For most of his top level career, Ozil was the best attacking midfielder on this planet.

Interesting that you'd build a team around someone who "flopped" at Barcelona.

Ahem?
You claimed that he seems to have spent his entire career looking for his 'way', but then have to resort to comparisons with one of the best midfielders in Premier League history? Seems quite a career for someone who seems to be always searching for his 'way'.LMAO wrote:If I were building a team around a player, I'd pick Cesc.

Fastest to 50 assists in Prem history before KdB broke that record. More suited to La Liga, you say?
If Ozil had van Persie up top instead of sexy Ollie, he'd have smashed Henry's assists record by quite some margin.

Would you say Cesc flopped at Barca? He was competing for a place against Xavi and Iniesta or playing a false 9 role but still managed to score 42 goals and 50 assists. He won La Liga and the domestic cup which is the same as what Ozil won for Real Madrid.

One gave us his all- his work ethic and drive can never be denied. The other had all the skills in the world but didn't have the drive.

I was always disappointed by the fact that we never saw Cesc and Rosicky play through the middle together or Cesc and Nasri.
