MESUT OZIL will leave Arsenal if Arsene Wenger stays, according to reports in Spain.
Has to be bollocks.
I feel more sorry for the younger players that have wasted a lot of years. Theo was the first of a botched experiment. Gibbs, Wilshere, Ox and Rasmey are the others.
Ox is still young, Wilshere and Ramsey have a little time to turn things around but Theo just turned 27 and Gibbs is up next. It's looking bleak for them. Theo especially. Bought to be developed as a striker but is no mans land. Not a winger. Not a striker. He'll end up like Podolski and Wiltord. Maybe worse.

Ozil responds.
Of course it hasn't changed, Ozil. It's impossible to change if he was the reason you joined.Have seen the media reports today. Arsène Wenger was a big reason for me joining Arsenal – this hasn’t changed! #Respect #AFC![]()
It would be pretty ironic if Ozil left because of Wenger.
What a horrific message that would send out.
Are any players in a hurry to sign their contracts these days? Seems like they all run them down to the last 6-12 months before they'll even think about talks - gives them a stronger position to negotiate.
Call me an old cynic, but I'll bet this is more about strong-arming themsleves a bigger cut of the new TV deal than anything else - chuck enough money at any of these players and they'll go / stay anywhere...
