true...I still believe if we had Jose back then...we would have bagged the CL final that’s life though
Not being part of Arteta's plans isn't his fault though. Plus, even though he's a lazy **** I'm surprised someone like Arteta who worked under Pep hasn't tried using Ozil to be Arsenal's version of de Bruyne/ Silva with regards to main playmaker. I'd imagine he'd have happily left by now too if someone were willing to match his wages or if you guys were willing to subsidise a large portion of it to potential a buying/ loaning club. Same with us and Bale, deal never would've happened if it weren't for Madrid agreeing to still pay around 60% of his wage. No way were we gonna pay £600k a week, not that we could afford that anyway, lol.
Best thing is he's had probably the opposite effect to what most expected. He's getting the best out of Kane and Son whilst our attacking play is looking fluid when we're "on it" but we can't defend for ****
i said before the season started that there would be some weird results , particularly early on , this season due to the lack of pre season and Covid . Mind you i'm not sure weird really does the present madness justice .
For all his talent, Ozil is a lazy **** on the pitch too and that’s why Arteta doesn’t want him. He wants grafters and players who will work hard for the team. That’s the opposite of Ozil who needs players around him to do the dirty work for him. That £350k contract was a big mistake, but at the time he had us over a barrel as Sanchez was about to run his contract down and the club knew fans would be spitting feathers if they both went on a free. Anyway, he’ll be off next summer so we can finally move on and spend that money on a player who actually works for the team.
I find it incredible that literally no one came in for him tbh. Whoever agreed that contract deserves tasering.
Ozil is the equivalent of Chelsea’s Winston Bogarde. A complete ****ing time waster. We were paying that **** 40k a week but Arsenalbank were paying how much?
Mate everyone is when it comes to what Madrid pay some of their players, lol. £350k a week for him to have a front row seat at games. Madness.
