da betcris： It was meant to be the night he wrote his name into Arsenal legend and finally won over the hearts of his harshest critics, but Mesut Ozil didn’t even turn up.
da spicy bet： The divided number 10 yet again unimpressed in what was arguably Arsenal’s biggest game of the decade, vanishing the moment the whistle blew for kick-off to when he casually strolled off the pitch 77 minutes in for teenager Joe Willock, who did more in 13 minutes for Arsenal than what Ozil had managed over the course of a few weeks.
The German has had his worst season ever in north London, falling out of favour with Unai Emery and only putting in a whopping one good performance for the club this campaign, and if the final wasn’t a clear enough indication, Ozil has to leave Arsenal this summer.
Signed for £42.4 million, it will take a miracle for the club to move on Ozil this transfer window with his astronomical £350,000-a-week contract anchoring down Arsenal financially, but even if the Gunners were to sell the German and pay a portion of his wages, it will still be a risk worth taking.
The signing of Ozil was once heralded as a changing of the times at Arsenal, but nearly six years down the line, it has proven to be nothing but a step back for the club and a saga that has damaged the side’s long-term plans for a return to football’s elite.
Renewing with the Gunners was one of the worst moves the club have made in years, and now Emery faces the task of trying to shift off a player a who is now not good enough Arsenal.
Arsenal fans, should the club sell Ozil this summer? Let us know!
