Thats what i really want for us. Ok maybe im a bit spoilt, but i just know the team with the most depth always come 1st or 2nd in the league. And we really need this to finally get through the november period where we loose so many points because of tiredness playing 3 matches a week. That wont happen this season again, hopefully.

I just hope he doesnt get injured for long, hazard is another one that has played non-stop for 2 years. Thank goodness our squad depth is stronger now

You put schurrle twice Bayern munich last season strikers: Pizaro, mandzukic, gomez, Patrick Weihrauch Attacking mid: robben, ribbery, muller, shaqiri, kroos, central mid: gustavo, schwienstiger, martinez, tymoishook, emre can, Mitchell Weiser defence: rafinha, lahm, alaba, contento, vanbuyten, boateng, badstuber http://espnfc.com/team/squad/_/id/132/season/2012/league/ger.1/bayern-munich?cc=3888 We slagged them for having too much, they won the trebble I know having excess doesnt guarantee titles but every single time we won the premier league have you seen how much depth we had that season??? Hazard just picked up a knock training for belgium, so what if he's out for months were back to struggling without qualities again. Injuries are part of the reason for big squads not just keeping fresh legs

Im sure we will all know the value of this squad size when injuries start to kick in. Look at arsenal and podolski case now

He usually plays behind the striker during his time at florentina. But he can easily play as the main striker, his assists though are much high for just a normal striker.

He's not overrated in my opinion, but he doesn't make arsenal title contenders. It just makes them a stronger fighter for the top four. Once any of kocelny, giroud and scheczny gets injured, they're screwed...

Is he the same mould of modric?

I somewhat agree with this. Since we lost the speed of our attacks, the strikers suffer massively. But if we play faster by crossing quickly or attempting more through balls and keeping high pressure the goal ratio for the strikers will increase massively

Exactly, he has played non-stop football for 2 years

Brilliant.

I just almost cried after reading this :cry: But im sure lukaku wants to play for belgium in this world cup more than anything. Everton loan can only boost his chances more

Maybe Mourinho was just giving him a time off just like RDM did and we thought he wasnt favoured

thats strange. Does it mean that media outlets could be paying clubs to stay quiet so they can sell more papers?

So horrible for united. They better pray vanpersie brings them out of their holes again

I need mata to play more now more than ever! The platform is set for who will be the best pure AM in Europe this season. Mata vs Ozil vs Carzola vs Silva

Summary Jose > Rafa Eto'o > Torres Willian > Moses Schurrle > Malouda De Bruyne > Benayoun Van Ginkel > Raul Meireles shaped hole Essien > Fereirra Schwarzer > Turnbull

One of these loanees could well become a star player and it would be worth it, but its just hope though. Twitter / OptaJoe: 72 - Mesut Özil has 72 goal assists in the last five seasons - more than any other player across Europe's top five leagues. Tenterhooks. Twitter / OptaJoe: RT @OptaJose: 14 – @MesutOzil1088 has the most assists in the Champions League in the last three seasons. Wizard. Twitter / Squawka: Mesut Özil executed more key passes last season (78) than Barcelona trio Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Busquets & Cesc Fàbregas combined (75). Arsenal have got themselves a fine player, cant be underestimated again. They have more points than any other english team in 2013 for that matter

Mata stays yeah

Arsenal- Özil, Wilshere, Cazorla, Walcott. Chelsea- Hazard, Oscar, Mata, Willian. Man City- Silva, Nasri, Jovetic, Navas. Man Utd- carrick, Fellaini, Kagawa, Valencia Tottenham- Eriksen, Lamela, Dembele, Lennon. Liverpool- Gerrard, Coutinho, Aspas, Moses Arsenal's midfield's looks good now

Be on the bench as 3rd choice striker and face severe criticism when you make a mistake or Play consistently ahead of a world cup year?? No brainer really

It could be true, messi had 28 assists in one season before and has not gone below 22 for the past 3 seasons. Getting someone like ozil for our rivals would be absolutely devastating to me.

Most assists in the last 3 seasons 1. Ozil - 86 2. Messi - 80 3. Mata - 66 4. Ribery - 55 5. Hazard - 52 Thank goodness arsenal are not getting this guy behind current Giroud, but ozil behind vanpersie is the worst possible scenario

Most assists in the last 3 seasons 1. Ozil - 86 2. Messi - 80 3. Mata - 66 4. Ribery - 55 5. Hazard - 52 Thank goodness arsenal are not getting this guy behind current Giroud

Barbara and hjperdeath were the best, special mentions to nishc300 and peace as usual
