Pre-season Talk

Spain may have won the World Cup, the Netherlands may have played in the final, but a perusal of comments from football fans would indicate that it is Germany who have caught the imagination with their attacking play.

Germany - attacking play. Imagine !

While it would be lovely if Sir Alex could sign the two poster boys of the German youth movement, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller, squad needs and finances dictate that only one is a feasible option.

Thomas Muller was playing at right midfield where Utd already have Valencia and Nani. And if switched to forward, Utd have Rooney, Berbatov and a bevy of others waiting in the wings (Owen, Hernandez, Macheda, Diouf and Welbeck). Let's not even talk about how much it would cost to buy a Golden Boot and Young Player award winner who is only 20 years old !

Ozil, on the other hand, would seem a natural fit to take the place of an aging Paul Scholes. And since he is in the final year of his contract with Werder Bremen, there should be some sort of discount on his price. And I know that SAF is interested in Ozil as Utd have tried to get him into their youth team before.

So, come on, Fergie !

Sign him up.

Imagine what he could do with your chewing gum !
