So. We did it. We freaking signed Mesut Özil, and Arsène Wenger has not just broken, but completely atomized his transfer record. Most of the Arsenal-speaking Twitter promptly exploded. Here are some of the reactions, in no particular order:

We may've just picked up the best player in the league. I'm in some kind of shock right here.

My timeline has descended (or ascended?) into what, in the 1990s, was described as "cyber sex".

(But she's also a Madridista, so she was feeling conflicted):
OH MY GOD OZIL JUST TWEETED I CAN'T TAKE THIS I CAN'T TAKE IT RAINING ON MY FACE RAIN EVEYRWHERE

Our resident Spanish contingent was weighing in:

I shall call you "Mez", "Mezzy" or "Mezzington".

Oh god. Genuinely rather emotional. Silly cow.

I'm still shocked Wenger paid that much. For anything. For anyone. That he is aware that much money exists.
— Aaron Gordon (@A_W_Gordon) September 2, 2013
And finally:
if you're saying anything other than "HOLY SHIT YES WE SIGNED MESUT ÖZIL" right now, lol
— Based Aaron Ramsey (@Brohan_Cruyff) September 2, 2013
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to run around the block a few times.
