Is it about time we had an alternative to Özil?

[Lady Henry AKA The African Queen]

Yes he is brilliant and all that but he has seriously off days where we should have alternatives on the bench.

Or do we need to wait until he has signed before we start subbing him?

Bergkamp had quiet games, but he wasn't subbed off because he was capable of producing one moment that could win the game.

Same with Ozil imo.

How dare you compare Ozil to Dennis ( :bow: )

[Bergkamp Was Best]

Ozil is one of those mercurial players who can produce something out of very little, he may not do a lot for 80 minutes of a game but is a potential match winner.

We need to replace and improve the players around him and get rid of the likes of Walcott, Ramsey and Monreal (he drives me mad with how poor his final ball is).

[World's End Stella]

Ozil is a genius, but a genius who needs players around him who give him the options he needs.

I watched it only casually last night but Ox and Theo seemed to be utterly anonymous. Although they looked world class compared to Iwobi when he came on.

And Ramsey is our option when Ozil is having an off day.

I'm not sure. We *have* just spent about 100 million quid.

In fairness though, both the Manchesters also seem to be saying they need to spend more, so maybe we might as well too.

:nod: Players like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Then we are doomed on his current form.

Yes but Denis was more central and provided more of a direct goal threat.
Can't really compare
