Did Ozil get along with Jose?

You know, there's a tv show here in Romania called "European Football". It is live on monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday and it's all about analysing tactics and talking abou what happened in week-end's matches in La Liga, Ligue 1, EPL and Serie A.

So, let's stick to te subject - when the "La Liga night" comes, they have a live chat by phone with Gica Craioveanu. If you haven't heard of him, he is a former Sociedad, Villareal, Getafe and Romanian National Team player, football commentator in Spain and with some friends inside Real Madrid such as Iker, Sergio Ramos, Xabi, Arbeloa, Albiol (Napoli now) and others.

Now to answer your question - I remember I was watching this tv show live just after Madrid's home game against Espanyol last season, ended in a 2-2 draw (nine or ten months ago). Real was coming after a defeat in Copa del Rey against Celta and Mourinho wasn't having the best of times at Madrid. Among other things, Craioveanu was asked about Ozil's situation in Madrid because spanish newspapers were talking about Mourinho not getting along with Ozil. Craioveanu said that, at that time, Mourinho had not spoken to Ozil for more than two months! A guy inside Madrid told him that (probably Albiol because he was Craioveanu's best friend there). Ozil was coming to the training ground, he was training properly, but for some reason Mourinho was mad at him and Ozil was the only player Jose wasn't talking to during a training session. He was passing the instructions for Ozil through his assistant, Aitor Karanka. He didn't send him to the "B" team, he was still a regular in Jose's team, but the two of them were not speaking to each other. Very strange, but this is what Craioveanu said in that tv show... And I tend to trust him because he ain't lying - he is a great guy and the tv station broadcasting the show is a sports related one (no gossips, no fights).

And now there's talk of us loaning Ba to Arsenal. Why strengthen a direct rival without getting anything out of the deal?

Even if Ba only contributes a handful of goals it's not worth it. Sell him to Newcastle or something.

Do we have some people in our board that are secretly trying to turn Liverpool into what they once were?

It feels like we're doing very bad business (for us) with Liverpool. They sure are getting the best out of us....Torres, Sturridge, Moses

yossi??? :)

BREAKING: PSG match Arsenal's bid for Ozil

Paris Saint-Germain have matched Arsenal's offer of £40million for Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil. It looks like we're in for a dramatic few hours.

Kind of hope Arsenal get him, would like to see him in the PL, and I dont think Arsenal would be strong enough to win the league even with him

Özil will be a great player for Arsenal but is he really a player they so desperately need they're willing to pay three times their previous transfer record for him? They already have Cazorla to play behind the striker so if Özil joins then one of them will be forced out wide where neither of them are at their best. Wenger should have spent that money earlier in the window for a new left winger with explosive pace, not in another number ten.
