Mesut Özil (Out)

[L3T5 PL4Y]

Yeah, some truth there, but I'd have preferred a playmaker all-action all-around striker like RVP alongside Alexis, Özil, Cazorla.
That'd have been fun !

Put Auba in Cazorla's place and Santi with Partey in midfield. Easy couple of league wins.

Also I can't be bothered to check if this tweet is accurate but if it is it's pretty damning. Özil was supposed to be the start of an era, competing with Bayern etc etc, and Alexis is the only player we recruited to play with Özil who was at the level we were supposedly aiming for. Responsibility has to lie with Wenger and Gazidis for that.

Arsenal scouts need to go on trail for war crimes, don’t think any other team signs this many sub par players. What was Arsène meant to do with this lot?

Squad building that's barely good enough for our opponents this evening.

You can say what you want about Musti tweeting that (not clever) but it does paint the picture that there was nothing anyone could have done about his banishment because it was all political.

He bought these players tbf. And the thing that annoyed me was he went after the same profile of players that proved to be ineffective before and against the balance of the team. Better choices at the time would have made us title contenders.

Related but also on a bit of a tangent.

I was thinking the other day how ridiculous it is when people moan about our scouting over the last few years, but also slag off Edu for restructuring our scouting department and sacking a lot of the scouts who were responsible.

We've made some terrible signings over the last 5-6 years, heads needed to roll.

The official announcement cant come soon enough.

That’s what I was saying when they got sacked, it was about damn time they were stealing a living.

Arsène never bought players, managers say the profile of player they want and it’s up to the scouts and executive guys to get them. This was on the scouting team.

What stupid timing to tweet that too blaming your teammates to not assist Özil hours before today game. Mustafi is not only stupid on pitch but off pitch too it seems.

I’m reading that like it’s a dig at Arteta myself.

Can imagine after we missed out on Vardy the scouts sat Wenger down and said they had the Spanish version who’d be available for slightly cheaper.

Whoever recommended Lucas Perez shouldn’t work in football again. Appalling signing.

yes it's about whole club but he should just shut up it's not like he was assisting Özil with his parody defending.

I hate that prick with a passion.

Unfunny w*nker. Oh great you’re posh we get it.

 

[celestis]

Whatever happens...I hope it finishes with Balague and Morgan getting severely beaten, Mustafi too.

Deserves a beating for his part in the Fabregas saga.

perhaps Özil asked for a loan to tide him over and his team mates all refused

In before the lock. Goodbye Mesut. Some fond memories but sadly not enough to shed a tear.

What about a guy like Lucas Perez? Francis Cagigao told Wenger not sign him but he did it anyway?
