Nah. I'm past that. Özil is no longer here.Wait till @Oxeki shows up, might push our Gagan over the edge.
Me and GD are best buds nowadays, so I want it to stay that way.

Mesut Özil: 2019/20 PerformancesThe only time I think he's been legit pissed off on here.
A full on tantrum. You could read the tears in his eyes
20 years? China has already has TikTok installed on every teens phone in the western world, destroying their brain cells with each passing video.He got dropped straight after China. We got banned from their tv and got reinstated a little later when it was clear we dumped Mesut. You can’t deny the connection.
Just wait another 20 years when the west is dancing to every tune of China and India.
It's unreal how someone made a career out of a 5 letter word called P-R-I-M-E.
Recency bias.Like how many seasons of his career was he either extremely good or legit world class, idk like 8 or 9? Seems decent to me, why judge only on the last 3-4 seasons
He was never world class at Arsenal. He had some very good moments but he peaked early in his Arsenal career. The story of his career. Early peak, couldn't sustain it, in the end expendable at Madrid, Arsenal and now Fener - both us and them paying to get rid of him.Unreal? Isn’t it fairly common. He was world class then he fell off, I don’t see what the big issue is, not everyone has longevity.
I doubt anyone we have signed recently or will sign will match what Özil did in his initial season. Yet a lot of you will be singing their praises.He was never world class at Arsenal.

Even his best period at Madrid is overshadowed by their success after he left.

A talented player no doubt. World class? Not for me.
Id agree with that but with a massive caveat Özil came with a higher pedigree than anyone we've signed recently. There is an expectation that an asisst machine signing from Real Madrid for a club record fee has an impact. The closest in recent times is who? Jesus and that's simply because he is coming from City. Aubameyang? In the past Alexis would come close in terms of pedigree and id argue he had a better debut season.I doubt anyone we have signed recently or will sign will match what Özil did in his initial season.

I don’t even know what this is other than revisionism and a desperate attempt to discredit a one time world class player. A lot of us wanted the contract extension at the time.
None of these guys at the club would get anywhere near that Madrid side where Özil was chief creator.
You would wish a corrupt puppet all the best? Nah mateA shame if played out this way, he was a class player for us. Wenger really was able to extract the best out of him.
I suppose seeing the people issues resurface in Turkey, is it hard to blame Emery for the decisions he took re Özil at Arsenal.
Anyway, wish Mesut all the best. Excellent but ultimately a troubled player.
No you're just chatting massive amounts of sh*t I'm afraid, don't know how else to put it.Id agree with that but with a massive caveat Özil came with a higher pedigree than anyone we've signed recently.

Recency bias.
If/once he retires though I’m sure his stint in Germany and Madrid along with his international career will be discussed more.
Even the impact he made initially at Arsenal I highly doubt anyone we sign for a while will have that, even though people want to mock him.
Sure i am Özil was a talented player, world class? Not for me. How youre getting triggered by a fair debatable point is beyond me.No you're just chatting massive amounts of sh*t I'm afraid, don't know how else to put it.
Actually look at what gets produced at modern Arsenal and what passes for good now before you say such things.
