Ideally it would be good if we could play him whilst waiting for him to piss off but he will not f**k off if we play him for obvious reasons.
ATM him and the club are playing poker, who will win I don't know he obviously has the upper hand though.
If we get rid of ozil and do f**k all in the transfer market then fair enough having a go will be merited, for now accept we have to accept we are in a transition phase.

You need to provide a source for that with some reliable insider info otherwise it's just a theory. Freezing Ozil out makes no sense because your taking him out of the shop window.
If the club wanted to sell him, it's a simple case of offering him to other clubs and telling Ozil he's not wanted here and we're looking for a buyer.

Mate thats bollox like I said!! If we were even close to having a wage cap issue why would the club give him a £350k per week contract just 1 year ago!!!

It's all speculation on my part but it fits the bigger picture. Arsenal are in deep financial crisis at the moment, which may have prompted the club to save money wherever possible. If we're looking to offload Ozil in the summer, and cutting costs is our objective, then it makes sense to play him as little as possible to avoid paying him bonuses for appearances.

Furthermore, Suarez can play across midfield and is a key player in a much better team. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets more assists than Ozil.

If he thinks a West Ham 3-pointer is less valuable than a Chelsea 3-pointer, he should be coaching somewhere else.
Can't imagine keeping Torreira, Ramsey on the bench, and playing garbage Xakha and headless chicken Guendonzi in their place.
