Wenger knew he'd have to pay over the odds for a decent player though, no matter which position they brought one in for.
I think Ozil is a cracking signing and I'm a little gutted as a Spurs fan that we didn't somebody a little more creative in the middle like Ozil. I know we bought Eriksen, but at the moment I think most people would agree Ozil is the better player and at 24 at least he's still got youth on his side.
Seems like Arsenal have all the flair in the middle and Spurs have got all the strength.
