It's a pretty desperate situation for us, ain't it. We really need him to stay.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
No we don’t, we are as the cliché goes bigger than him, bigger than any player. He leaves, he is replaced, we move on.
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.

Still very much the luxury player at times. He doesn't always 'put in a shift' when we're up against it, so to speak.
His talent is there for all to see but I could never really take the rumours about him going to United as being serious. Maureen loves a workhorse and that isn't him.
istr Ozil was a much different player when he was at Real Madrid. Often very direct, running at (and past) players. Does nothing like that at The Arsenal.
Still, I suppose he wasn't surrounded by second rate ****ers at RM...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Wengerout ?
Mesut Ozil has provided more assists (42) and created more chances (407) than any other player*
*Since his PL debut
My recollection of him at RM was him having far more time and space on the ball than he does with us, and more options in front of him. Because he played with better players and in a league with less teams that offered RM any threat. In that environment I thought he did very well.
Before Mourinho substituted him on 70 minutes, of course.
