Ozil oh Ozil. I think we can all just agree that this geezer should be sent to reserves to see out his contract - What a team player! Get rid!!

Don't be fooled. Ask why is he being singled out? 7 players were said according to reports to have refused to agree to the pay cut. Now these reduced to 3. And of the 3 why is it only Ozil's name that's being mentioned. I smell blackmail.

It says very bad of the club for such info to be leaked. Very very bad indeed. Whoever leaked that info must be punished and sacked. IMHO.

Yes, he is obviously being singled out here and the club really wants to be rid of him but when the team comes together to make a decision for the betterment of the club and the highest earner at the club (with one assist and one goal so far this season to show) decides not to be part of it. That is a rotten apple that needs to be discarded.

How do players earning less than him feel about taking a pay cut to invariably pay his (Ozil) full wages?? The optics are just so bad!

You are being emotional and thats fine, but look at it from Mesut's perspective. This is a job! Mesut is not from North London, London or England. He didnt offer himself the contract. Arsenal did. In fact, when the contract was being negotiated, he didnt hold a gun to Wenger's head of the head of the Arsenal negotiator. Furthermore, when the contract was being negotiated, Arsenal took into consideration, the full circumstances of every and all things that could happen, including bankruptcy. If the tables were turned, will Arsenal five Mesut a 12% increase in salary? Both parties negotiated a deal and both parties were happy with the deal. Its that simple


Secondly, I am shocked that after many decades of watching football, you guys still think players should be loyal to clubs. When last did any club show any loyalty to a player? There is a story of an Ajax boy who collapsed 2 years ago and was in a comma. His contract with Ajax expires in June and Ajax has said they will not renew it because the boy's career is finished. A boy in his early 20s. Do I see anything wrong with Ajax's position from a business perspective? No! They have no contractual obligation to renew the contract. Did you or anyone say anything about Ajax? No! This is not the only case, there are many cases of clubs throwing players into the toilet at the earliest opportunity. Now, you want the players to sacrifice for the club???!!! And we are even talking about a player, Mesut, who has been insulted and maltreated by the club, fans and the former manager? You must be having a laugh!

I know Arsenal is your life, but Arsenal is clearly NOT mesut's life. If you like Arsenal that much, please send your salary to them.

And for Arsenal to bring this to the media to shame him and force him shows everything you need to know about that horrible club and their values. it will never be well with that club!

All to all you said above that 3 players refused to take the cut. Yet only Mesut name was leaked. Who are the other two? And why were their names not leaked?

This is not the Arsenal we all know.

My bro, i read somewhere even the academy players are complaining about the payout. Ozil is just being singled out all for asking to know more about what will they use the money for and their other financial commitment.They are not been totally upfront with the players.

So glad we are rid of this clown. Where is his houseboy sleaky or whatever he calls himself.

WHILE ...
the world is showing more respect and tolerance in the midst of this horrible pandemic you choose a worthless tabloid article as an opportunity 2 throw out childish insults.
This behavior speaks more 2 the kinda person you are.
I won’t stoop down 2 yer level.

Your beef is with the Sun - most read daily paper in the UK - that you're above the level of the Sun is good for you but do we have to know about it!!!

Mesut Ozil's agent on the realities of coronavirus for players and clubs

Dr Erkut Sogut reminds us that we don't have a collective bargaining situation with the EPL. Y'all already know our club's gone totally agbero trying to use the media to force a man to take paycuts. Kinda tough going after him on Charity cos since Kanu(& the massive Heart work), it's tough to find another Gooner who really does as much as Ozil does with Charities worldwide.
EPL clubs working deals w/o agents involvement will be trickery down the line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the Man's charity work over the last few yrs:
paying for 1,000 vital operations for children across the world
feeding 100,000 homeless people at 16 refugee camps in Turkey and Syria
paying £240,000 to fund operations for sick kids in Brazil
---------------------------------------------------

@SamJDean: Worth remembering that, at this stage, all the agreements are verbal. Putting it into writing is another leap forward, which will involve agents, small print etc. Might not be as straightforward as club hope.
Arsenal pay cut situation is not black & white. Different players have different motivations. What is clear, though, is that some people involved are very uncomfortable with the way it has been done. Much harder for some players to say no to Arteta than for others, for example.
----------------------------------------
Those of you who swallow all that clickbait about transfer targets need to leanback - we ain't cutting down on expenses, getting less from revenue streams to buy big names - don't know when the EPL returns but i don't expect much change in league positions - I expect it to be a buyers market & prices will come down compared to previous seasons. main thing people's is stay safe & abide by the COVID-19 rules in your area.
Better 6ft apart than 6ft under. ONE!!!

That's nice did Arsenal win the league after that? I haven't kept up with football much since then.

We mightn't have as many players at the elite level as we once did - we can count on Jollof & fufu to hold up their end of the deal!!
