Wenger can't use him, never could, never will be able to. What Wenger has built here is no longer compatible with the world's top players. Either it's our shitty, negative, plodding football or the fact we won't pay the wages for the top stars. If Ozil wants anything else from his career he'll have to go elsewhere (and I bet you anything he'll shine bright). Same with Alexis, if he wants to extract maximum return for the efforts he puts into his game then this isn't the place for him.
What Ozil and Alexis prove is that our transformation into a second tier club is now complete. The very opposite if what was sold and promised when we moved into this accursed stadium.
We'd best be hunting around in the bins now for a bunch of journeymen that plod their way to a CL cash reward each season. It's what Wenger wants and demands. That's why Welbeck and Peres are sitting it out. We don't need players like that. We need Coquelin and Xhaka, Elneny and Gibbs. Mustafi and Giroud. Giroud, the very definition of second tier. Walcott too.
Ox, Kos and Bellerin, they could do a lot better for themselves. They are too good for this team and this unambitious, coin counting, sorry excuse for a football manager.
