Not really. Alli is more like a second striker and Ozil is a proper no. 10. We need more creative players in our team. Right now Pogba is the only one who can make a pass to cut the defence.
Agreed. Same reason I'm not crazy about Griezmann.
 
Simply put the best I've ever seen him play for Arsenal today, on this form yes please
 
No thanks. He is still shit

Considering we've ideally got two #10 spots to fill (both Mata and Mkhi should go imo) old bug-eyes wouldn't be half bad for free in the summer or heavily discounted in January.

More to spend for the RW and second playmaker.

A free transfer doesn't mean a carte blanche for getting any player. Ozil is too inconsistent for such an important position.

That is why I wrote more money for our second playmaker. Ozil would rotate and not be first choice.

We need someone better as our main outlet.
 
So shit that he is outperforming our number 10 by a distance
Doesn't make him good or the right player to get... Also how exactly is he outperforming him? Not like Ozil has done much this season. He's old but even if he was a few years younger, we should move away from that type of player altogether. The players who just disappear for big games, the not very mobile players who do things slowly but are "neat and tidy" on the ball and can get decent assist numbers now and then, but in general, lack other qualities that make them risks to play in some cases and can only play as a 10. Just go back to proper wingers, playmakers in midfield, and proper strikers who can do it all. Pure #10's are just annoying as they are so system reliant.

Oh look another fan that fancies himself as a manager.

Right because this isn't a forum where we give our opinions. Also please don't use the "you aren't a manager therefore your opinion is invalid" argument. We all know plenty of managers are complete idiots despite getting those jobs.

Your 'opinion' shows a complete lack of awareness (that's my OPINION so don't get your panties in a twist). The manager we have plays with a no.10 who is central to his counter attacking philosophy. Guardiola plays with two ball carriers in midfield as a foundation for his possesion based philosophy.

I guarantee any complete idiot manager would wipe the floor with you if you were a manager. Not to mention that our manager is one of the best in the world, but you are acting as if he is a nobody.

There are plenty of ways to criticize the manager intelligently, all you've done is say that his approach to the game is wrong and that we should go back to the good 'ole 4-4-2 (as if you purposely went with the most cliche formation).
 
Best player on the park today for me.

That kind of talent on a free, considering the transfer prices today we’d be foolish not to be in for him. His career best form being with Mourinho is just all the more reason.

What the feck where did you get that from :lol:
I said we should do away with players like ozil (so mata or mkhitaryan for his personality and how inconsistent he is or consistently invisible in big games). Likes of david silva/isco and dynamic players on the ball are different. Even #10's like griezmann way different. But a classic #10 like Ozil or Mata just isnt what our team needs at the moment. What we need, since we have Pogba in the side, is a 4-3-3 type so that we can also push our main wide players like Martial further up the pitch where they can do damage and get another playmaker in next to Pogba but who can also play as a midfielder (like de bruyne/silva for city, or isco/modric for real madrid, or thiago for bayern).

Anyway yeah I do think Mourinhos approach is wrong. Hes excellent defensively but his attacking approach tends to be getting in world class players to do their thing, which leads to a lot of clueless displays against good defences or over reliance on one player (pogba).
 
Excellent today tbf. Not that one game is gonna change people's opinions either way.
 
How can anyone say he won't improve us is beyond. We either overrate some of our players or underrate those of the rivals.
 
would be an incredible upgrade on mkhi

if we could pull a double swoop for him and alexis :drool:
 
He will be a real good upgrade if he ended here and we also need to give Sanchez a try at least ban him from joining City, my God they going to be unstoppable more than they even are.
