Arsenal hadn't won anything for nine years before Ozil joined. They then won three FA Cups in the following four years. Coincidence?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since we'd already won 4 before he arrived and have also won one with him kicked out of the team, umm yeah, I'd say it was coincidence.

Don’t think you can call either a flop but I do feel both could/could’ve been much better with more effort.

Both play in 2nd gear and with Pogba especially you feel he has another few gears to go to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No offence but Pogba has ben a flop.

He came here with this fanfare about being a magnificent player etc and while I dont watch united the amount you do I have yet to see him do it on the pitch.
Ozil has been a flop as well in the sense that hes cr@p

Did Pepe really cost £72m?

That’s mental

Nah Ozil. 2 years longer and even Pogba's weak performances in that time. Have shown at least the will to win the game. For instance I can't say I've ever seen him just blatantly let the opposition run past him unchallenged (he might have, just saying I've never seen it).

Yes I'm biased but as the only PL player I've seen, be as lazy/vanishing as he is, for as long as he has been, whilst being paid as much money as he gets. Well that makes Ozil hands down the biggest PL flop of all time for me. Over 150 million quid for a player who didn't/doesn't even care if he wins a game or not and spent 5 years proving it. More money than that if fact, because that's just the dumb 5 year contract wages + fee.

Who Pogba? Letting players run off him is the biggest flaw in his game!

Ozil was never ‘great’ for Arsenal

He could be with some lack of effort

It's a close one but it has to be Ozil for conning us out of that contract and somehow staying here for 8 years.

Well I know he only turned up when he fancied. But I also remember that he put a good show for a couple of months before his contract extension.

Harry Maguire
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flop or overrated? Or both?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually think he’s a decent enough player but doesn’t suit many systems and is just in a horrific run of form. ridiculous amount paid for him - he’s a £30m player.

Feel a bit sorry for pogba, hes been touted as a top central midfielder and he's just not disciplined enough to be that player. He's always been at his best when he had the excellent midfielders around him, Pirlo etc.

He's obviously a great player but just not the kind of player to command a midfield like Keane or Alonso for example.

Further forward, less responsibility to worry about the space behind him, that's where he'd thrive, he's brilliant naturally in the moment if you get me.

it was actually, apart from a couple of good games in 2015 he contributed next to nothing to our FA cup wins.

No I just decided to be equally childish with my response to your kiddy response to the article question, silly.

Yeah agreed. Current form aside he's been doing exactly what he's always done. It's a well worn cliché, but the transfer fee isn't his fault.

Agree with this really - he is more a victim of the shiiiiitshow around him. It’s a bit worrying how unversatile he is but he has frequently proven how good he is in the right system. Ozil is more disappointing, played in the right system countless times, even under Wenger who is the king of making lightweight attacking players look great and never really shone.

Aye, be that as it may. But, that doesn’t deny the fact that he once was considered amongst the best player. Not sure what happened to him whilst at Arsenal
