Gunnersaurus - Lord Snooty - 06-10-2020
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has offered to pay the salary of Jerry Quy, the man who plays the role of club mascot Gunnersaurus.
On Monday, the Gunners announced that Quy, who has been part of the matchday experience at Arsenal for 27 years, was one of 55 redundancies.
“I was so sad that Jerry Quy, aka our famous and loyal mascot Gunnersaurus and integral part of our club, was being made redundant after 27 years,” said the 31-year-old German in a post on Twitter.
“As such, I’m offering to reimburse Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player so Jerry can continue his job that he loves so much.”

Good lad. Always liked him.
Meanwhile, the money saved on wages by making all those people redundant has been spent wisely by forking out another £45m for another midfielder.

Ozil's gone up in my estimation!
This was a poor move by Arsenal. Mascots have a value.
