Not sure where he'd fit with Özil in the team. Could play him wide right or left but is that really going to be good for him or us?
He'll be brilliant wide.
Would he really though? Maybe individually he'd be good but would he work well as part of a proper functioning and balanced team? I think he's too slow, too static and comes to the ball too much in order to really improve the team more than a proper wide player would. He'd score goals because he's brilliant and has a left foot to die for but when he's not scoring goals he'll be clogging up the centre of the pitch and stepping on Özil's toes, struggling to find room to unleash that rocket shot of his.
I wouldn't say no because he's a brilliant footballer but there are others that might be available that I'd look to first.
