After numerous conversations with @Arsenal fans today over the Özil issue, I& #39;ve one big insight: We Arsenal fans need to have honest conversations with ourselves.

Question every bit of what the club is doing, as much as we question Mesut.
Think logically. Why wouldn& #39;t Özil play?

It& #39;s not forbidden. Ask yourself.

WHO leaked Özil& #39;s name selectively out of the 3 players who refused to voluntarily contribute?
WHAT have the @Arsenal board & Kroenke& #39;s contributed for the staff?
CAN Özil turn so bad in 3 months that he doesn& #39;t make the squad for Carabao Cup?

We get manipulated. We miss subtle details. And it& #39;s us fans who are used as PR pawns by the board trying to act innocent on this issue.
This is NOT anything like the @Arsenal we know. The club& #39;s culture is being torn apart.

Lastly, WHY sack Jerry Guy publicly?
Ask yourself.

If you try a power-play on Özil expecting he& #39;ll just leave, he won& #39;t. He actually gives a damn about the club. Unlike Stan, who starved Wenger of any money for 9 years.

Mesut& #39;s camp is rightly using a tit for tat game-theory ploy. And @Arsenal are losing it. Deservedly so.
