Correct. In the end, it's yet another Gazidis **** up. He **** the bed as Sanchez was leaving at the same time. Özil made the best use of it and landed a bumper contract.

Finally.
Danke Mesut for your performances on the pitch. But if you want full honesty, you were straight up a bad employee.

It's unfortunate the way the last few years have gone. Thanks for your contribution to this football club.

Yeah but I doubt it was a Gazidis decision. The way Wenger handled Özil was embarrassing too.
Gazidis is now running my 2nd fav team at the top of Serie A table now.

From the excitement of signing you to how it ended up is quite sad. Thanks for your part in helping us lift some silverware.
The less said about that contract the better but still a shame we couldn't see more of you this last year. All the best Mesut.

This is the thing, the club panicked with the Özil situation, having let Alexis go to United we needed to make a statement in keeping Özil. In reality Özil probably never actually intended going anywhere and was using the contract situation as well as Alexis leaving as leverage to get the deal he ended up getting. It was typical of the mis-management which went on at the time, add that to Xhaka, Mustafi, Perez, Kolasinac, Lacazette and how we'd go on to appoint Emery, bringing in Raul and Sven too people with incredibly different philosophies in building a club, Sven of course having different views to Emery too.
Good news it'll stop the unrest off the field and free us wages and space in squad.
Thx for beautiful 6 years at club mesut good luck in turkey

Thanks for the 2013/14 and 15/16 seasons. Some of the best football I’ve seen us play post Highbury.

I dont think he has been treated very well the last couple of years, he deserves to move on. Imagine being told you’re left out for “footballing reasons” while being the best player at the club 
Good luck Mes, the kind of player you want to see play for Arsenal

The problem was with Sanchez going we were forced into keeping Özil, they were our two marquee players and to lose them both at the same time would have been disastrous for the image of the club.
I don't blame the club for that, he effectively had us over a barrell, what I do blame them for is if they had sorted the contracts a year earlier like they should have I'm pretty certain both would have signed for around 200k.
You would have thought we would have learnt something as a club from the Van Persie fiasco.
Same thing with Saka, we should have offered him a contract as or even before he was promoted into the first team, he would have cost like 30-40k max.
Instead we wait for him to explode, contract running down and end up paying 100k or whatever it is and tbh we're bloody lucky he signed that, he could and probably should have gone somewhere better.

Özil in full flow was a sight to behold, he has given us sone truly beautiful moments. We must have saved some money on this?

I'll believe it when I see it on Arsenal.com
This situation is an embarrassment for the club, and will do nothing for their reputation to players across Europe. I hope serious lessons have been learnt from this as a result.
