Poor meszut ozil

Poor chap, all over national sports press about he is not in Arsenals squad and cant play for his circa 300k per WEEK salary.

He is whingeing about a lack of loyalty it seems. Really?

Anyway, are we supposed to feel sorry for him?
Ffs.

He should read the recent threads on here for some perspective.

Arsenal wanted to keep him and offered a contract extension. (I thought £380k a week but whatever). He trains and is happy to play but they haven't put him in the squad for the Premier League or Champions League. I can't see what he's done wrong. Similar to Bale at Real Madrid really. Appalling decisions by the club who  then try and annoy the player to see if he will walk away from his contract. I'd happily play with the U23s  until the last day of my contract.

You can't blame players for signing massive contracts. The blame is with the clubs paying that stupid money.

If I was earning £60k per year and my boss was treating me badly, giving me minimum wage duties to do but the only other jobs available to me were for half the money, who is the mug? Me for putting up with it or the employee for under utilising me?

Both make good points and I am not defending arsenal, or madrid regarding bale. It's just when the player moans it seems a little daft. I get the point you cant blame the player, but this scenario was always likely, signs a deal, new manager comes in,  doesnt fancy the player, player not keen to leave....stalemate. zzz

Similar situation at Man U with Jones, evidently only just signed something like a 4 year contract and Solskar hasn’t picked him for his squad.

As has been said I can't see what Ozil has done wrong, obscene wages but if that's what he's been offered he isn't going to turn it down is he, would you?

And he offered to pay Gunnersaurus's wages

As someone permanently on show, it reduces what they can earn when they do move on. Ozil has been criticised for a lack of workrate though so I do understand some of the reason why this may be happening to him.

This kind of thng is exactly why Bennett is here.

But your assuming just because he’s on 300k a week he can’t be anything but happy.

Whatever he’s paid doesn’t remove his right to complain about how his employers are treating him. Maybe he actually wants to do his job and play football. Or maybe he doesn’t like being scapegoated (which is where this all started some time ago).

As someone has already said, we’re quick to blame the player for taking the money but most of us would happily do the same given half a chance. The ridiculous amount of money at the top level isn’t the players fault, they’re just some of the lucky beneficiaries.

Has hardly torn trees up over the last season or two has he? Looked a proper mardy twet when he has played, hardly made himself a first team pick as a result.

So ruddy bloody brave
