Not even Mikel can motivate the man. Flamini should be on the staff. With his business sense as well, he can replace Edu. Who would've known the true Wenger replacement was him all along?

Can't wait till his contract expires next summer and his fanboys follow him wherever he goes
Country: England
Wenger called it as well.
Clubs are starting to demand silly money that just isn't sustainable (Zaha, Sancho etc) but players are also bending over clubs for wages that they can only justify by playing at a world class level year in year out (Özil, Bale, Sanchez). Its all ****ed.

She’s former miss Turkey, acts in turkish drama’s, much more used to the jetset lifestyle than Mesut. Just had a baby too. Leaving London for the desert? No way.

League is very weak
Xavi went there when everything in Europe was finished for him. Özil still has nearly 20M sitting for him in London.

Look at this, I’m sure he could get another club anywhere for another year, but he’ll have to take a wage cut though, which he’s probably to willing to do.
No difference between this, Bale and Özil.

Xavi was earning 15m at Barca. He left Barca when he still had one year left in his contract because he knew he won't be a starter. the following season.
He took a pay cut to play in Qatar. It seems he currently earns 10m P.A currently.

Because he got a new big contract in Qatar which was going to be worth more in the long term.

So if he turns down an offer to move to the middle east for more $$$ will people still claim he only cares about $$$?

Not dissimilar to Özil's current situation, is it?
Xavi infact took a paycut to go to Qatar. But the Qatari are promising to give Özil an increase in wage and it's most likely going to be a 2-3 year deal. If waits till contract expires, they'll offer him less money.

Xavi was 35 when he moved to Qatar. Özil is 31.

You only leave more money on the table when you're giving a guarantee of more over multiple years...

But their situation is/was more or less the same. Özil is a bum and is finished. Xavi was also finished. He was not a starter and so he had to leave with one year remain on his contract.
Besides, Özil is mentally retired. Özil is the equivalent of a 35 year old footballer now anyway

Xavi is a legend and seen by most as one of the best midfielders ever by the time he was "finished"...... he had nothing left to prove and his legacy was already secured. If you suggest to other fans that Özil is a Xavi level player they'll almost certainly laugh at you. Özil's legacy is not secured and I still find it hard to believe he will get a pay rise in the Middle East.

Xavi at 35 >> Özil at 31

Özil is too comfortable in London. He won’t leave even if he’s offered more money elsewhere. I don’t normally encourage getting on a player’s back but for Özil I make an exception, he’s made it Özil vs Arsenal and he’s disrespected Arsenal legends like Keown. Not worthy of respect. Club wasn’t ruthless enough. Make him train with the reserves, make him uncomfortable.
