It seems like both club and player are playing a game. Özil comes out and does what he does in regards to the mascot to show he's not greedy after the club leaked his name in terms of who rejected the pay cut. Now the club have briefed the media saying they're looking to cancel his contract so that if Özil refuses knowing he's not gonna play at all then it starts to look like he only cares about the money. I'd love to know if at any point during the summer if Arteta, Edu, or whoever actually told Özil he should look to find a new club. Because the only real evidence we have is Arteta saying everyone starts with a clean slate.
All in all the whole thing needs to be resolved swiftly so everyone can simply move on. The club progress without the constant attention drawn to a guy who's not even on the pitch, and Özil can start playing football again somewhere else. Let's hope we get there soon.
