Doesn't matter. Ozil doesn't score enough.

Players from memory for me that were world class players have always been spoken about. Take players like Robert Jarni, Georghe Hagi, Stoichkov, Robert Prosinecki, Michael Laudrup, Tomas Hassler, Enzo Scifo, etc etc, when you regale certain periods you cannot ignore players of this ilk, if you do then you don't know football, you don't just mention Maradona and Romario.
Because recent history has been dominated by Messi and Ronaldo, doesn't mean there have not been other top world class players that shouldn't get a mention, like Ibrahimovic, Pirlo, Lahm, Xavi and Ozil, etc. Ozil must be included because his numbers were off the charts and so was his vision, ability and his mercurial style.

He dominated stats in Premier League when he came to Arsenal. How can he not be classed as one of the best if not the best CAM in the world when he was in his prime??? Who was better than him?

That's your opinion but it's not what the vast majority think ...
Has Ozil ever one the Ballon D'or? has he ever even made the top ten? .... no he hasn't so clearly his peers just don't agree with you ... it's five years since he was even made the final shortlist. how is that the mark of "the best CAM in the world" it just isn't ....
Your opinion is perfectly valid ... but equally you have to accept the evidence that the rest of the footballing world simply do not agree.

2000 - 14th. 2001 - 5th. 2002 - Not in. 2003 - 18th. 2004 - Not in. 2005 - Not in. 2006 - Not in. 2007 - 10th. 2008 - Not in. 2009 - Not in. 2010 - Not in. 2011 - Not in. 2012 - Not in. 2013 - Not in. 2014 - Not in.
For a player who was consistently one of the best players in Italy from 2000 to around 2013, to only reach the top 20-25 in the Ballon d'or nominations 4 times is a total piss take, especially when you consider that Asamoah Gyan at Sunderland got in the list in a year Totti didn't as did Kanu at Arsenal - as fab a player as he was he was nowhere near as consistent as Totti.
