I never compared Özil to Xavi. I said their situation was similar. Özil at 31 is in the same situation that Xavi was at 35. But Xavi knew when to go. He left a massive contract and took a paycut to go to Qatar despite being on massive wage.Xavi is a legend and seen by most as one of the best midfielders ever by the time he was "finished"...... he had nothing left to prove and his legacy was already secured. If you suggest to other fans that Özil is a Xavi level player they'll almost certainly laugh at you. Özil's legacy is not secured and I still find it hard to believe he will get a pay rise in the Middle East.
My point was in reply to @GDeep™ post that no footballler can move to the middle East except he gets a massive increase in wages
