PHOTO: Dietmar Hamann:Arsene Wenger bought Mesut Ozil, base on 'hype', and Arsenal’s drop in form, not Ozil’s fault

-
The news surrounding the form of Mesut Ozil and his inability to carry the London team, Arsenal to the Premier League glory sine making the move from Real Madrid, has been generating a lot of side talk from football pundits, and managers alike...
The switch by Mesut Ozil who was one of the best players in the Real Madrid team, before joining Arsenal for a club record fee of £42.5million, has been labelled ‘hype’ by former German International, and Liverpool legend, Dietmar Hamann...

Hamann, while speaking on the current Arsenal form and the impact Ozil, was expected to have on the team after signing for the club, said:
‘Wenger has put a lot of trust and faith in some of these players and he’s been badly let down. It’s one thing when you buy somebody – you see the talent and the ability – but sometimes you only see how they behave and how they react in stressful situations when they’re already at your club,’ Hamann explained.
‘I never believed the hype about Mesut Ozil, but he shouldn’t be treated as a scapegoat either. The bottom line with Arsenal is they’ve got some players who play in September, October and November but don’t turn up in February and March. That’s when it matters. There’s a reason Real Madrid sold Ozil.’
 ‘Since Alex Song left the club, Arsenal haven’t addressed the fact that they lack a proper defensive midfielder. They’ve got Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny who are OK players – but OK isn’t good enough for Arsenal.
‘Xhaka could have been the man to do it, but it hasn’t turned out that way. He’s been a major disappointment. He dives in and gets himself sent off, he gives away silly free-kicks and gets himself suspended.

‘Xhaka is a capable player and hopefully we see that in years to come, but so far he hasn’t lived up to expectation either. He’s caused them more harm than good this season.

‘These Arsenal players just make bad decisions at the worst times, hence they’re miles off the best sides in Europe. The last 16 of the Champions League comes down to making good choices, your mentality and being streetwise. Arsenal aren’t any of these.
