The facts in that article are widely agreed on, yet you can argue their inferences.Even in the world of football journalism and punditry, where you see all kinds of idiotic writings, this one stands out. I am hard-pressed to remember when I last read such forced, imagined, detached from reality pile of bullshit. Why is NYT wiriting about association football? They don't have any clue about it. And how do these people have jobs commenting on football? They should be making appointments at a psychoterapist's office, trying to address their chronic paranoia.
Ozil is where he is because of Ozil, and nobody else. If anything his support for Erdogan has hurt him more than anything he said about China. But if he played well, none of that would ever matter.
Ozil is Arsenal's highest paid player by far (38% more than PEA). They are lacking in creativity in the center of the park and desperately tried to refresh that area in the summer. However bad you might think Ozil is, Arsenal simply don't have any player who is capable of doing half the job which he can do. Look at their squad and they have only one other AM if I'm not wrong. Ozil being out of the squad for 'footballing' reasons doesn't quite fly, especially when Arse might struggle for top 4 again due to missing a creative spark.
