Hi Ed’s, do arsenal hold any realistic hope that oezil will pen a new deal. Considering this is arsenal we are talking about and what is becoming a very proactive window by our standards. My feeling about oezil is that a team needs to be built around him and to get the best out of him you need a better quality of player around him! Apart from sanchez there isn’t another attacking player in the club that I would describe as top quality . With talks of auba and Malcom that would give oezil plenty of options for passes.
{Ed002's Note - They hope so but are aware is contract is running down and he can talk to European clubs about a move. He would need to drop his financial demands for it to happen.}

Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully the club can start showing some direction and put together a package that will prove tempting.

For Ozil to sign a number of things need to happen in my view.
1. We show some ambition in the transfer market.
2. His wage demands are not absurd, relative to what he offers.
3. There is a realistic prospect of CL football next year (after a massive winning run, or winning the Europa) .
Of course, we may not want him.!

For me UC the team should be built around him. We need to be more dynamic and need to turn defense into attack quicker. We need a box to box player (goretzka) and go to a back 4 again with faster players on the wing and full backs overlapping. A 4, 2, 3,1 formation.
