Just been reading a few things since the game against Swansea, I didn't go but apparently Ozil went ballistic at some of the boys after the swans scored their 2nd goal. Never imagined he'd do that.

Also read that only two players ran further than Walcott, anyone guess who they were?

Lastly we talk of big money transfers and spending money, what do you imagine Iwobi and Bellerin would have cost us had we had to buy them.

Read to that Coquelin made a big difference when he came on too.

It would be nice to hear we've signed up Bellerin, Ozil and Sanchez soon.

Finally, sorry day off and bored, this one for Steve, Wenger has said it's down to the board to pick his successor, not him.

But who do you think Simieone will pick Steve. 😂😂

Imagine him on the touch line at the Emirates, have to say I'd love it.

Sanchez and Ozil as the two players who ran further?

Bellerin and Cazorla 62, bet you didn't expect that. 😀.

Agree0 Disagree0

Caz definitely surprised me Red Belerin not so much, I've read many times that Mesut usually covers more ground than anyone else which on the face of is difficult to see how but if you watch a replay of a game some time and just concentrate of Mesut its incredible the work rate he puts in.

Agree0 Disagree0

A lot of the fans after the game where saying what a great game Ozil had 62, he is just quality.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the fact that no one has mentioned his brilliant finish on this page speaks volumes about Mesut Red, Any other player and everyone would have been full how great it was, but Ozil? Well it's just its just prety run of the mill Ozil stuff really wasn't it :-)

Hopefully he signs a new deal soon it meant to be close to completion from what I read.

I say whack £250,000 contracts infront of Ozil and Sanhez becuse its what City and Real would offer them.
Its a lot of money but end of the day it would cost us £100m to replace the pair or them.

It's a lot more fun when everyone agrees that Ozil is amazing and stops pretending he's not, like that time when pundits and fans kept calling him lazy and disinterested and I got stick for saying if you want someone who runs around a lot then go and watch Scotty Parker in the Championship. The irony is, like G62 states, Ozil does run around alot, just with a laid back body language.

Also for large parts of his early arsenal career he was inexplicably being played on the left. Buy the world's best number 10 and put him in a position where he appears quite ineffectual.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - worlds best No10..hmmm, i think barca and real madrid fans may disagree eden mate..

18 Oct 2016 17:16:54
Well. what would they know? :)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - neither of those teams has a top class no 10 anyway. None of Messi, Suarez or Neymar Jr. is a 10, neither of Ronaldo or Bale is a 10 either. So I am unsure what they have to do with anything. Ozil is top class, ahead of even David Silva, who is a 10.}

Eden Ozil played on the left often for Real and Germany. The difference for arsenal today is he has realised he has a job to to now when we don't have the ball, when he first came he was very lazy.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - I disagree, even the stats showed he was covering large distances, he was just not getting the ball in the right areas when he first came. Oh and he very rarely played on the left for Madrid, they had Ronaldo there mate. He is still beloved by Madrid fans for the way he ran games from the centre.}

Ed 01 the first season for us he didn't sprint back to defend or get In position, he would stroll and let players play past him easily, which he improved on greatly. I watched madrid quite a bit and he often played left wing and ronaldo was striker he did play central for real and germany but also depending on personel played left as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I never said he sprinted back, I said he was not lazy. As for watching Madrid quite a bit, I will take the word of people who work at the club over you, who always said he very rarely played on the left as Ronaldo hated playing central and it became an issue him being asked to play there.}

18 Oct 2016 19:22:22
thats why i was meaning playing him on the left did him a disservice and made him appear like he wasnt putting effort in. he doesn't have the pace to track back with pacy wingers and full backs.

Agree0 Disagree0

no mate but got a good bet on Leics to go down
14-1.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - im afraid you have lost that one welsh, sunderland, hull and a an other for me but not the foxes...next time just find a grid to dispose of your spare cash mate.. :)

17 Oct 2016 19:15:12
Welsh you don't know how relieved all the Leicester fans are after that revelation.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - love it steve..
