Aubameyang And Ozil Ended Their Arsenal Careers The Same Way – Mark Lawrenson

Ex Liverpool defender, Mark Lawrenson has come out to say that Arsenal was right to let Aubameyang go. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it was very clear that Aubameyang was a rotten egg at the club, and he obviously down tooled after getting his huge contract.

Mark added that the Gabonese situation was exactly like that of Ozil, and they both had to go.

His words, “Occasionally you get a rotten egg, such is life, and you only need one in a dressing room,”

“It is like Groundhog Day for Arsenal, look at Mesut Ozil, it’s virtually exactly the same situation. They handed him an unbelievable contract in terms of salary and the length of the contract and it’s as if he down tools and I feel the exact same way about Aubameyang.”

“I think Arsenal have done well on getting him out of the building because Arteta can now just concentrate on the players he’s got to work with.”

“There was an opportunity there for Arsenal, but even without the January transfer window you look at Arsenal and after a while, you go same old Arsenal,”

“They will win a few games, go unbeaten for seven or eight games and then go get turned over by somebody. I just don’t think there is great mental strength in that team and I think therein lies the problem.”

“There’s a lot of ability, but they keep having a hiccup and if you want to finish fourth in this league, then you can’t afford to do that.”
