At the end of the day Ozil is purely a CAM. Teams today can replace such luxury players. Pure CAMs who don't score many goals of their own are a dime a dozen in the market.
You say why is Ozil praised by every manager?
and my response would be why was Ozil sold by Real Madrid? why have managers said he's not a big game player? Why do pundits say he's extremely lazy? why do ex-players/football writers/pundits say Ozil cannot take the game by the scruff of the neck? That he needs others to perform before he performs? Why do German fans say he's not crucial to their NT?Anybody who watches Germany would know Ozil is not the pivotal/key player in the German NT.
That would be Toni Kroos. He's their pass-master. Khedira contributes more to Germany as a team than Ozil. Why is it that German fans ALWAYS laugh at and disagree with Ozil being awarded the best German player of the year award? They always say he doesn't deserve it and value players like
Khedira, Toni Kroos, Manuel Neur etc. MUCH MUCH more highly. They should know as they watch their NT religiously.
Face the facts, while I don't want either to leave.
Ozil is easier to replace than Alexis Sanchez in todays market. Deluded to say otherwise you tell me where you find a replacement for Alexis Sanchez who works his socks off pressing and chasing down lost causes, scores goals, has passion for the game, trains like a maniac, can play multiple positions, never knows when he's beat and fights to win games.
OZIL REPLACEMENTSI keep listing replacements for Ozil, but the usual response is "We'd never buy those players"
WTF? The argument is who is easier to replace, and there are more replacements for Ozil who is a pure CAM.
Miralem Pjanic
Hakan Calhanoglu
Youri Tielemans
James
Isco
Verratti
etc. Any of those would walk in as replacements for Ozil at Arsenal. Even Juan Mata at his age would do a job at No 10 for any Prem team. Harder to replace a WF/CF like Sanchez.
