nah, players like Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo has little to no defensive responsibility and is given the freedom to fully focus on attack, but no one would consider them luxury players because of the difference they make, hell Messi probably walks 80% of the game..
Nothing wrong with giving Özil or anyone else freedom, but he has to deliver offensively to be worth it..
But clearly he isn't putting up the numbers Ronaldo and co are so a manager should tell him to put in that defensive shift to accomodate? Therefore making him non luxury right?
But then I guess if he's doing more defensive work he'll have less chance to put those numbers up?
Hopefully Emery can get the midfield balance correct to allow Özil that freedom.
