Why?

 

Arsenal are our concern at the moment not Utd.

 

Well, I'm not sure I agree with that, but leaving that aside I think Ozil will help Arsenal win games they'd have won anyway and do very little in the games they'd lose or draw. Their problem isn't creativity.

 

Like I said yesterday, if they were signing Begovic, Sakho, and Mario Suarez, I'd be thinking 'ah, fuck, this just got a lot harder'. Instead, they're bringing in players where they've already got decent options.

Creative midfielders Arsene, that's what you lack.

 

Yep, that's my point exactly. Get in Di Maria too if you like. It won't make too much difference.

I am fucking hoping beyond hope we bring in another forward (as well as Moses). I can't be bothered ranting at how ridiculous it is that we seem to have nobody coming in, I'm just going to sit here and hope.

 

Borini, gone or not, is never good enough for us. Aspas is playing out like I thought it would - a decent backup, and a better one than Borini, but not much more. That leaves us banking on Sturridge (often gets niggles), Suarez (may down tools, leave in Jan), Coutinho (still young and doesn't lead the line) and Moses.

 

We need somebody else who can get us goals this season, either in place of Sturridge or to play beside him on the left/right.

 

This is my worry as well. Might not happen but all we need to be seriously short upfront is a significant injury to Sturridge or another one of Luis Suarez's on field brain farts resulting in another lengthy ban and we could be in real shit re alternate options.

Agree that Ozil isn't exactly what Arsenal need and won't address their main problems, namely their defence and goal keeping positions. But he is a class player and will still improve them enormously as an attacking side. He's light years ahead of what they already have, none of their current players come close to him.
