Arsenal fans should help him
Absolutely shameful from the Arsenal hierarchy Covid is over they should offer him his job back and more but that’s if he wants it
Ozil offered to pay his salary man said he would do it for free
Fans off all ages love gunnersaurus
Such a unclassy move by Arsenal. No appreciation to ur team loyal servant
i think ozil offered to pay his salary if they kept him that year
I was beginning to have a liking for Arsenal, but it seems that this video popped up at the best time. No wonder they have never won anything significant, what an embarrassing management of the situation
Give him his memorabilia and his life time pass back then arsenal will win something
I get giving back the costume, but how can they ask him to give up memorabilia that’s been given to him 🤷🏼♂️
Disgusting by Arsenal.
They did Ozil dirty too. Instead of protecting him they threw him under the bus. Only money matters to these people.
As an arsenal fan this is the worse moment… The fact where we pay players millions I bet we are paying him peanuts.
That is shameful from Arsenal
cant believe arsenal fc would do smth like this… also i thought ozil paid his salary or something….
but what a small club vibes, really sad.
Imagine being an arsenal fan
Well.. now that money isn’t an issue. Give the guy his job back. 2 and a half decades of working at the club bringing happiness to fans and staff and you treat him like that? Shameful.
I wish now the the effects of Covid are starting to wane, they would bring him back and give him his memorabilia .
History…Class..Tradition
Disgusting.
Gunnersaurus is a just a ceap rip-off of VfB Stuttgarts Fritzle. All the prem can do is buying the worlds best players, runinig them and copy what is unike in europe. 🤮🤮
:'
The fact that hé needed to give back hos memerobilia collection is the wirst😢
Embarrassing small club
I say bring him back his memorabilia. Arsenal fans unite and protest the hell out of this. If this is not a cause to fight for then I don't know what is!
Casually leaving out the part where Mesut Ozil offered to pay Quys entire salary but he was also kicked out of the team
It's not even shocking. Arsenal has zero class and has the dumbest fan base in the world.
Yeah this is bad.
As an arsenal fan, this is very shameful.
Arsenal really sacked the best thing about the damm club 😂
Good God, that's sickening. And arsenal probably blames Ozil for them being shitty to a man who dedicated his entire adult life to the club
They should be ashamed of themselves
Canning gunnausaurus to cut back on expenses and dropping 60 mil on Havertz…
Why tf did they take his memorabilia??… or is this clickbait and they bought it off it for an agreed price?
Embarrassing Arsenal!
Met Jerry a couple of times hes a avid lawn bowler, such a lovley fella
Arsenal fc. The most jewish team ever ripping people off
Absolute joke of a club. Let the man work.
I get giving the costume back, it's like a work unicorn, co property, but memorabilia, look depends on what exactly that is, but programmes & tickets, photos etc should be his
I remember Ozil protesting Arsenal decision on Jerry
Disgusting from my club
classic arsenal
Arsenal were totally scummy throughout the pandemic. Shat on their lower level employees.
When Özil dunked on Arsenal by offering to pay his wage.
Well what can we expect from so called "big club".
Didnt Ozil pay his salary after they sacked him
If there isn’t enough reason to clown on Arsenal more then this is another 😂
Absolutely 💯 disgusting 🫣 by the Arsenal board!
Who was sammy the shrimp?
Why would the need to take his memorabilia? Are they gonna sell used item to people?
Thats fcked up! GIVE HIM BACK HIS STUFF! HE'S A CLUB LEGEND!
