne's numbers with others.

Amazing job by @Mrs Smoker has Scholes on 98 assists
That's 192 (94 + 98) without Zidane already, and Bergkamp's tally is just for the EPL, so his club record would be higher.
I'm sorry what?
MEN says we have not shown interest in Ozil, and the player has not told his team-mates he's leaving for OT
Barca, Real or United? If the lack of Jose interest is true, he probably won't move at all, then. I don't see him as a Chelsea or Tottenham player, and City don't need him.
I was just thinking about why I wouldn’t really want him.
The answer was “this feckin place”.
I just can’t bare the thought of the agenda posting once he’s no longer our shiny new toy and he starts putting in the odd abject performance.
He’s pretty much the text book build of a player that will cause pages and pages of tedious circular bullshit arguments on here.

Why would Real Madrid wish to have him back, and why would Barca wish to have a Madrid castoff??
So is this just another classic case of a player creating links for himself to United during a contract renewal with his present club?
Yes. Looks like it.
People who don't want him at United must be mental. The guy oozes class when he's on form and I'm sure Mourinho would get that form out of him better than anyone.
If that's all he wants then surely he'll be staying.
That's what I said.
