I am sure that he probably never trained in between game for Arsenal and Germany. He basically just showed to games and played or stayed at home when he feels like. He has been on vacation since he became a footballer, what other vacation does he need? Wimp! Right?

Basically he's not only got rid of Enya, he's put her head on a spike outside the training ground

He didn't, everyone is given 4 weeks. Given they play all year might be nice to have some family time eh?

Ozil is 29 now. almost 5 years wasted. What if we got a wc striker or DM 2 years ago, Ozil and Sanchez would have won EPL title and Sanchez would have extended his contract.

Theo was a very average player, even worse than Welbz imo. So happy we got rid of him.

Theo, Giroud and Welbeck wasted too many easy chances Özil created for them.
We would have won the title instead of Leicester in 2016 if we had a better striker and Özil would have easily broken the assist records in one season then.
Özil has better days to look for next season with Auba, Laca and even Perez.

People here forgetting Theo was looking like a true Wenger success story until his ACL injury in Jan 2014 killed his pace and finishing. His 21 goals in 2012/13 (and Podolski's 16) were exactly what we needed after RVP left and the lamppost arrived.

People here nut over Giroud's scorpion kick goal, but I have yet to see a solo goal of this quality from an Arsenal shirt in the last decade. Nasri v Porto comes close though.

But Ozil's sh*t though? :think:

We've never had a midfielder who has the consistent vision and delivery of Ozil, he literally specializes in it and trash fans at this club take him for granted.

Yes he does sulk sometimes but if our dross up front couldn't take advantage of your passes then it must feel like banging your head against the wall.

Now we have Lacazette and Aubamaeyang ......... can't wait to get a season of this with Ozil under Emery, if Germany don't want him then hopefully he'll want to be even more at home with Arsenal.

Mkhitarayan, Lacazette, Auba, Ozil, Torriea, Perez, Ramsey etc

Can't wait for this season and Ozil needs good players to take advantage of his creativity I can honestly say he has that now.

mesut is one of if not the best final third passer in football history

And he chose Arsenal and gave his prime years to us - just like Bergkamp did. At least DB10 played for the best manager in world footy at the time.

Ozil tho. GOAT <3

I actually appreciate him a lot more now, after the real elite guys like ronaldinho, henry, bergkamp, zidane, xavi, messi, both ronaldos and a few more he is up there with the best from the last 20 years
