How's his "slight" injury coming along I wonder?Arsenal are set to listen to offers for Mesut Ozil in January to avoid losing him for nothing.
The development opens the door for Inter Milan to swoop for the Germany international during the winter transfer window after club chief Erick Thohir admitted the Italians were 'definitely' interested in the playmaker.
Anyway, this is the ideal situation, as well we know. Who will we replace him with? Could it be somebody called Jack Wilshere?

I think it's kind of obvious that Ozil's not really injured ....... and tbh good on the club and Wenger. I've been calling on Wenger & Gazidis to be tougher on that shitlord for ages now.
And the noise coming from those ITK was that the club legitimately tried to flog Ozil this summer but there were no interested parties. No one was willing to pay a fee, even a reduced one, for him which is indicative how underwhelming he's been for us all things considered. So I don't see why we're going suddenly going to get a plethora of takers with six months left before he's available on a free.
It'll be Iwobi/Welbeck mainly though I honestly wouldn't mind giving Jack time in Ozil's position for the rest of the season ..... albeit they were absolute filth, he did look reasonably sharp offensively against Bate Borisolv offensively .... but this has to be predicated on him committing his future to us. I'm sick of enabling players to whittle down contracts by refusing to be ruthless with them. Want serious game time Jack ..... well then sign a contract.
And any rate given Jack's injury history, new contract or not we can't rely on him as a long term solution - so I think a replacement is essential in the summer ..... probably Draxler assuming he's not content to waste his career rotting on the PSG bench being a spectator to Mbappe, Neymar and Alexis (yes I think he's going there).
We're going to lose Ozil and Sanchez but in truth I'm not as fussed as I should be, these two would be great in a quality team that can utilise their talents but in our team the reality is they're a long way from their best, we've got a number of players just getting ready to walk away from the club so in reality they don't really care too much about results.
I'm about as indifferent about any of our players leaving as I've even been, the truth is that players can come and go but until the manager changes it won't matter, whoever we sign won't elevate us to be challengers, the fact I feel so indifferent about two of our best players leaving just shows how underwhelming this team is, even the star players don't really fill me with excitement, because well, the club is so stale.
I don't really care where we come in the league right now, because the reality is we're just papering over the cracks, whatever we achieve we always know it's the bare minimum to keep Wenger in the job and the fans content.
I saw on AFTV they asked why there's no atmosphere at our place, whereas the atmosphere at clubs like PSG (who also have a lot of new fans and foreign fans) is rocking, simple answer, PSG and other big clubs generate excitement for their fans, we are the kings of boredom, nothing changes, it's the same repetitive rubbish year on year for as long as I can remember. Who can really remain optimistic when you have that every year, this club is very unique, the only big club in the world where, the bare minimum is acceptable and where achievements and fan statifaction doesn't matter at all.
This recent run of wins really means little, average performances, scraping wins just as we have been doing for years, no champagne football, no putting teams to the sword, it's all so predictable. What fans want to see if big wins like the Manchester clubs (and Spurs) are delivering, something that shows you're not just churning out narrow wins every game and genuinely look like a good side.

The replacement will be nobody, or at least nobody that's useful, because once Ozil and Alexis are out the door the final nail in the coffin in terms of our ability to attract quality players will have been driven home. Kroenke and Wenger have relentlessly reduced the status of this club and, unless Wenger does the decent thing, we'll continue sinking deeper down the order as a destination for genuine quality.
One silver lining as we watch our stars fade out, Wenger's position as the top earner at the club will be secured. That's a very good thing indeed. The most important thing I think.

Very important point, this club doesn't give a flying fuck about entertaining the fans. In fact Wenger goes out of his way to stamp out all traces of entertainment. Wouldn't be surprised if he drops Alexis for giving the fans something to watch in the second half against Brighton. I like the way he subbed Lacazette when he was on a hattrick a couple of weeks back. I was really nervous there for a moment that we might see something interesting and the player might pick up a bit of confidence, but Wenger acted swiftly and I was grateful for that. I liked it against Brighton when we had finally developed a bit of control and were starting to play watchable football, in spurts at least. Again, Wenger was on the case and rolled out Bif, Theo and Elneny. Slightly overkill if you ask me, Bif alone would have been enough to eliminate the momentum. But better safe than entertained.

Ozil to United is doing the rounds again.
A media thing I suspect. Maureen and Ozil reunited . It writes itself and must be irresistible to fat, lazy journalists. There seems to be some substance to Inter.Ozil to United is doing the rounds again.

But Ozil is lazy and ineffective. Why would they want him?
