The ire directed at Arteta is misplaced

Arteta and Ozil played together Arteta’s final two years at the club. He knows better than most what Ozil was versus what he is now. I agree it’s a football decision. Ozil isn’t what he was 5 years ago and it’s wishful thinking that he’ll repeat his World Cup form. Being left out of the Europa and EPL keeps his status quo as an expensive distraction, and a reminder of terrible financial decision making by club management (which is still an issue with money seemingly wasted on Pepe).
