Fact is players are valued in the market according to the expectation on what they will deliver thats why Flamini hasn't disappointed and Ozil has.

Özil might have disappointed relative to those stratospheric expectations, but by the same token he's also been fairly effective, and not just shit as the critics suggest. The same applies to his World Cup so far.

If you want a real PL megaflop you have to look at say Torres to Chelsea.

I reckon Shevchenko's a bigger flop, Torres has actually won things with Chelsea and managed to score a few goals despite his ineptness.

Ozil was top class in some matches and poor in some. It's hard for a player to just come into this League and be consistent, I can't really think of anyone who made a consistent immediate impact.

I'll see your Ozil and raise you Wenger.

If only he could find the net as easily as controversy finds him.

Reading that Barca put an article up on their site announcing Sanchez had signed for us, then pulled it? Weird.

Mind games!

Tony's thread jinxed it! We've blown the transfer.

Liverpool need to fuck off doing a spurs with the suarez transfer and just sort it out so we can confirm sanchez.

Typical scouse behviour.

Final Sanchez fee around £35m, medical later today, not unveiled at kit launch:

More than anything it shows that we've signed a big player two summers running, I was afraid Ozil was going to be a one off.

I was certain of it lol!

Who knew having an extra 50-70m odd a season would lead to us spending more money. Only thing I was afraid of is a cock up in the same vain as Suarez but I had no doubt on the willingness to spend big.

We have signed a world class player early in a world cup year. All those involved should deserve praise for us, fantastic job.

So glad the promise of spending continuously to always improve the team is fulfilled. Ozil last year said Wenger promised him that we will continue filling the team with worldclass players. The only way for us is definitely up now.

Not sure if we can still spend big on a striker now but really happy with this dream signing.

Pepe LeFrits

The opening pages of this thread are fun 😃

So, where are we going to fit him in?

Cannon

Someone on twitter said that Puma put pressure on Board/negotiating team to conclude it done before the Kit launch.... Not sure how true it is though

ludovicvanzis

Sounds completely untrue.
