Winging
it: What a Santi Cazorla move could mean for Arsenal
After
being heavily linked to the North London side, Goal.com takes a look at both
the upside and the downside of Arsenal signing Santi Cazorla
Arsenal have been in the transfer
news for all the wrong reasons recently, with yet another departure saga
imminently unfolding. So instead, we focus on a man who has been linked to the
club instead. Santi Cazorla is not currently a household name simply because he
is behind some of the greatest wingers the world has ever seen. But he is
immensely talented in the position and would be a real catch for Arsenal
Football Club for reasons more than one.
“Arsenal has done some good business in the transfer
market with the signing of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, and also
promoting Kyle Bartley to the first team from within recently, why mess up
Wengers efforts with false news as if he’s not doing anything and all his
players are leaving. SMH.”
The first reason would be because of
his ability. Comfortable on either wing, Cazorla is a player who will give you
consistent return in terms of assists and goals. One of the better crossers in
the modern game, he is good at both low and high crosses, remaining
unpredictable all the time.
He has both pace and ability in his
game to beat a man, and that bit of magic football juice that every one of the
players of this Spanish generation seem to be born with. He has unlocked more
than one stubborn defence in his time at Villarreal with a moment of iinspiration
down the wing.
This was the primary reason why the
nouveau riche Malaga bought him for the obscene amount of €21m but what return!
The club has qualified for the Champions League play-offs which is a priceless
opportunity for the Andalusians. Which brings us to the second point.
If Arsenal can grab Cazorla from
Malaga, it will be a tremendous boost for the club's image. With skipper Robin
van Persie raising his doubts over the road ahead for the club in their
ambition to win trophies, which they haven't for the last seven seasons, their
ability to attract a top footballer for pure footballing reasons has certainly
taken a jolt.
‘”Arsenal has always been able and will always be able to
attract top talent from across the globe but has this writer forgotten? We make
stars not buy them. We always make em.”
If Cazorla, with the high wages of
Malaga and more or less the same number of competitions to play in STILL opts
for the Gunners, it will be a wave of confidence, and who knows, it may give
Wenger more courage in the transfer market instead of waiting for another
potential 8-2 humiliation seen last season.
Santi has agreed terms with Arsenal and what is this dude
saying? Malaga is not even in the same class as Aston Villa, so don’t even go
mentioning Mala shit beside Arsenal.
The writer’s choice of words even suck, talking about
still opting for the Gunners like Malaga has got any history at all.
There is, however, a sizable
flipside to this scenario. Just the intent, forget about the actual signing of
another winger in a team overloaded with wingers and wide forwards is more or
less a vote of no-confidence in them all. Especially when there's already a wide
striker signed this season. It's Wenger's admission that what he has is either
not ready or not good enough.
“Why can’t you just say Arsenal has done a good job with
the signing they have made and the players on ground plus Santi Carzola would
give Arsenal depth on the bench and make them stronger and really brighten the possibility
of winning a trophy instead of the addition of more quality players leading to
a drop in confidence? WOW!”
It could catalyze a clearance sale
for the likes of Arshavin, Chamakh, and maybe even Rosicky. This new winger is
a tricky business. Arsene Wenger had better tread with care. But then we know
that Le Professeur has built a dynasty (albeit a currently falling one) by
handling things with care.

Don’t even want to say more. I love goal.com but they
should not just allow some wanker write articles with blinded opinions for
them. Why is no one writing or predicting doom for Liverpool or Tottenham? Arsenal
are much more stronger than these teams and have a better shot at the title,
why is nobody writing about them?
Manchester United are failing to attract top talents to
Old Trafford and the Glazer family have failed to deliver on floating Man u
shares in the New York stock exchange there by still leaving Man U in debt, why
is no one saying anything about that?
Manchester City has not signed any player this summer
while their rivals, like Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U are strengthening up, does
it not pose a threat to their ambitions of retaining the title Man U LOST to
them on the LAST DAY of the season? Aint no one talking about that.
Malaga’s money men are all of a sudden reluctant to pump any
more money into the club, it shows that Arab money can dry up and is a
potential DOOM for Man City and PSG. No one is writing about that too.
But all these writers know how to do is predict doom for
Arsenal and eat their words at the end of the season when we turn out better
than expected season after season.
Y’all Arsenal haters need to get a life.
