Mesut Ozil (Real Madrid)

prospect of signing him should be moved to a 'players who we have f***in no chance of signing thread'

Yep. No f***in way we'll be getting ozil.

does it say anywhere that Hodgson wants him?

he'll ne worth over 20 million after the way he played in world cup. :(Quality player though

You're wrong here mate.

Ozil had a fantastic world cup. One not so good game doesn't make a player bad.He's one heck of a talent.His through balls are absolute daggers. The lad works hard for the team. Maybe he was tired or what against Spain.

Ozil was one of the superstars of the WC. I would absolute love Watching Ozil playing in the Almighty Red shirt.

I've watched all of Germany's games so far. I know he has had a fantastic World Cup.

But if you just go back and watch the Spain game, where was he throughout the whole time? For a good 40 minutes or so, he was just content in strolling around even though Spain's players, who had the ball, were just a few metres away. Even Miroslav Klose was doing his defensive duties, I saw him chase a player to the left flank deep in the German's half.

Germany were practically playing with 9 men on the pitch because he wasn't bothered doing his defensive duties. When Germany were in possession of the ball, then he started to sprint to find space for others to pass the ball to him. He knew he had a duty to fulfil, to stop Xabi Alonso, Busquests from getting the ball to Xavi. But never did I see he did an interception, never did I see him even run towards the Spain's players to hassle them for the ball.

Tired? Not an excuse when you're fighting for a place in the world cup final is it?

oh shut up hes a top player that wasnt his job he aint a ball winner

Why are we talking about this lad he aint going to sign there is absolute no links, this should be in the general football thread.

People must be living in cuckoo lad if they think we are signing him, the links to Sharner shows what standard of player we are targetting.

Yep. Staff members should move this thread to the General football thread.

This lad has amazing skills. Could save a lot of money, too, doing stuff like this.

No one would have to worry that they will drop they're gum and wouldn't have to buy another one.

Why do people keeping bumping this thread we aint buying him and there is no links.

We ain't buying him and we don't have a snowball's chance in hell of doing so but we might as well discuss him as a fantastic player. Anyone else think he looks like Marty Feldman?

Here's a link to a story saying he has committed himself to Werder for 1 more season.  This means 2 things:

1.  We can all quit talking about him for at least the next 6 months
2.  It gives us a chance to sign him next summer, as we will (hopefully)be   back in the CL and should be able to compete financially for a free agent

Yes the best thing for us would be for him to stay at Werder, we get bought buy a wealthy, passionate owner at the end of the transfer window then we agree a pre contract agreement for next season after Christmas. I would also get a blowjob from Marissa Miller.

We should have made a move before the world cup. His value has most certainly quadrupled since.

We never had a manager before the world cup

Gas man Seriously though I reckon he was worth 5million before and now you'll need 20million at least with all the interest in him.

I heard before that Benitez wanted tto bid for him in January and that Werder were willing to accept £8million but Purslow woldnt give Rafa the cash

That's the Liverpool way (since 2007 at least)

Sorry for bumping this but if only we could sign him....

I read yesterday I think that he can be picked up for around 8 million. Contract negotiations with Werder lead to nothing, his contract is running out at the end of upcoming season.

£8M?!

That would be an absolute steal!

Yeah, not sure how much truth there is in it though, can't remember what site I read it, can't find it. I do know for sure it's true that contract negotiations have broken down with Werder and as a result they've had to significantly drop his price to avoid him leaving for free at the end of next season. So he will be cheap either way.

Clubs would be ready to pay 20mil for him. 8mil. is unreal. That's just my viewpoint on it though.

£8M?!

That would be an absolute steal!

We should go for this chap!
