He's gone from playing with world class players fighting for titles to playing with also rans.
...he was exactly the same amongst the German team that won the World Cup though.
Good job Germany didn't need him to excel then.
Does he look motivated to you though?
Definitely not. I think it's his problem though, as opposed to it being because of the quality (or lack thereof) around him at Arsenal.
He's taken a step down regardless of the quality Arsenal have and I think this doesn't help his motivation levels.
