Now, if you were a current Arsenal player, aware of the internal politics and sentiment among fans and staff, you'd probably think that a quiet text to Ozil saying goodbye and good luck would suffice.
But you're not Shkodran Mustafi - who has presumably weighed up the aforementioned elements and decided 'Hmmm, gonna do it anyway' and has penned a heartfelt and contentious message to his compatriot on Twitter.
In a post dedicated to his friend, Mustafi lamented the treatment of the playmaker and praised him for being "unselfish".
He said: "Bro, you have been the most unselfish player on and off the pitch, I have ever shared the dressing room with. You will be always remembered as the assist king. Unfortunately we as a team haven’t been able to assist you when you needed us the most. All the best."
Unsurprisingly, this hasn't necessarily gone down particularly well with Arsenal fans, who were quick to jump into the replies.

One regular day of Arsenal. Is all we ask. Will never happen.
