Ozil has been useless at arsenal
He could never last a full 90 mins at Madrid. He was decent for Germany up until around 2012.
No way is he top 5 whatsoever
On top form then silva, toure, Fabregas and Rooney I'd have as better
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't play 90 mins?
All the more impressive that he got more assists in the league & CL combined than any other player in Europe then
Decent for Germany until 2012?
After which he was Germany's top scorer & assister in WC qualifying... and then won the World Cup itself
Rooney, maybe.
But Silva is just a watered-down version of Ozil. Fabregas isn't as talented as Ozil, less dynamic player. Toure is effective but clumsy & overweight.

RMC now also reporting that #MUFC & #PSG have come to an agreement. They mention a fee of around €62m. ADM & #PSG still talking contract.

Couldn't give two hoots about whether he won the WC. So did Lukas Podolski. He wasn't even that great in the WC.
Secondly of cause he had numerous assists. So would I if I had ronaldo and benzema to pass to. How's he doing now???
Di Maria had the second most assists in the league last season he was fantas....oh no he was shît last season.
To say silva is a washed down version of ozil is simply laughable. Silva is better but as usual a typical arsenal fan massively overating their own

Memphis,
He did play with Ronaldo & Benzema, but the Barca midfielders played with Messi & Villa and Ozil still got more assists over those 3 years. He also got the most assists in the Bundesliga in 2009-10 playing with Werder Bremen.
He did well at Arsenal for half a season, then had a bad second half. Last season he missed a lot of time injured but did well after he came back. Arsenal play much better with Ozil than without.
Silva is class, very similar game to Ozil, but slightly slower, less assists, less good set-pieces.

Januzaj scores, I always feel he has a lot of potential and technically is far more gifted then Di Maria.

His heart never seemed to be in it. So glad we are getting most of the fee back. Just a shame it didn't work. When we sign any player, even those that I don't think are good enough or think they do not suit, I want to be proven wrong. Di Maria just didn't have it in him. Started great, stats look good but actual play took a nose dive and we played better as a result of him being dropped.
