He's what I think Ramsey needs to be. I'd love to see Gotze in the red and white, he brings what we've lost over the summer. Unfortunatly, they have a great project going on in Dortmund and he'll probably be grabbing the attention of the plastic clubs.
It may be a long, bumpy road but I think the lads are on the road to recovery. I just hope a recovered Arsenal will be good enough.

First of all, their effort at defending there was much better than it has been. I think they transplanted Vermaelen's heart into Koscielny. He was a completely different player. And the addition of Mertesacker seems to be going very well thus far.
As for Gotze. Germany really has an embarrassment of riches in central midfield now with Ozil, Gotze, Kedira and Schweinsteiger. It will be very interesting to see how they use this kid and how he improves going forward.
As for potential destinations, well, much like most Germany Internationals he'll probably wind up at Bayern before too long, but pretty well any top flight club would love to have him. That said, Dortmund have put together a very intriguing product, and he might be enticed to stay. It does happen.
That said though, Dortmund effectively dominated Arsenal, outside of the very well worked goal Arsenal really didnt have much in the way of sustained pressure and really didnt trouble Wiedenfeller. They were doing a lot of defending and that game could have gone south for them in a hurry.
Sceszny made some very good saves that could have sunk Arsenal pretty badly. Flapianski is still second choice right?

You know, if Mario Balotelli had said it I'd probably laugh it off as delusions of grandeur. Coming from Ronaldo though, I dont know, I just dont envision him having much of a sense of humour.
