we were linked with draxler aswell he looks like a quality player apparently schalke wanted 60m for him

he has a release clause for 45.5m but atm he prefered to play for schalke. but i guess he will leave next season.

You're mistaking Iniesta with Xavi, son.

probabaly, but they are misleading

With Isco not being there until this year, Madrid had:

Modric only came last season and he barely played due to injuries until he scored that goal in Old Trafford.
Di María and Xabi Alonso struggling with injuries all of last season.
Kaká... well...

So basicly, he was the only one in the team that could give assists. Meanwhile Barça plays with a team full of players that just pass the ball until one of them (anyone) gives the decisive pass.
Iniesta is more of a space maker and ofen gives the second to last pass (forward pass towards someone and then the ball is crossed to Messi so he can score; it's a very typical Barça move).
Not to mention that Özil shines against teams like Levante, Celta, Rayo, Zurich, Dinamo Zagreb; etc. He can gives 2-3 assists whenever he plays against those teams, but then he's rarely there when it's a big game.

I mean, don't get me wrong, he's a great player. But he's not a player that can carry a team to a trophy like Iniesta.

i guess we will have to see.
i think with ozil signing Arsenal will go far

Finish with 10 more points in the EPL, probably. Go beyond quarter finals in the CL, I doubt it.

Overall he will be a good signing imo, but I don't think he will carry the team to a title.

Overrated player. Xavi >>>

wtf?
xavi is 33 years old, özil is 24 right now.
they also play on different positions...

xavi is far from peak these days, him on the pitch makes barcelona quite vulnerable

I'd obviously pick özil over xavi
