![]() What you know about him? I'm starting to think SAF will be investing in youth with a view to the future rather than splashing out silly money on a star player. If he can get Benzema/Ribery at 40million and under I think he might but if not we may well stay out of the transfer madness! |

http://www.sportbild.de/sportbild/ge...690600000.html Schon im Januar 2008, als Bremen den Techniker von Schalke für 5,5 Mio. Euro verpflichtet hatte, wollte auch Champions-League-Sieger Manchester United Özil kaufen. Das bestätigt der Nationalspieler erstmals auf Anfrage: "Natürlich war das eine große Ehre für mich, dass so ein großer Klub wie Manchester United mich haben wollte. Aber die Anfrage kam einen Tag vor Transferschluss. Und ich hatte Werder bereits mein Wort gegeben. Deshalb spielte damals das Ausland keine Rolle für mich." = One day before the transfer market closed... Manchester came up, but I gave me word to Bremen, and at this point leaving Germany was not the best point of time. |

From Sky:
Bremen - No offers for Ozil Allofs says club are not looking to sell reported City target By Thomas Zocher Werder Bremen insist there have been no enquiries for Mesut Ozil after the midfielder was linked with Manchester City. Ozil enjoyed an impressive season for Bremen and scored the winner in last weekend's German Cup final against Bayer Leverkusen. He was also an influential figure in the club's run to the Uefa Cup final and reports have claimed Premier League big spenders City have shown an interest. However, Bremen's general manager Klaus Allofs says there has not been an offer for the youngster and the club are hoping to tie Ozil down to a new contract. "There is no enquiry on the table regarding Mesut Ozil," Allofs told Bild. "But, when there is a player scoring the winning goal in the German Cup final who also appears in the Uefa Cup final, then it is quite a fact almost everyone is casting an eye over his abilities. "We are currently in talks with Mesut regarding a new contract." Allofs added: "I have to admit the officials from Juventus said Mesut would be a great talent back when we negotiated the transfer of Diego to their club. "We said then that we do not plan to sell Mesut." |

he should stay with Werder atleast one more season IMO to see how he copes with being the main man there after Diegos departure. not ready for a top club yet. he strikes me as an Arsenal type of player.

Back in January:
He said: ''It's a big honour for me that such a great club like Manchester United wanted to buy me. But their offer came in too late - a day before the window closed - and I had already given Bremen my word.'' Seems like genuine interest, I hope so. |

Quality player he is. Pace, dribbling skills, vision... everything is there but still very raw. His passing is sloppy at times, but it improved dramatically over the last season. He also contributed three goals and 15 assists in his first full season at Bremen, mainly playing on the left and cutting inside.
He would be a more than decent signing, but let's see how he can cope with the pressure being the main creative man for the second biggest German club at the age of 20. |

Have had a soft spot for him since I saw a player special on him. Would like to see more of him as the main creative option before i would like to see hm at United. He is quality mind, just not sure if he would be ready for United right now.
