Özil is clearly a foolish man, happy to adopt double standards when it suits his agenda, and probably as an attempt to divert attention from his pathetic level of application on a football pitch.
On the one hand he talks about disliking being referred to as a German-Turkish, and on the other hand he finds offense in people not respecting his Turkish roots which he openly embraces. He also exhibits an obvious level of stupidity at being confused as to why he's not accepted as fully German (in his perception) when he's so quick to bang on about his Arabic religion, the want for dual-citizenship, and the posing for photos with the leader of his country of origin; a country with whom Germany have a rocky relationship.
Sure, he's happy enough to take all the advantages Germany have offered him. Perhaps he could actually make an effort to give something back, rather than this 'oh, woe is me' nonsense when things don't go his way.
Hoeneß is right. The NT are better off without him. And Arsenal would do well to get shot of him as well.
Your word in bold print is key.

The only thing I don't understand is.. he is proud of that he is from Turkish descent but when Germans call him German-Turkish he seems to be offended.
On a football perspective, yes he has been always lazy but his face expressions don't help him either, he always looks uninterested. But that's not his fault, he looks that way.

Ozil's agent offers stunning response to 'foolish' criticism from Bayern president Hoeness
Gotta love when someone talks shit about Uli

Stupid comments from Uli. It's very unfortunate that people attack Ozil for his performances, justly or not, because it allows him deflect from the real problem.
And the real problem is that he did this publicity stunt for Erdogan. Even if we assume he's a complete moron, which isn't hard to believe, he has a PR team. He could have issued an immediate apology along the lines of "I didn't realise it would become political", "I couldn't say no to photo", "I am dumb, I don't know any better." But he didn't. And the fact that he didn't, plus the timing (before the elections in Turkey), plus the "to my president" t-shirt (I know it was the other idiot, but they were there together) means that he knew very well what he was doing and wanted to help Erdogan.

Die Özil and shitty agent pls
@DAiDEViL and our German friends.
Ozil is arguably more German than Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling are English; Zlatan Ibrahimovic Swedish; and Thierry Henry French. Yet no one ever refers to them as anything other than English, Swedish or French - and nor do they themselves.
Is there something in what Ozil is saying, or does he bring this all on himself do you think?
