@@trephix He was great for Germany but let's face it, Germany play a lot of teams that are several levels below them. His club career was a bust. I mean, he was great against weak teams, but disappeared when games got tough. At least he did when he was at Arsenal. So far as individual awards they are a popularity contest. Messi and Ronaldo won plenty of Balon Dors they didn't deserve simply cos they Messi and Ronaldo.

One of the greatest ever in his position. Only ever problem was he work ethic at times, but his talent was that immense that he was worth it. His partnership with ronaldo was something else as well. The fact he put up such good numbers with giroud, Walcott and co says a lot. Amazing player.

Made the game look effortless. He saw the game differently, and his vision helped unlock defenses, which others would not have seen. The enduring memory was him leaving Gareth Barry coughing up a lung in özil's wake even though Barry had yards on him then nutmegging the English defense with a square pass to Müller for the 4: 1 goal in WC2010

Santi Cazorla injuries and then leaving was what effected Ozil the most, no other player in the Arsenal team had the vision or passing ability to find Ozil first time in space. By the time he got the ball he had 2/3 players round him.

Would've shattered the single season PL assist record in 2016 (when he finished with 19) if he had actually had a clinical striker up top. Instead he had Giroud (who went over a dozen straight games without a goal), Walcott (who was injured most of the season), and Welbeck (also injured most of the season).

Wenger was lucky when he arrived at Arsenal,the entire back line was great so he only needed to concentrate on attack and attacking players but when the defensive backline retired or left he never replaced them i don't know why, he had so many transfer windows to identify a great player and buy him, if he had a great defence and dmf behind him and also better wingers and a Striker we would have won the league. He is such a talent i would built a team around him. Arsenal fans who called him lazy and who blamed him for losses should be ashamed, Wenger didn't know that defence wins you titles not beautiful attacking football.

Am Arsenal fan I really really Loved Mesut Ozil. But for me I admit coming to Arsenal was the bad decision, the timing wasnt right.the team wasnt balanced, it was tough for him. The media and pundits started to single him out for failures of other people in the club. Immagine Him at that City Team, or any other well balanced team

He was a really good player. Tbf, You expect a guy look him to get tackled all the time. Only reasons Arsenal fans hate him is 1.the contract 2. hes not the headless chicken presser. His technique didnt fade, the management just never truly built around him after wenger (no wingers for targets and a shoddy defense).

3. He didn’t but into the team first motto that needs to be applied to all players in team sports . Hence why he had issues everywhere he went , Real Madrid , German national team , arsenal , Fenerbache . Definitely a pattern their taking nothing away from his skill and potential but give me Odegard over a prime Ozil any day

Maybe that’s why Arsenal have 0 UCLs and 0 PL titles in 20 years, no respect for technical and all time midfielders, you are the reason why arsenal is finished and ain’t coming back to glory. Özil is a legend of football, he does not need Arsenal fans love.

Probably the laziest Arsenal player ever it also didn't help that Werner was becoming a lazy coach in his first few seasons before he got sacked. He wasted his own time.
