Özil should be saved for Europa League, domestic cup matches and home games against relegation fodder.
Thank youHis absence has obviously been linked to the security threat. The club declare him sick to not draw negative attention and press, feeding back in to precisely one of the contributing problems and creating a bigger side show.
His family were moved away. This is a pretty traumatic thing to happen. Honestly Arsenal have some of the worst fans sometimes, and there's a big ****ing glut of them in this thread like moths to a flame.

He’s still a good player to have at the club, strength in depth is needed to compete on all fronts. We know he is better than what he showed last season.
So what exactly do you think happened?No, it's not obvious at all. You're just making stuff up to suit your own narrative. He was in the stadium... The club could have said he had a strain of some sort. They didn't have to say he was 'sick'. It all points to the truth, but so what anyway? Why would anyone not want to believe a guy who has a terrible 'sick' record, was sick?
Oh his ability is negated by his wage? I didn't realise it worked like that.Not if he’s eating up 350k a week.

That’s a separate debate.Let’s say he’s earned approx 80 million since he was awarded his new contract. What have we got for that? Against Leicester last season he was sublime - this is what Özil can do.
Now ask yourself, since the new contract, how many times has he delivered anything in that ballpark of that performance. Hopefully now you can understand why people are constantly conflating his wages with the prolonged lack of form.
That’s a separate debate.
Bringing up his wages in response to somebody talking about his qualities on the pitch just makes no sense.
There is no link between player wages and their ability. None. It’s just a pre-agreed amount of remuneration.
Agree! Even those of us that have become negative about Özil would love him to have a great season. If he could start delivering performances that justify his wages I for one would be happy as a pig in ****!I’m sure every single poster here wants Özil to have a good season.
