Really dont' think there is any issue between Areta and Özil at all. This is a club vs Özil thing and Arteta has to be united with the rest of the club management.

He's smart, he knows he has a lot more grace with the fans than the board does.That is probably so. But going by Arteta’s PC comments, he’s taking full responsibility for the decision to keep Özil out of the team. Arteta’s essentially asking fans to blame him for it, and hasn’t deflected anything on the board.
That's why the club hasn't commented about Özil at all.Really dont' think there is any issue between Areta and Özil at all. This is a club vs Özil thing and Arteta has to be united with the rest of the club management.

Yes. It was so fascinating. He pretty much said that football and results are his responsibility and his alone. This was a bigger and a more general statement than required in the context of Özil but it clearly shows that he is ready to take responsibility.Arteta placing himself in the firing line regarding the Özil situation is something which fills me with confidence. He must be confident in his own ability to do well and make the fans happy in the future if he’s so willing to face the wrath of sections of the fanbase in the short term, as a result of it all. I’ve no concerns.
I come here to bury Caesar not to damn him with faint praise.
whatever..! tell it to someone who gafMan, I don't envy the women/men in your life, if visionary, someone we should all love, and lovely man feels like faint praise to you, you must be very hard to please!
The only thing unique about Wenger's situation is that he still got top 4 even though he was spending bottom half of the table between 2005 and 2013, then the highest he achieved was 5th in the squad spend.Well, this is a rather facile argument, because what manager spent 15 years at a net spend fifth club wages third-fourth club? Wenger's situation was entirely unique in the premier and in all of football, any other club of that expectations sacks him long before he finishes those 15 years.
When you look around football, and see what Simeone, Klopp, etc. did in developing projects under similar adverse financial circumstances (or much worse, in the case of Simeone), you see what a real top manager can do with a real proper project at a club like this.
Unfortunately Wenger just wasn't that in the last 5-10 years of his reign. Doesn't take away from the love we should all have for him, the visionary he was in his earlier era here, and the lovely man he is.
What about Poch at Sp**s? Or Leciester when they won the league + in recent seasons, or even Wolves. I'm curious if they outdid their net spend rank.The only thing unique about Wenger's situation is that he still got top 4 even though he was spending bottom half of the table between 2005 and 2013, then the highest he achieved was 5th in the squad spend.
Atletico were spending 3rd in their league and their finishes since Simeone at 5,3,1,3,3,3,2,2,3 are about what you's expect.
And Klopp in Germany was at the 2nd richest club and finished 6,5,1,1,2,7 with 3 serious outliers there.
Phenominal stuff. Then we all know what happened when the fans tried to take him out 5,6
- Wenger 3,1,2,2,2,1,2,1,2 when he had money
- Wenger during stadium build, bottom half of the table spend, 4,4,3,4,3,4,3,4, . . remarkable
- Wenger moving up to spending 5th in the league 4,3,2
don't forget about pashun and attitude.‘Non-negotiables’ > Squad cost.
You’ll see us rise up the table in no time guys. Just relagz.
We'll read it all in his book My non-negotiable life in Red and White.Really dont' think there is any issue between Areta and Özil at all. This is a club vs Özil thing and Arteta has to be united with the rest of the club management.
