So let me get this straight: in the last days of the window Özil is informed by Madrid that he's surplus and won't be a starter, and is free to leave. Effectively pushed out the door, he agrees to join Arsenal for a massive fee.
The move is not popular with fans, so a fews days later the club decides to control the public relations fallout by leaking against Özil to drag him through the tabloids.
If Real Madrid CF was a man, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
