He's not smart, not smart at all, absolutely clueless perhaps but not smart, a smart man would simply not make the ridiculous decisions he does.
I'm going to throw Ozil into that category as well. The introduction of both Xhaka and Ozil has created more problems than actually solving. The tall has been on how best to get more from them and forget about what the team actually needed.

Buying a CM that can't tackle or dictate our flow of passes from the midfield was a mistake. Buying an attacking midfielder who has done little to increase the potency of our attack was also a mistake. We needed a tough tackling DM and striker that can score 30 a season. Now we're having to find ways to bed in players that we didn't need in the first place and don't compliment the other players around them.
