Graham H. reporting that Ozil's reps are holding out on rubber stamping a move to Arsenal in the hope that United will step in.

Fingers crossed!

Then step in Woodward! What is he waiting for? Fellaini and Ozil and we'll be set for the season and have one of the strongest midfields in the league.

"The only proviso I would have is that if Arsenal seal that deal they are signing a guy who's will was to go to Old Trafford and who's agent has been holding on for that prospect until the last minute."

"So IF your rumour is correct then this is a high quality player we are talking about but, honestly, IF United get a footballer from Madrid tonight then think Khedira or Özil who, although Arsenal are so near to doing, keeps hankering after United. [Sorry Gunners fans but it's true]"

And from the BBC;

Fulham's German defender Sascha Riether:

"Welcome to London Mesut Ozil."

Steady on there Sascha. No deal confirmed yet. Anyone would think Mesut Ozil was waiting for a better offer.

Too late. What a joke Ed Woodward is.
