Reports on him being off now.
Its good if he goes rather than playing. Don't think a top player deserves this treatment. Which club plays Iwobi over Özil, well thats our new manager for you.
Its so sad we couldn't get the best out of this Genius
I suppose laca will be off too in Summer.
We will have no top draw player once he leaves except Auba now
Such a sad situation.

Alot of noise about Emery wanting Özil out, not sure how i feel about it.

I don't understand why he was given that enormous contract when Sven and Raul were already at the club.

Is there any way the club can opt to not pay his wages?
Özil isn't fulfilling his contract he doesn't deserve to be paid.

I'm guessing it was about whether we let Özil and Sanchez both go (which would have harmed our status as a big club), or keeping one of them at all costs.
He trained all week, it's not like he's gone on strike. If Emery chooses not to play him, that doesn't mean he's in breach of his contract.

I don't see any top teams wanting Özil unfortunately. So i think we're stuck with the 350k wage bill until further notice.
And if Emery doesn't think Özil is the type of player he can afford to "carry" then so be it. I also think that Özil is not the kind of player who's going to accept being a substitute, so i can understand Emery's decision to simply leave him out.
This situation really sucks...

yes it is, his main job is keeping our best players performing, he is not doing that.
Different personalities, We know Özil does not like competition, he just wants to have a good time and play with freedom.

Looking at the creative output in the West Ham game I really cannot back Emery's decision to leave a fit Özil out. He is the creative dynamo of the team and he was sorely missed. Özil might not be the easiest player to deal with but Emery should do a better job in managing him. Without a Ramsey/Mkhi/Özil in the starting lineup this team doesn't stand a chance to win anyone.
I agree, but that's not the same thing as coddling him. It's actually a disrespect to Özil to suggest that he needs that kind of treatment.
For £350k a week he'll need to do a bit more than that

Don't care what anyone says, Emery has handled this whole situation terribly.
With Emery showing his hand in this, making it obvious that Özil is not wanted, along with his high wages - there is no club that will pay us a decent transfer fee. We'll be lucky to get around £20M?
Who do we bring in that can improve the team for that money? We would be better off keeping Özil.

Only Man United and Inter were interested in him when he was available on a free, so the effect this situation has had on his value is negligible. Chinese clubs are the big players here, although we don't know whether he'd be willing to go there. The club rejected a £26m bid from a Chinese club for Lucas Perez in January 2017 when he was barely playing, I'm sure they'd go for something similar if they could get a big name like Özil.

it looks as if Emery has told the heirarchy he wants to free up Özil's wages to bring his own choice of players in, which doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't rate him
the battle of wills might be between Emery and the board rather than Emery and Özil

What players? Yes Özil is on high wages, but Cech, Koscielny, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Welbeck and Ospina are also on good money.
Emery likes to play 4 2 3 1 and we have the best pure number 10 in the world. So why doesn't he buy 'his' players to fit around him.

I think that Özil will play against Chelsea, while Emery is trying to find our best position on the pitch.

Because contrary to popular belief, Sven and Raul aren't gods. Barcelona signed more than their share of duds (a few of them from us no less) with Raul at the helm.
They were brought in to improve our transfer business but its naive to expect perfection.
Also, tell me @American_Gooner is joking about that Perez offer from China. I refuse to believe that the club is so incompetent to refuse an offer like that for a squad player only to sell him for pennies on the dollar a season later.
The Times are reliable

This club............ We could have just taken the money and bought in a young player for half the price or promoted some kid from the academy.
Who turns down almost 30M pounds for Lucas Perez? That 26M pounds would be our second highest transfer fee received I think.
Thanks Gazidis.

Why would he? I doubt any manager wants to discuss such stuff with the press. That's the best explanation for me why Özil isn't on the bench anyway, it reminds me of the Martinez-Nainggolan case.
