exactly, his wages comes with the circunstances he and the club were in.
Handling too many banknotes may be poisoning him.
if true - and some of Emery's recent comments about protecting him make it likely, IMO - it makes the recent attacks on him in Germany, especially from his teamates, even more reprehensible - kicking a man when he's mentally down is very easy, and unforgiveableThis post off of reddit is important regarding Özil imo and I have thought it for a very long time but never posted it as I know what some of you are like but here anyway.
'Honestly wouldn't surprise me if we find out one day that Özil is/was struggling with some sort of mental illness. This is happening way too often and usually after disappointing big games. I've had close family members struggle with this, so I'm not going to make light of this, but there's definitely a pattern here. If not, there's at least some sort of link between his psychological state and his immune system that seems to be prone to illness.'
Could be completely wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me either. There's only so much someone can take, no matter who you are and I'm not posting this as an Özil defence mechanism, but because sometimes you need to look deeper into things rather than just call him out.
Depression is far too easy to hide and far to easily ignored as well. I hope for Özil's sake he is actually ill, or his back is hurting rather than suffering from depression and not wanting to play the game he loves due to things going on in his head.
Again though this isn't a defence post, more of a post that people need to be aware that this could be a case. The amount of times he's been called mentally weak may of finally broken him and actually caused mental weakness, pray this isn't the case though.
I've posted it a few times before, but if anyone feels down about anything I am always here for a PM and we can talk!
I think supporting him if that is going on is the right thing to do but if that was/is the case and the club know they need to stop playing him, he should make a statement and could actually be a good role model (hell he's normally very happy to put himself out there on twitter etc, he's not exactly a shrinking violet come on) and he should take a break from the team.
And yes either way we got done over with the contract lol. Not his fault if hes ill but it was the splurge to end all splurges and we should have done due diligence.
The club were desperate to make a statement that things weren't falling apart and since Sanchez wanted out the Özil extension was the strongest message.
not risking moving to a new club might have been a deciding factor in renewing - especially if he thought Wenger was going to be around for longer
I didn't think you were blaming him, I was just saying I don't blame him either.
