Having spoken to a German friend and big German football fan; he said that Ozil isn't the kind of player to take the game by the scruff of the neck when all around him are struggling (like for example a Gerrard would). He's most effective when he has exactly the kind of players around him that he likes and at the moment is alost certainly missing Walcott and Ramsey. He also suggested that he'd be a good player in the Premier League if he was at a club he wanted to be at (like Werder Bremen and Real Madrid previously), but he was desperate not to leave RM and couldn't give two hoots about Arsenal, but was sacrficed to make room and money for Bale. A spurs fan tweeted earlier today, "Thanks for the Special Relationship @RealMadrid, you nearly fooled us with the Ozil transfer"
