Give him a new contract
Pretty sure the club would be open to this. Simply very few takers even at a reduced 100k outlay a week I would imagine.Couldn’t we just cut our losses and allow a loan or transfer in which we pay a portion of the salary? Even if it’s 250k a week, we’d still save money on this lost cause.
I would rather see him warming the bench for the reserve team with the occasional garbage time sub appearance.Couldn’t we just cut our losses and allow a loan or transfer in which we pay a portion of the salary? Even if it’s 250k a week, we’d still save money on this lost cause.

Are you saying that the club should punish him for daring to speak up for the Uyghurs, people who are suffering terrible injustice? If anything we should applaud him for it. Needing to clear his wages is a different matter though.I would rather see him warming the bench for the reserve team with the occasional garbage time sub appearance.
We also need to make sure he is never again involved in first-team training.
Never mentioning him again on the website even when he leaves the club is also something the club will need to consider because of the damage he has done to our brand in Asia
To be fair to Özil, he did step under Arteta before the pandemic. And by that I mean his effort on the pitch. Sure he wasnt scoring assisting but he did run and press a lot more than he did under Unai Emery Etxegoien.
Thats not to say I see him turning this situation around. As it stands he’s blocking us financially but what can you do?
now this is really imaginative.Only way he leaves is being paid off or someone spikes his drink with cocaine or a PED so he fails a drug test and his contract can be terminated.
Yes, I'm saying that. He can terminate his contract with us and he can do whatever he wants without our club being involved in any of his politics.Are you saying that the club should punish him for daring to speak up for the Uyghurs, people who are suffering terrible injustice?

How does one come to a point so low that your own clubs supporters want to spike your drink, make you fail a drug test to cancel a contract?
A better idea is to just imagine that he doesn't exist for a season. job done!

Yeah. For someone elseIt'll be like a new signing...
Such a shame for this to end so poorly. I can't recall anything quite like it here.Imagine that... we've just done all our business and then at the last moment we announce we've paid the slime ball off and he's gone... Unparalleled scenes.
It is a lose-lose for the club except that the chat surrounding this issue will stop. Knowong us, the amount we'd pay the buddy would probably buy us Mbappe.Its such a lose-lose situation for the club, pay him in full to leave or pay him in full gradually whilst he takes the piss for 12months and then leaves anyway..
If I was Stan Kroenke with all my billions and also being petty as **** I'd hire someone whose sole purpose is to annoy him on a daily basis, like a buddy who just follows him around all day in training and does things to make his daily life difficult, tie his shoes together whilst hes out training, shave his hair if hes asleep on the plane, cut his internet line so he cant play fortnite, nothing too bad just kids stuff..
I'd even pay a ****load of money to create a new training centre 300miles away from London and book up all the accomodation in a 100mile radius just so he has to drive in traffic to get there, the only other person who would be at the training centre is the buddy above who I hired to annoy him!
8.3billion can go a long way!
I honestly don't think he'll go elsewhereIf we are willing to buy out his contract, cant we just loan him to a club and pay like half or more of his wages or does no club want him even on reduced wages?
It is sad. I don’t like seeing it end badly for any Arsenal player. It’s like a failed relationship—you know it has to end and there may even have been some unsavoury exchanges, but when the dust settles, you look back at the good times, and there were some good ones.Such a shame for this to end so poorly. I can't recall anything quite like it here.
