Mesut Özil: Time to Move Ön?

[Arsenio Venger]

He has made his bed, and now needs to lie on it. Dual citizenship has always been a myth, it's not possible for someone to show loyalty to both Germany and Turkey. The DFB should have told him to cut out on his constant gushing for Turkey nationalism a long time ago.

Really? My parents are Dominican and Venezuelan and I’m born in the United States. You’d be a fool to think you can’t show loyalty to more than one country.

 

[Tosker]

Mesut knows some things transcend nationality and football

 

[Oh_Snap]

The longer it takes the more i admire how he keeps cool and just doesn't talk about anything regarding that. What a pro, what a winner. Basler, Matthäus, Grindel, Bierhoff etc ... they must be fuming so hard while Mesut bangs Ms Turkey in the sun.

 

[Camron]

I just love it when our players share in the happiness.

 

[Rex Stone]

Sky Germany claim Özil won't be selected again because of the picture outrage.

Same for Gundogan or??

Dual citizenship is a problem because of people like you. It's not our fault that you cannot understand how it feels to be connected to two countries. My parents are from Morocco, most of my family still lives there, I visit twice a year. I was born in the Netherlands, have lived there my whole life. I speak both languages fluently, got my degree in Holland, work in Holland, live in Holland. I love Holland and I love Morocco, and I am proud of having both nationalities equally. Its enough for both Morocco and Holland to give me citizenship so what gives you the right to judge the identity of others?

This, people who don't have dual citizenship have no right telling us how we should feel about our countries. This is coming from someone who has triple citizenship.

The fans should organize some manifistation of support for Mesut during our first game at home to show our appreciation!

Hope Özil comes back fresh and positive. If he comes back feeling sorry for himself and it translates onto the pitch I want Emery to bench him.

No more special treatment for the softies in this team. And no more getting the "flu" every couple of weeks either.

it's going to be a first real test of Emery's off the pitch management skills, that Wenger was so good at

the fact that Özil has been tweeting about non football stuff since Germany's loss suggests he hasn't gone into hiding

Debatable that. In the early years yes. Not so much in the latter when he began to molly coddle all the players.
There is a time to protect your players but there is also a time to put some pressure on them and Wenger failed to do that in his last uears at the club.

Probably still in contact with Arsène anyways.

 

[Tosker]

Probably still in contact with Arséne anyways.

oodles of fatherly sympathy from Papa Arsène and loads of hard workouts from Emery and his boys might hopefully turn out to be an excellent combination to get Özil firing on all cylinders again

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Don't think Wenger failed to put pressure on his players in latter years. He just didn't and never did in the press.

Sanchez and both Özil his two biggest characters both improved under Wenger imo.

I think people always like to imagine Wenger as soft but I think his man managing skills are rivaled by very few in the business.

 

[krackpot]

Emery been talking about Özil, wants to work with him in a new way.

All of Özil, Xhaka and Ramsey are pretty bad at one on ones, which is a concern.

 

[Lenox]

Can't wait til he leaves tbh

Maybe a collection, tenner each eh?

Maybe a collection, tenner each eh?

Mesut would probably double it and donate it to the kids without future foundation. Our sweet prince! <3

He probably would actually. Maybe worth a shot in that case..
