Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Moreover Arsenal have earned all that money, rather than having someone pump it out.

It's much more than just a signing though.

The signing is a statement that Arsenal are back. That Arsenal are back to being an ambitious team. This is just the start for what could be a bright future for them providing they keep on making signings like Özil.

It's a great signing and I'm glad to see the best players signing for the PL.

Maybe so, great signing but still not enough depth for them currently. They handled their transfer window poorly and are still short in areas namely fullbacks and a winger. If they hijacked the willian transfer instead of us along with the signing of ozil then they would deserve a bow.

:lol: Some commented this pic -

That is a lot of hair. I hope he's hiding Coentrão in there!

Ozil is a great signing and currently among the best players in his position plus it is great to see someone like him playing in the PL but is he the correct signing that they are looking for is the million dollar question. He will help Arsenal tremendously goes without saying but they already have Cazola who has done well along side Rosisky and even Wilshere can play that position if i m not wrong, it just a move which Wenger took in desperation after the promises that they made to the fans it is a different story that they manage to grab a very good player.

I see Spurs and Liverpool a bigger threat once the team has gelled down.

The only good thing out of the last day transfer window is that we managed to hold on to Mata!

[Special Juan 27,439]

Ozil is a terrific player but to me he is a signing that gets the fans back onside but doesn't really solve all the issues Arsenal have.

The two signings of United and Arsenal smack to me of "We better sign someone or we will get royally fucked by the fans"

[Superblue 6,372]

Retaining Mata and Luiz, arguably our two most influential players last season, amidst all the media bollocks stirring was a great last day of the transfer window. Yes we still have a couple of positions that may need strengthening over time, but I don't think any Premier League club doesn't have a few holes in their squad. We definitely have a squad capable of challenging for the title this season.

United need Fellaini...they've lacked a bit of steel in midfield for a while.

Carrick - Fellaini is better than Carrick - Cleverley..

I hope next year, we sign central midfielders.

So Chelsea have 23 loaned players.. We could make a Chelsea B and Chelsea C .

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

To be fair....most of those players aren't gonna make it.

Apart from Courtois and Lukaku..the only players with a real shot at Chelsea's first team are: Atsu, Van Aanholt, Thorgan Hazard (if he keeps developing), Todd Kane (Homegrown) & Wallace (if he develops properly)

(I'm assuming Romeu and Marin will get permanent deals in Spain).

The only real point that deadline day open to us, is that Florentino Perez is an idiot. Change Ozil on Bale and pay for this around 50m is a nonsense.

But I doubt that Ozil will be so decisive to Arsenal season. They more like us last season, have only one striker, a lot of creative midfielders and no real defensive midfielder. Still believe spurs do better on the market, there midblock need time, but it could deliver more in the end.

And Moyes and Man Utd fall right from the start, just imagine their fans feelings now, Ozil could be dream signing for them and he goes to Ars without any real fight.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Josh McEachran, Nathaniel Chalobah, Kenneth Omeruo, or Billy Clifford were not sent out on loan by the end of the transfer window.

I would love to see a reserve grade competition. Have them play before or after the first team on game day. Like I've said it before, some players thrive on big crowds. This would also appease those who actually worry about our youth set-up not getting the right opportunities.

We have a very similar competition for the NRL and its been a massive success.

Arsenal fans going mad saying that the signing of Ozil in a position they were already well stocked in is going to make them title contenders immediately.

Even saw one say that they "easily have the best midfield in the league."

Hilarious.

arteta-wilshere-özil-cazorla...also walcott/chamberlain. you could argue that it is the best midfield in the league when all are in form.
