Fabregas and cech to arsenal in swap deal for ozil! WTS

NO GO. ozil is not leaving Arsenal, unless Bayern or Barcelona come with some insane offer.

i know many don't rate him, but for the games i have seen with him and without him, even if he adds nothing but composure, he adds it well in the last mins of the game, and as noted many times, we need to win a game or make a play and the times out, many don't realise the player who picks it up is Ozil.

he may not be a physical specimen or run around with boundless energy.

many don't realise how berg was similar, obviously he is a legend, but i think ozil has the potential to be like him or if not atleast half of him, and ill take those odds anyday.

To be honest - if the strikers all had better conversion rates MOs stats for assists would be monster. FRom memory I think TW has missed about 4 sitters since he came back and even AS has wasted a few- OG has had a couple of sitters and a host of half chances.

He is also fantastic at just always being there for players to unload the ball to when they are under pressure.

For me he is head and shoulders above the host of 'good' players we are used to.

id snap there hands off. ozil will never be bergie guys i'm sorry.

Fabregas though? No thanks.

26 Mar 2015 18:56:43
No thanks, and please stop comparing every player to the invinvibles.

Great reply Hood, even if this team went next season unbeaten plus won the champions league some people would say ah but the 2004 side had harder opposition and would have scored more goals won by more points bla bla bla that was then this is now.
Brilliant team brilliant players brilliant memories but its time to move on.

{Ed025's Note - no its not G62...still the best team i have ever seen mate, and at 56 i have seen lots..from brazil in 1970 to liverpool in the 80,s...and they still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up..

Derby - no - one will ever be berg, doubt if anyone will ever fill Thierry Henrys boots, and there was only ever one Ian wright.

Totally agree Ed watching them now takes me back to an unbelievable place that you only ever truly appreciate when its no longer there but we can't keep comparing every LB to Ashley Cole or every strinke to Henry that's just riduluose.
Embrace the wonderful memories by all means but to keep saying this that or the other player ain't so and so is unrealistic.

{Ed025's Note - fun though mate.. :)

What ever turns you on I guess Eduardo mate :-) I'm 52 and to keep looking in the mirror and remembering when my hair was thicker the lines didn't exist is nice occasionally but I wouldn't want to spend every day living in the past no matter how good the memories were of telling my mum if I'm not in bed by 2.30am I'll be home, I doubt I'll ever know times as good as those again but I'm still hopeful of some very good one ahead.
Mind you i'm still hoping to win the lottery too :-(

{Ed025's Note - good luck with that mate....im looking younger every day, and have hair like arteta and not a wrinkle in sight!...its just that my eyes are going mate.. :)

26 Mar 2015 21:29:47
Sadly Ed I have the hair of Bobby Charlton the wrinkles of the Churchill dog and worst of all 20/20 vision :-(

56 and 52? Not talking to you old fogies anymore!

{Ed002's Note - Counts me out - I am older than both.}

27 Mar 2015 08:14:51
Ed 002? Well that explains why you're such a seething old man ;) but all seriousness well done for being so Internet savvy, it can't be easy for someone of you're age

{Ed002's Note - It can indeed be difficult.}

27 Mar 2015 08:58:58
Ed002 I think your late 30s its just us that's driven you to feel much older

{Ed002's Note - {Ed002's Note - I am much, much older than that Gunner62.}

change website name to fossil rumours.

Let's lok at the evidence here, you're past mid 50's, you hate arsenal rumours and your coy as they get, I reckon you're Arsène wenger

26 Mar 2015 07:47:38
Alex Song available again in the summer, might be a good solution to DM cover that doesn't obstruct Le Coqs progress? Better than anything we have already and although not spyder of course its upgrade without overload

26 Mar 2015 14:43:07
I would want a wenger guarentee of drumming defensive disciple with him, sure he'll do it for big sam, but will he be as defensively resolute for us?
