I loved watching Özil at his peak, Rolls Royce of a footballer. Shame he didn't move last Summer as this saga has really tainted his story here.

Imo, it only tainted Arsenal.

Still a poor return from someone deemed to be one of the best in his position. Especially when looking at the previous seasons numbers.

18/19 Season

• 24 Starts
• 5 Goals
• 2 Assists

A shame as he was a good player at one point but that moment was very brief with us. Goes to show, talent isn’t everything. Hard work and mentality just as important.

Come on edu.
Get it done!

That time Özil let his mask slip in public:

18 games is more than enough to get a run of form going. 1 goal and 2 assists is pathetic.

Question 1
Have Arsenal played hardball with this situation, at least since the end of last season? Or would anyone disagree that Arsenal have played this quite hard?

Question 2
If you agree that this is quite a hardball tactic by Arsenal, what do you think is the strategy? Do you think that they are displaying their ability to play hardball, signalling to other players not to mess them around, not to call their bluff by slacking off and expecting to play? The benefits being sought are mainly for the future culture of the club? Or is it something else?

Really? Only Arsenal? So how come there aren't any big clubs trying to get his signature now?

Özil's performances at the club at the height of his powers shouldn't be discredited simply because of his lacklustre performances and commitment in the last couple of seasons, or because he was overpaid. He was simply spectacular in that 15-16 season, and he could've been the best performer on a title winning side had we been more clinical and that counts for something. He wasn't some flop.

That being said, I'm very pleased to finally see him leave the club. I dislike him due to his support for the corrupt tyrant ruining my country and his personal association with him, and couldn't quite bring myself to cheer for him after that support and association became public. Also glad that the charade around him being frozen out is over.

Had to pinch myself this morning to make sure i was not dreaming. Godspeed, and good luck to you.

Good job Edu. that will free us so much wages to make good signing.

Özil will earn total 5M euros a year at Fenerbache.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Wow this is excellent from Edu, we dont pay any more of Özil's wages...

Gif time?

I mean, it's a spanish report and a turkish source... the only way it gets less reliable is if John Cross tweets it.

If this is true and it's a big 'if' then he won't be involved this weekend vs Newcastle, let's see though.
