Arsenal could've handled this so much better. Instead they let the rumors fly and now have a player accusing them of being Islamophobic.

Arteta's explanations about effort in training never made sense when he essentially builds the team around a woeful Willian. On top of the team's attacking performances continuing to be horrible viewing.

Always difficult to phase out big players past their prime but this was a trainwreck. From the start Ozil has been allowed to control the narrative


I really don't know the ins and outs of the situation but when you have these guys who are past it and on very high wages, the only way to get rid is to pay apart of their wages and let them play somewhere else. The question is where else does he want to play, where else wants him and how much of his wages are they willing to pay. Not many teams can even pay 30% of his wages, especially if he can't elevate the team on the pitch.
