See he's yours Arsenal.
I can't understand why City wouldn't have taken the option for Ozil, he's better than Silva and better than Jovetic who I presume would not have been signed if Ozil were, plus it's not like the money would be an issue for City.
I can only presume the 'option' had come after they signed Jovetic and thus they could no longer fit him in.
edit: and I totally forgot about Nasri, why not just get rid of him and bring in Ozil? And I see they are bidding for El Shaa apparently, another attacking player, so presumably they could have fitted in Ozil regardless. Makes no sense
