Because with any contract agreement both parties share some level of responsibility, as I said Ozil has not met the responsibilities that came with earning £350,000/week. Instead of top performances we got sulky moody man.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
he never deserved 350k a week in the first place though, we made a mistake and we're suffering the consequences of it.

It was not his fault he was given such a contract,blaming him for what's going on is just a diversion from the truth.The club has been mismanaged from the top for years.
It's idiotic to blame a player for taking on wages as Ozil, Bale and Sanchez have done. The people that offered them the contract are to blame.
As much as I'd like Sanchez off the books, I know we'd have to pay him off. Hopefully Inter do want him and we can come to some sort of deal.
Arsenal (and possibly Real) should be trying to do to Ozil as United have done with Alexis. You'd at least not pay all his wages, he'd get game time and a club may even want to take him on.

no different to Bale really, shame as there is a player there

This
Ozil does a lot of good stuff for various good causes. As I see it, Arsenal are funding that for the next couple of years.
Arsenal decided to pay him a ridiculous salary cos they were desperate for fan favour in a time when they'd just let Alexis leave to a rival. None of that is Ozil's fault. Blame him for not performing but don't blame him for taking his pay cheque and seeing out his contract.
He is settled in London with a nice life (apart from the odd armed robbery) which Arsenal have provided him. Anyone who judges him for taking a massive pay cut and move to play in a crappy league is completely delusional. Literally no player in his situation would do that.
One of wengers biggest mistakes was to give Ozil this contract. It was clear Ozil was going to be this way eventually, because no other club would willingly pay him above 150k right now. But in all fairness to him, he’s not causing any problems in the dressing room as one may if not playing. He’s going to retire soon, so why not wait it out.
He’s well past his peak, has had a glorious career anyway from his perspective.

But he'll always be remembered for what he doesn't do
Why did Wenger offer him such a massive contract when it was clear the guy was not making much impact at the club? That was a stupid decision. He has fallen out with 2 coaches now, they can't both be wrong. Clearly something is wrong with the player.
I doubt wenger would have specified his wage.
Glad we’re still blaming Wenger for stuff. At least some things don’t change.
There is zero chance he will be here next season. The toxic aura he creates just means he has to go. He will either be released or sent out on loan with the majority of his wages paid for. Keeping him at the club makes no sense

Wenger gave him a contract extension so we are perfectly entitled to blame Wenger for Ozil. Nothing unfair in that.

Remarkable, just remarkable. We all get that you wouldn't do it personally, christ almightybut a lot of top sporting professionals would indeed change trajectory, even if it meant a wage reduction in order to actually play the sport they love snd not just be a voyeur for another season yes, particularly when there's going to be virtually no change to quality of life, rich people you know sre likely not Premier League's highest earners rich.

Gareth Bale says hi
Özil is on £350k a week, nobody will pay him anything close to that, so we are stuck with him.
Not at the final, he's gone to Turkey, hope he's doing a deal with Erdogan to join Beşiktaş.

Gareth Bale situation is totally different to Ozil. He has actually been good for Real but treated unfairly and vilified by Zidane and the fans. Refusing to leave is him sticking his fingers back up at them.

No one has to. I am sure we'd cover the balance and release him. It will save some money. Problem is Ozil's attitude. Who is going to risk money on a player not willing to do the right thing and take a wage cut like the rest of the players did? Players have been outright released in Germany for that. Its a shame Wenger didn't think of those things when he made Ozil one the top 5 highest paid players in the world.
