Ex-Arsenal striker Marriner: “How did Ozil win deal over Alexis or Ramsey?”

Former Arsenal star Paul Marriner has questions Mesut Ozil’s contribution to the club. "I'm dumbfounded why Arsenal would let [Alexis] Sanchez go. Sanchez, when I used to go to Arsenal to watch him play, he was phenomenal," Marriner told the ESPN FC podcast "It didn't pan out so much for United but they let Sanchez go, they're letting [Aaron] Ramsey go for nothing! What's going on? And with Ozil, there's something going on with Ozil that we don't know about. "Arsenal decided to put all their eggs in one basket with Ozil, right? But what's Ozil done for the club? Absolutely zero! Zero. "Yes, he's a fantastic player, but he's got to get fit. He's never fit! There's something going on with this kid that we don't know about."
