Wouldnt mind if he went and we replaced him with someone that didnt pull out of every single challenge hes ever been put in front of.
He would be fantastic in a less physical league with GOATs in all positions around him, but his skillset is too niche for him to not be able to contribute as a goal / team press option.
Hes the only AM in the league that cannot live with the modern day all hands on deck requirements:
Eriksen
Firmino
David Silva
De bruyne
Hazard
Pogba
Etc all put in work to varying degrees over ozils output when they are deployed anywhere near false 9 or AM positions and it causes us all sorts of issues generally against teams that aren't afraid to be physical.
Hes not the biggest issue imo to our defensive shape (my constant crying about full backs should let you know how I feel), but hes next on that list of problems we have as a defensive unit.
Release the 350k pw and get some fresh blood in.
