I can understand his agent trying to spin this scenario as he still has to turn out for us each week, and on that basis needs supporters on his sides, however at this point of proceedings it is very difficult to see him staying.

If he really wanted to stay it would have been sorted in the summer, now it is definitely within his interest to see out his deal and see what is on offer elsewhere.
Oh, I get that, from Mesut's point of view. But I reckon we, or at least Wenger, would be bitterly disappointed if he left. After all, didn't he essentially say he would stay if Wenger did? Özil is still our jewel in the crown, after all. Certainly one of them anyway.
