We’ve got to try and get rid of him and pay half his wages if he goes to another club, but even then it’s too expensive. ‘He’s got to be in a team that’s dominating games and he’s got to be on the ball as much as possible. ‘Without the ball… just no. He is definitely lacking, not even at the top level. Without the ball he’s not good enough. With the ball he can be good enough, but he has to be in a good team. ‘He was up and down like a yo-yo under Arsene Wenger. He obviously isn’t playing into the new manager’s style. ‘You play when you’ve got the ball but you also play when you haven’t got possession. He’s just not up to the standard that Arteta wants.’

All true as we know
If they're going to sack our beloved Mascot, then the least they could have done was promote Marty (Ozil) Feldman from out of the squad to the position of mascot! - At least then we'd be getting something in return on our £350k a week!

‘Mesut is still a part of the team and trains with us,’
‘He is absolutely professional, both on the pitch and in the changing room. ‘Obviously it’s a disappointing situation for him but Mesut handles it well and is absolutely loyal.’
Just a bit perplexed by the statements by arteta and leno this week about Ozil. He still trains with the first team squad, and arteta is not giving up on him...eh??? Dropping him from premier league and europa league squads and not playing him in the league cup doesn't sound like not giving up on him.
I do wonder what the hell is going on and that it must be destabilising the squad.
