He also sat around on a year doing nothing when the club clearly wanted him out. Personally, i wouldn’t lose a year of my career.

See this is the one thing I don’t understand about the Özil fanboys. Why the self-flagellation? I hear these comments suggesting Arsenal fans deserve humiliation because some Arsenal fans don’t think of highly of Özil as others?
I love Özil, and I still do to this day but I don’t love him enough to wish for my own club’s downfall. 2nd September 2013 was like Christmas and my birthday wrapped into one and I’m grateful for the time Özil spent here but let’s also acknowledge that he had problems. He doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone else but let’s stop putting this guy on a pedestal.

Not really sure why Özil gets the kid glove treatment really.
In his prime he was a phenomenal player, if a bit peripheral at times. Such an elegant player to watch. Maybe best in the world in his position for a spell.
Seeing a guy with that level of natural talent go through the motions and play social media PR over producing on the pitch is hard to take, particularly when he should have been in his prime years. This is not even bringing his wages into it.
Players like Özil should get the harshest treatment from Arsenal fans precisely because we know how good he was and could be if he wanted to be.
The more ability you have the more you should be pushed to maximize your talent.
The likes of Elneny or Jenko or whoever, you can't get annoyed with. They're average footballers giving 100% they're just a bit crap. Not a lot they can do about it.
Özil his latter years here was the exact opposite of them.

Being unhappy with a certain league position isn't necessarily a reason to cause disharmony. *****ing and complaining when things don't go right might be one way, but it isn't one I would choose. But to everyone their own I guess.

We have the same reasoning among some of the Wenger fanboys. Just because he wasn't loved enough by some and treated well by all Arsenal fans deserve humiliation. It's posted a couple of times a day by some posters. Must be some post puberty fanboy logic I cannot figure out.
Country: England
Yeah, I’m not an Özil fanboy tbh.
What I said was what I said, I laugh at fans that pretend we’ve progressed somehow since all these supposed cancers like Wenger and etc left. I’m allowed to laugh at two 8th placed finishes in a row.
As much as you guys try to put this on me because I don’t agree with some of you, I don’t wish things on the club. It was you guys who bumped the thread to celebrate a man’s downfall long after he’s left the club not me
Country: England
Nah watching this, this guy was the best thing to happen to us in our entire Emirates era period and I won’t hear otherwise.
God bless this man. Completely forgot about this guy, thank you AM for reminding me of the good times. The final WC player at the Emirates.

Wallahi I’d trade all 8 years of Cesc’s Arsenal career for 1 more season of prime Özil, we might have won something serious.
Almost broke Henry’s record with donkey Giroud upfront that’s superhuman tbh.

Can't blame him...Özil is the best there is, the best there was and best there ever will be.
What is this blasphemy
Country: England
Not really just remembering the good times when he was actually allowed to play.@Macho going all in on Mes these past 2 days
I don’t think this club will ever sign a superstar like that again.

You are right though, I preferred Sanchez too.

We were only 4 points away from United in 2008, plus we got to our only Champions League final in 2006.
So we were closer to winning something major with Cesc, tbf.

Looking at the finishing from his teammates he must feel right at home.
Your man went from playing with Modric, Kaká, Xabi Alonso, Essien, Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain and Di Maria to playing with Coquelin, Wilshere (injured), Cazorla, Ramsey, Ox, Rosicky (injured and 32), Walcott, Giroud, Sanogo, Podolski the next season. Yet people expected him to deliver better than he did.
That the thread is still going strong is ridiculous given the reason it got bumped in the first place.
Özil's playmaker, not a goalgetter. We surrounded him without the quality up front that he needed to finish the chances he created.
Place Özil in the teams we had pre-Emirates and it would be a very different story.
Country: England
2015/16 Özil was an absolute joy to watch. He made trash like Giroud and Joel Campbell look half decent.
Just our luck that we couldn’t manage to pair Özil with a top striker like RVP or Luis Suarez.
Only real recognise real quality.
Like comparing apples and oranges, man. They were great at each their own part of the game. Can't compare them like that.

Auba was a big signing, tbf.
But in terms of all-round ability, mixed with that big time feel...could he a while before we get someone to match that Özil/Sanchez period.

I disagree, two attacking players can never be like apples and oranges (imo). Alexis could take a game by the scruff of its neck, something Özil more often than not lacked
