That's the verdict of former Gunner Martin Keown.
Both star players are free to leave Arsenal at the end of the season when their deals expire.
And Keown thinks the situation is taking its toll on boss Arsene Wenger.
He told the Weekend Sports Breakfast: “The other night [against Chelsea], [Mesut] Ozil – it was the first time I realised how good a player he was.
"He committed everything, he was quick, he was incisive in his play, and he was a different Ozil.
"He’s been holding back. I don’t want him at Arsenal if he is not going to commit to every match.

“Sanchez now looks like he’s trying to force that move out of the club. I just don’t like the feeling.
"There is a bad smell at the club and Arsene Wenger can never have been in a more difficult situation at the club.
"It must test him every day having to work in this situation.
“He’s been trying to get these players to sign for two and a half years.
"It’s a conversation which has never gone away and, really, what are you going to get for them now?

"Are they going to secure Champions League football?
“We‘re five points behind Liverpool who look like they are improving all the time.
"I don’t see Arsenal making it into the Champions League and Tottenham might struggle to make it into those four spaces.
"Winning the Europa League might be the only way of getting in there and that might only come at the 11th hour.”
