@TeleFootball @Matt_Law_DT wake up. Turn laptop on. Make up a story. Turn laptop off. Go back to sleep.

It is worth pointing out that Ozil grew up a Fenerbahce fan, he has been in Turkey looking for a house and despite playing for Germany he is an ethnic Turk. As a result he would face no language barrier and join friends and family living in Istanbul.
@HFooty @TeleFootball @Matt_Law_DT he supports Fener and has said he’s gonna go there one day.

Could Ozil leaving for Fenerbahce ever be forgiven by Arsenal fans?
@talkSPORT he’s not too good to play in turkey – he’s been poor for us and can’t produce in big games #OverHyped

Some fans thought it could be a good idea if the price is right.
@indykaila lets hope he get sold to them for a fortune and we can get real money for good fight CAM

Not everyone thinks Ozil should stay.

This fan is happy with Ozil leaving as long as it is not to Manchester United.
