Wenger - I couldn't say no to Ozil

Arsène Wenger thinks there was no "special
emptiness" in Arsenal's midfield before the
signing of Mesut Ozil.
The German playmaker arrived in north London last
month for a Club record fee and has made an instant
impact with a number of eye-catching displays.
I believe what is important is what you see
when a team plays, the rest you have to
cope with
Arsène Wenger
Despite having a plethora of midfielders at his
disposal, Wenger insists he couldn't turn down the
chance to sign Ozil.
"You have to look at the quality first and when you
have high expectation levels you can't turn down a
world-class player," said Wenger.
"There was no special emptiness in that position but
the quality was so big it was too difficult to say no.
"I believe what is important is what you see when a
team plays, the rest you have to cope with," Wenger
added.
"Look at Bayern [Munich] the other night, they have
[Javi] Martinez and [Mario] Goetze on the bench.
"People said the team cost £92 million and Man City
cost £190 million, but Bayern had over £100 million
on the bench. That's part of big clubs today, having
big players on the bench."
