Mesut Özil (Out)

[TakeChillPill]

I'm pretty sure Özil wasn't in the fa cup final or playing in the community shield for 19/20. Don't know why the photo is implying he's won it four times.

 

[TakeChillPill]

The no.10 should be put on hold until there is a player worthy of wearing it. Last player who performed whilst wearing the no.10 was RvP, before that Bergkamp.

Full money ?
I once loved Özil, but this money hungry idiot has no sympathy left for me.

I wish one day you get fired and don't receive the full money you deserve according the contract you and your employer signed. Then an idiot say you are just thinking in money and being greedy.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Thanks for the memories, but it is time to say goodbye.

I'm awaiting the aeroplane.

He can prove his so called love for the club by accepting a pay cut this time around.

 

[Jackie_Treehorn]

Im in tears at that. :rofl:

Even funnier than I remember. A player scores a hat-trick and gets met with pure anger.

The guy managed to rattle literally everyone

Damn why’d you have to put mine right next to @Trilly’s cry for help

He isn't getting fired, he's moving to a new club NOW.

Ever since the news came out that this could have some real legs, this whole thread has been about 'what ifs'.

He's one of the most talented players to play for us, but in 5-10 years, in terms of memories, that goal against Ludogorets. I'm not sure I'll ever remember an assist unless it's outrageous. He was a ridiculous talent though who just didn't do enough here.

I'd support this if the Kronkes agreed to give away an equal proportion of their shares.

 

[MikeVinna]

I don’t think we have a player worthy of the #10 at this point. Maybe Saka but he has 7 which is a pretty great number. If we buy a playmaker give him the number.

 

[Riou]

Leave the number for a bit, see if someone like Smith Rowe can earn wearing it.

Speaking of numbers, always wished we retired the number 14 after Thierry.

Mate, the bau content of the Özil thread is mostly speculation. The printed transcripts of the ‘why was he dropped’ theories alone could fill the Emigrates stadium.

What's sad about this is that he was once a fantastically gifted player. Inconsistent, but one of the most technically gifted players I've seen.

Seemed to just lose the hunger once he signed that contract. I fear we're seeing the same with Auba.

I back Auba to bounce back. If we continue attacking like we are he will get his chances. I was questioning him a lot until recently as he looked like he wasnt bothered- if you're out of form and can't score at last make some runs and work hard to stretch the opposition.

However against Brighton and especially West Brom, although some people would say he had bad games I would say I am starting to see the same attacking patterns I associate with Auba. He has been making the right sort of runs (back post for crosses and also running down the channel).

Auba is the last guy who's gonna be that fighter when the team is completely bereft of confidence, he needs the team firing or at least creating chances for him. I hope that he eventually grabs a couple goals.

F**king contract. Was it Gazidis again?

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

He's going to bleed us dry here financially. Gazidis or whoever gave him this contract deserves jail time.

Paying up £7m ish for the rest of his contract should be enough to be honest. He'll end up having made £50m+ off us since signing that contract, no-one can tell me we've got anywhere close to value for money out of it.

I'm sure he could manage to waive the loyalty bonus. Given how much he claims to love the club I'm sure he wouldn't want to be excessive in his financial demands given everything that's going on this Coronavirus in football.

 

[field442]

Is the £350k a week figure one of those ones when they add in appearance fees and bonuses? I wonder what the actual base salary is.....
