Ben C 10,858 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Re: Premier League Discussion Thread If Arsenal get Ozil and we get no-one good lord I'll be annoyed. Ozil is a top drawer midfielder great *big* eye for a pass. Would improve any PL side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paying above his market value is worth it for someone like Ozil calibre[/quote']never said he wouldn't be a good signing or not improve Arsenal, just personally think other areas were more needed to be addressed than what Ozil brings to the party. No problem with anybody overpaying it aint my money, still a lofty price tag though IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashtini 27,252 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Re: Premier League Discussion Thread Ozil isn't overpriced, if Bale is worth 86 then Ozil is worth at least half of that - it should be the other way around! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even more so when you compare him to Ronaldo: You can't change the player halfway through a discussion. again a bad comparison as Ronaldo has been at two of the genuine footballing heavyweights and Bale well Bale has been at Tottenham..... Plus you have to bear in mind Bale has only really been an attacking player for 18months or so. In no way does Bale compare to Ronaldo obviously but he is clearly a very decent player who I hope does very well out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both goals vs. Palace though were flukey and there's still plenty of work to do. But I'm feeling much more confident in our team now than I was when Pulis was in charge tbh. Some top signings too, with more potentially to follow tomorrow as well. Not convinced with Assaidi yet but Arnautovic could be a cracking signing along with Pieters. Diouf another if it materialises, but I'm looking forward to this season as it stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxInstinctxx 1,263 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Re: Premier League Discussion Thread Looks like Barry Bannan is set to join Palace tomorrow. Would be happy with that, an upgraded version of Garvan, although I can't see him getting in the starting XI if Jedi KG and Campaña keep up this form. Holloway said 3/4 should join tomorrow so very excited, would love it if we nicked Ulloa or Bridcutt off Brighton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyina 9,760 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Re: Premier League Discussion Thread All this talk/discussion/debate on Bale vs Ronaldo and the fees... Frankly it's just inflation people. Wages go up, cost of living (which in this case is cost for entertainment) also go up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
