IMO the problem with signing Ozil was we never actually built the team or style around him IMO, & the closest we came was signing Sanchez. Everything else was still a compromise that he was expected to pull a rabbit out of the hat. The issue wasn't so much signing Ozil as it was in not following it through with further signings. Once again the summer we only signed Cech comes back to haunt.
Thank fucking god we didn't build a team around this guy. Would have been an absolute disaster.
You can only build your team around someone that is responsible and consistent, not someone who constantly hides on the pitch and is regularly sick.
If you watch our old seasons highlights, Alexis actually carried us massively for many matches. Granted Ozil is not highlight reel but he really is not involved in that many good moments with us overall in a season as compared to others. His highs is very high, like vs Napoli/Leicester/Bulgarian team but too little to write home about.
