2. Sell Mesut Ozil
This is a hot-button issue right now in London, and with Arsenal supporters all over the globe.
Mesut Ozil‘s talent is undeniable, but it is becoming rare that it is displayed for the world to see.
By making £350,000 a week, the German is the highest paid player at Arsenal and is one of the top paid players in the entire Premier League. His performances, more often than not, do not match the price tag.
It is fair to say that Ozil’s contributions aren’t always measured by statistics you see on the score sheet, but lately he isn’t even passing the eye-test.
New rumors in the London papers are that Emery would be willing to part with his starting CAM, if a suitable offer is made.
This must be the first bit of business Arsenal attempt. If the disconnect between Ozil and Emery is real, then Arsenal must try to get as much out of a team for his services as they can before it becomes a public fight.
Tensions were already at a boiling point during the Chelsea match after Ozil was subbed off, and things could get worse if this is allowed to continue without resolution.
The team probably will not get the price once thought. Ozil’s poor performances of late have surely hurt his stock in the eyes of potential suitors.
At this point, Arsenal must take the best offer and reinvest the money in the club to fill the other holes in their lineup.
Arsenal must sell Mesut Ozil.
