I rate his ability, and if he were "on it" consistently every week he could defo give us something extra in CM, but his commitment is another matter. I just can't see him fitting into our relentless pressing game.
Bullshit meter is off the charts.
As implicitly as I trust RedNinja, I am sceptical.

Well given the twitter Hierarchy this transfer window, I suspect it is most likely Bull Shit..
Still I do think it would be a decent signing.. He is the 'magical man' that could replace Coutinho like for like
I personally think Klopp would certainly get more out of him too..

When I say Hierarchy, it's rather tongue in cheek..
'ITKs' who insist they are ITKs, but actually aren't all that they really believe they are cracked upto be..

Soooo... you say there is a chance??
I think Ozil will have to buy into the pressing, as he can be woeful in that regard.
Then again Arsenal don't really press as a team. You can get away with it, as none of them seem to do it. They certainly don't do it collectively.
Can't remember who they played a few weeks ago, but Arsenal did press and Ozil did it really well. So he is capable, he just doesn't do it enough. Maybe under a more demanding coach, he'll realise he has to do it in order to play.
Then again at home against weaker sides that come to Anfield we need craft more than graft a lot of the time and Ozil still has that. That's the biggest thing we do lose with Coutinho and Ozil could help with that.
So we might have one type of team to win against a side that sits deep at home. Then another type of team to play Bayern Munich away.
He'd give us options and he's very good value in the current market.
If he didn't have his current contract situation, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be interested. But his contract situation does make him more appealing. Even if he doesn't fit our usual transfer model.

I don't see why people are surprised.
The problem isn't Ozil. The problem is Arsene Wenger's USE of Ozil.
Wenger would play him in a game like yesterday. Klopp wouldn't, because he knows we would need legs and pressing to beat City and a Henderson/Can/Wini/Lallana are better suited.
However, against your bus parking teams like West Brom and Everton/United (ha!), sometimes you need a bit of class/invention, and that's where Ozil comes in. Capable of extraordinary moments of class that Hendo/Wini/Can are seemingly incapable of.
If we signed him, for under 30m, I would be delighted. Let's not forget, this guy has more assists in the league than anyone in the league, since he's arrived.
If used properly, he's in the same bracket as your David Silvas' and Eriksens'. I think Klopp would use him in the right games and his workrate would go up too. Ozil would not move to a Klopp team if he felt incapable of running/pressing (even against the smaller teams).

Truth is we need a little bit of magic from midfield, someone who can pull that pass, a rabbit out of the hat.. A playmaker.. Ozil will give you that in abundance..
He does have a pressing game about him.. He just doesn't get used correctly by his current manager... See OX as prime example of this..
Klopp is great at getting players playing to their strengths and Ozil and a LFC team with Ozil in it could very well benefit from that.. Could you imagine his pings to Salah, Mane and Co, to break down those stubborn of stubborn defences... Wow.. It would be something else..
We really should be all over this.. He could give us that extra option, signing him may also help in securing the services of Can, a fellow German, which imho, would be insane if we let him go..

He will come and fight with ox and Lallana for that spot supporting/feeding the front 3. Don't see him take a deeper spot?
Only be fighting that position with Lallana..
Ox is winger, right midfielder.. Thats how Klopp sees him and wishes to use him
Nah his best positions are behind the striker in the front three attacking roles.
If he's signed, he's a direct replacement for Coutinho.

He used him in CM yesterday, so he must see him an option in that role.
Might be less of an option if Lallana gets back to his best / more fitness or we sign someone like Ozil.
But currently he's a central attacking midfield option.
I thought he was RM.. Particularly when we played 442
He dropped into middle occasionally..
