Oh man, you know I love me some Mesut but when I saw this picture, all I could think was “Lordy, he looks like a total douchebag.” I’m sure I’m going to get the pitchforks and torches treatment from the Mesut cultists but I can’t help it. This look of his and much of his fashion”stylings” as of late are leaving me cold. And don’t even get me started on the sideburns. He seems to be morphing into some weird Ibiza/Vegas frat boy. No me gusta. I guess I’ll just have to enjoy him on the pitch where he is timeless, simple and elegant, both in his look and his movement.
I’m all tired out from my weekend wedding extravaganza so more tomorrow! Lots of bits & bobs to catch up on.

I barely even recognized him when I first glanced at that picture! Eesh. I agree with you, Lozil. No me gusta.
Me too! My first tought: “who’s this guy? A new player?”
hmm, I think he looks and dresses (he’s been doing the high socks and yankee cap for awhile now, no doubt taken from Cristiano) the same minus the sideburns(which I hope is a one day thing).I thought last years Vegas pics were a lot more fratty. but I must admit, I did not enjoy the speedo.
Uggh…this smacks of what happens when you let your partner dictate your style. Or lack thereof.
Well, if by “partner” you mean Cris, Sergio or Karim, then yeah. 😉 But I’m not putting this one on poor Mandy, this shiz was going on long before she was in the picture.
Haha, yes, I did mean his merry band of bros. I should proofread a little better!
I’m pretty convinced he’s been watching too much Jersey Shore
i think i am growing out of the mesut phase as well.. there’s only so much developmental regression one can tolerate
I totally agree with you Lozil, I really don’t like his current look/style/”fashion”
No me gusta…non piace neanche un po’…
i have been lukewarm on him, at best, lately, and this isn’t winning me over in any way. no, i will have to keep focusing on the muppet babies.
Damn me why is he so depry?! Mesuuut, smiiile bb, smile! Please, don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I have anything against frowning or compression socks, but this look no me gusta too !!
I hope he looks better in his kit. I saw some pics from Bournemouth (*sob*), and the orange detailing on the jerseys & socks look ace. They match Cris’s tan almost exactly!
