Ozil refuses to part with any of his £350k per week - bless him, don’t know how he would cope losing 15%

Or alternatively Ozil refused because they wouldn’t say what they would do with the money. Arsenal are owned by billionaire Kroenke who could make up any shortfall in a heartbeat and the club is financial sound. Ozil has given millions to charity and said he would be willing to take a reduction if it was clear what it was for.

Come on puzzler that’s not fair, you should know that footballers aren’t able to have a brain of their own and should be the answer to the governments problems.

So Ozil earns more in 12 hours... Yes, 12 hours, than I do in a year. 
Strange how some players have morals when it suites them?

He earns a great deal more than that, you can at least halve that, 100k per tweet I read somewhere, I'll try and find it, Ozil earns far more from outside football, than he weekly wage from the Arse, apparently Arsenal getting 250 million for their last kit was in no small way due to signing Ozil. I suspect it is his manger, for some reason, rather than Ozil, along the lines of, you do well out of us, you be careful.

From what I’ve read Ozil does an immense amount of charity work throughout his life, if he took the decision to choose where his salary goes then why not.

I wonder how many company CEOs and high paid city traders are being outed in the media for not taking a pay cut to help their multi-billion dollar employer maintain profitability in tough times?
It must be loads because the same kind of moral dilemmas apply and our media wouldn't just be shooting at easy targets to deflect from the real issues at a time like this would they? *sarcasm emoji*

I don't have a problem with the footballers.
If someone said to me do you want 200k a week and I managed to hoik that up to 300k, good for me. It is nobody's business what I do with my cash.

Don't get me wrong WS, I think what top end footballers earn is obscene but no more so than what CEOs and traders and film stars and so on make. It's wrong on a fundamental level but it's the way the world economy operates and I don't think footballers should be singled out for opprobrium because they're household names unless the other top earners are too
