MESUT OZIL WOULD not have been good enough to get into Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ starting XI, claims club legend Martin Keown.
The Gunners won 26 games and had 12 draws during their famous 2003/2004 Premier League season, thus going unbeaten.
And Keown, who was largely used as a substitute during their run, claims Ozil – a World Cup winner — wouldn’t have displaced Dennis Bergkamp in the team.
Ozil would not get in [to the Invincibles XI],” Keown said. “It would be a choice between Ozil and Dennis Bergkamp.
“Dennis played in the same position but he would start higher up the pitch and then drop. Ozil starts deep and you don’t know when he is coming or going.
We saw it against Chelsea — Sanchez is saying, ‘Come on,’ but Ozil does not really want to go and press.”
Keown was speaking out in the aftermath of Arsenal’s dismal 3-1 loss to Chelsea on Saturday, a game that largely passed Ozil by.
Arsenal’s current form is in stark contrast to their predecessors — Ozil and his team mates are 12 points adrift of the league leaders.

Wife? 21? Really?
The wags are getting them locked down young
When I was 21 I was blowing shit up in the microwave ala Ian Henderson in a student house
Anthony Martial is married with two kids at 19. She knew…
Coutinho been married since he was 19 too I believe.
Check her out, she’s an absolute lasher. I’d be wifing that at 21 as well.
Image of Bale
Let’s hope he will be as good as Bale !
They say supposedly there’s around 7 people in the world who look exactly like you..
Yip. Lucky enough that mine is Ryan Gosling
:D
He’d make more money as an impersonator
Or even league one. Being on the books at a top prem club then going to league two is a massive drop down
And probably offers us an insight into the actual level that this fella is at. He’s not going to league 2 for any other reason than he didn’t have any other options. He might rebound in a few years but I’ve a feeling that looking like Bale will be as close to a top footballer that he may ever be and I mean that as no slight against him, the odds of making it at the top level of football are in the high millions.
Jamie Vardy. ….
Surely he could have been picked up by a championship club rather than having to drop down to league 2
Why would that be?
You would think that. But here we are.
And york city are in last place
Plot twist, Kenny is actually playing for Madrid and Bale is off to the metropolis of York.
So it was Kenny who got Wales to euro 2016!!!
Give him time, Alan Judge was in a similar situation when Blackburn. Now PL teams are interested in signing him.
Hope ha can play like bale
