Edin, jokes aside, it could actually be an issue.

I think a lot will depend on how Arsenal use him and how they set up tactically.

It doesn't surprise me he was always knackered playing for Mourinho.

You tell me who is even close to becoming as good as him then? Will Lamela, he has the best chance, but no, Paulinho no, Eriksen no, Sandro no. Who else do you want me to name?

Ozil's only flaw is probably that he's not really the greatest in a physical game to me. That's the big problem especially now he is playing in the PL.

Kaboul, Lloris, Lamela wont for a long time if ever.

Mourinho likes his AM's doing a lot of running and hustling back though DTKF? Under Wenger the players dont appear to put in the same work collapsing when they dont have the ball, which is a flaw of theirs, but may help Ozil?

But yeh, Lloris and Kab could easily be up there given a full season.

Lamela given 4/5 he might do. One of the most exciting players in the world last season though. But (cliche) inconsistent.

Despite the rave reviews, I haven't really seen much of Eriksen myself, but at 21 surely he has time to develop and prove his worth. Don't trust the 'new Laudrup' label though; 'new XYZs' rarely live up to the billing.

I have never seen Erisken play football

Thoughts?

It's a weird one. I did actually think at times that Ozil was pretty lazy. But a counter attacking style even when attacking can be very tiring. But yeah Mourinho does like hardworking players.

Probably why he's preferred Ozil to Mata as Mata is pretty lazy as well.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. It's difficult to know whether his stamina just isn't that great or if it was down to Mourinho's tactics, or a combination.

Combo probs

I hope Real get imprisoned, Henrik

Their title challenge will be over next weekend, as they fall three points behind us.

"He is a player that is completely underrated by the media,”

"Just because he does not speak out."

“He always does what he’s asked. He is dominant in the air, quick and knows how to use his feet.

“There are few players that can read the game like him – it’s difficult to find a player like him around nowadays.”

Guess who the quotes are about?

Titus Bramble

Eriksen isn't as good as what people made out. I am a fan on the Eredivise but his strongest season was when he became 19 and everyone thought he was going to be right up there with the big boys. He's a good and talented little fella but he won't be what people make out. I think they have waited too long on him though. If he moved when he was 19, he could have had a greater chance of becoming a greater player, but the standards don't really get much bigger over in Holland, a lot of players are used to prove themselves in that league, which is precisely why I like it.

RAUL ALBIOL.

Özil

Albiol, the defender that Napoli oh so desperately needed, if they didn't have him, they were screwed. Or they would have been.

Raul Brambiol.

Raul Brambiol.

Franco Brambesi

I just don't think my name has the same sort of touch as what DTKF's does.

If i may address the Ozil stamina issue - I think he will be working slightly less at Arsenal. But the game on sunday showed that we know how to work our erses off and stifle a team like we did with Spurs.

The advanced players will not be allowed to ease off if Flamini starts regularly...he was barking at everyone within 10 seconds of coming on

LRF, Raul Brambiol just rolls off the tongue doesn't it?

Henrik, nah we need bring his old cb partner Boumsong back in for that one.

Brambiol and Boumbesi.

They were my favourite cb partnership of all time.
