Who is going to pay Özil's wages? No one. If we're getting rid of Mesut we're going to have to subsidise a huge amount of his contract.

We will probably loan him out for free to Inter or Milan ...
Country: Canada
In which case we will still be paying all of his wages.

Yeah that contract means you take a loss. Probably you just reduce the fee rather than subsidise wages. If we do sell him.

What happens when you have owner with zero ambition.
The worst thing is that the value of Arsenal goes up every year so he doesn't have to take action, he will just sell when its start getting bad but he will still be in huge profit.

If we assume that Özil is on purely £350k/wk in basic wages (I doubt that's actually the case, there are likely performance incentives, targets etc), then his pay is around £18.2M/yr. By the time this summer comes around he'll have two years left on his contract which is £36.4M in wages.
Even if we allowed Özil to go for free, is he worth that much? He's close to 31 yo and will have no resale value. My guess is that we would have to subsidise a portion of Mesut's wages, even if we let him go for free.

You have to pay Özil to leave, basically you give him any fee we may get for him. No club will offer him 350k becuase of other players so we have to pay the difference.

China is the only place where he might be paid what he's paid here but no-one can force him to go there if he doesn't want to.

Remember when you said there wasn't even a debate regarding my statement about our hands being tied by FFP? (edit: STCC)
On the podcast both DT and Robbie says we could not spend a dime as well..
Are you gonna say two guys with insider knowledge about the club is also wrong or?
