Is it me or do you agree that this guy is our best signing since Henry ?
Yep that is a massive statement but the guy has walked into our midfield and dictates the pace of the game. He seems such an influence in a very strong midfield and has helped massively with the departure of my ex Fav player RVP.
Bigger tests are on there way with United but so far I have been stunned by the impact he has had.
Is it you? Well I've never seen you play but I doubt very much if you're the best signing since Henry!!
Cazorla just ooooooozes class. One of those players who creates so much time for himself, can pick a pass and is a game changer. With him and Wilshere in front of maybe a re-born Diaby and Arteta, we potentially have a midfield that could be something special. Just hope he can stay injury free and that we're still talking about his class when the winter matches come along.
I'd seen him play quite a few times, but mainly in wider positions and he was very erratic, but I'm happy to admit my concerns were misplaced and he looks a great addition playing through the middle. He adds real pace to our passing (Abou take note!) and seems keen to shoot.
When Jack and Rosicky return we'll have a surfeit of central midfielders and not many options out wide. Time for a change of tactics?

Confucius he say "one cannot change what doesn't exist to begin with"
Poor Santi.
He joined us in good faith and is holding up his end of the bargain so far.
But then he looks behind him and sees Manone in nets, absolute shambolic defending with players marking "zones".(Marking no-one actually and not putting in a challenge in the box) He sees tactical ineptitude of Wenker dropping the best defender.
He sees Diaby limping off AGAIN. Sees Rambo slooooowing play up and giving the ball away. He sees that tosser Gervino running around like a headless (see what I did there?) chicken, not knowing where hes going or what hes doing.
He gets the ball and looks to thread a pass to our striker - but wait! We dont have a fukin striker!
Then he looks over to the sidelines and sees Wenker make his tactical genius substitutions on the 70th minute. (Decided BEFORE KICKOFF FFS). His arms spread out and throwing water bottles around.

He must be thinking - What to fuk have I done?
Poor chap.
So just like all the other top class players we've had then. No doubt he'll be vilified in these parts in 2 or 3 years when he's playing for City, and Aaron Ramsey is the club captain

The project that never ends.......
Oh yea he'll be the biggest in the world since, since.... we'll the last biggest in the world to leave Arsenal for a more ambitious club - RVP, before him Cesc, Nasri etc etc....

I see you point but do you actually not think at least Nasri certainly is a *word censored*?

Well he will also see Arteta playing amazing and Podolski still looking good but I get your point. I think Ramsey was so bad yesterday. Overall we really let ourselves down. It was not a good game to watch. Bad day for Koscielney as well but we must allow him 1 poor game as he has improved loads. Still leaves us 7 points behind already !!
