Sick of this ****. The transfer window is open.
Either sign up or get out.
You should be ashamed of yourself Mesut.

The stone that the builders refuse
The guy is about to sign the LAST big transfer of his career. He stands to get a signing on fee of many millions of dollars should he run down his contract. He holds all the cards and whilst his motivation or actions might be unpleasant for Arsenal fans, he's just doing what's best for him. What most people in his position either in his profession or not would do.

That’s just not true though. When was the last time a team’s best player was refusing to sign a new contract with 5 months to go?
What Özil is doing/what the club have allowed him to do is practically unheard of at top level football and it’s disgraceful.
Should never have reached this point. Either sign him or sell him.

Not sure how that helps you?
A) We are selling him;
B) It’s the same disgraceful incompetence from exactly the same club.

It helps me nowt but was just answering the bolded part of your post.
Look I agree it's damn incompetent on the club's part but I don't fault the players.

I completely understand Mesut that he hasn't signed yet. He probably is willing to stay, but he's been sold a proper dream by Wenger when he was signed four (!) years ago. What have we achieved since then?
I doubt he cares much for finishing as high as our squad cost.

The more I listen to the arguments from you guys, the more I realise that its not as "rosey" as its made out to be.
Could be walking as well sadly.

Remember when we were told by friends of Wenger, that Alexis and Özil will only sign their contracts if Arsène signs his deal.
Good times.

Nothing Wrong With Me
I think they wanted to know IF he was signing a new contract before they made a decision. Maybe he's the reason they haven't signed

December 31st was surely the latest date to put all our cards on the table and offer him the maximum, no way would you want to be up against City, Utd, Bayern in comparison.
If he hasnt signed by now I imagine he has seen and turned down the biggest offer the club is willing to make.
I cant imagine Utd playing by the rules and will find a way around pre contract negotiations.

There has been less talk about Özil from the press which suggests to me he is likely to sign a new deal than leave and go elsewhere.
Maybe he is waiting to see what happens with Sanchez and who we bring in to replace him before penning a new deal?

Do you mean this January or in the summer? The thing is, the more a player runs down his contract, the more money they are making. Either they get a big wage bonus from the competition of clubs or a signing on fee.
If any other top club wants Özil in summer and he hasnt signed, then he is gone imo. If a PSG, United, Bayern etc standard club want him they will offer a much better package than us and it will be down to whether Özil is cosy in London, and whether we show ambition (so basically the former would be our only chance). If we do manage to keep him we will have to give him a lot of money because he has nothing left on his deal, much more than if we were renewing when he had 2-3 years left. Poor management.
I think the Özil situation is just slipping under this Sanchez fiasco, but until he's signed thats a big issue as well. If he is still an Arsenal player and the Jan window shuts without a renewed contract, he's much much more likely to leave than stay imo

Why so serieuse?
He hasn't signed a pre contract with anyone yet. That should mean something

It's not Ozils fault. It's the jack asses that run our clubs fault. The reason no other club finds themselves in this position is because they sell the player long before they get to this point.
Only at Arsenal can I ever recall players being allowed to get in to this position. Some clubs may have it as a one off but we have it as a regular occurrence. Sagna, Flamini, Arteta, Rosicky all leaving for nothing in recent years. Now Özil, Alexis and Wilshere all in the same boat.
Ramsey, Welbeck, Walcott, Monreal, Cech and a few more lining up in the same boat for next season
