**** all the Özil haters and Arteta shills in this thread. Not Özil's fault that Arteta won't start him. This is just a nice gesture from him and you idiots are flaming him ffs? I don't see the others helping the mascot
I think Özil isn't lazy on the pitch as shown in his statistics. Please don't ask me to go and find it for you because I know it would be useless. Most people on this forum and the internet in general double down on their opinion and don't want to go over the subtleties of issues. It really would be a waste to argue whether you believe he is lazy or not. I sometimes wish there was a way to have a bit of nuance and a decent conversation over the internet but unfortunately, people go more and more in their corner and defend it with their lives.
I think what he just offered is a dig at arsenal who told players that they needed to take a paycut and still let 55 people go without much explanation and tried to use the head coach at the time to convince them and reason with the player. He has done a lot for arsenal PR wise in many of his charities but I can see that this one was calculated and potentially ill intent. I hope for the employee that it allows him to keep having a living while fans are still not allowed to be in stadium. I think that's what is more important here.
Do I think Özil would be useful right now for the team while we wait to get somebody else in? Honestly, he would do wonders for this team since Partey came to the team. He would have that freedom that he had a few years back when he had coquelin and cazorla behind him and a great trio in front of him that can bury his chances and are clinical.
I think it's a missed opportunity from both sides and I hope he plays. He would really contribute to the creativity of the team. We have lacked a lot of creativity and have produced less chances since he stopped playing for the team. I think we are more clinical now and we would bury the chances he would help the team create.

That’s not Özil.The cynic in me thinks if he really cared and wasn't all about the publicity he would have just paid the wages and kept quiet about it.
I think people who say this just do so to feel good about the rumors they choose to believe.
No evidence to support
- laziness
- arrogance
- doing the minimum.
The evidence is to the contrary actually, from team mates comments and his actions.
I like how people expect him to waive his contract terms, for what reason exactly - so they can be happy. why does his own happiness not matter? why should he bend over and be ****ed from behind because the management want to treat him badly. The same people that say he has weak mentality will say he's being stubborn and refusing to fall and die. You've got to choose one story, come on.
Virat Kohli, pride of India. Apprently bored. or stoned. or both.
