Santi Cazorla

[mancboy123]

Carzola is indeed a good player but just like mata was supposed to be better than silva when he signed for chelsea the fact is its unlikely that he will be as good because bottom line is if he was he would be winging his way to RM or Barca right now and every arsenal fan knows it.

With Sahin i completely agree with happy what use is sahin if you dont get to keep him.

Arsenal have gotten the fee down to £12.5million apparently, can't fathom why more teams aren't in for Cazorla at that price!

because maybe, just maybe he isnt as good as most people like to think he is, not doubting that he is a good player but much like kagawa if he was that good then their would be significantly more people in for him.

Wenger and Ferguson are no oracles or geniuses occassionally they pull a youngster out of the wilderness like fabregas or ronaldo but fact is carzola is 27 if he was that good hed be at RM or Barca by now.

Silva has never played for Barcelona or Real Madrid, hence he is not as good as everyone rates him. That logic doesn't work, there isn't an unlimited amount of squad space at these two clubs and just because a player isn't at Barcelona or Real Madrid doesn't mean they aren't class.

Probably wrong here but isn't he a similar player to Nasri?

Plus, he's no spring chicken.

 

[mancboy123]

Silva is not yet 27 yes there is ltd sqaud space but the fact is if he was that good for that price thats where he would be for 12.5m arsenal are not an attractive prospect if he was that good.

I didnt say he wasnt class what im saying is if he was as good as you eould like to believe, arsenal would be well down on the list of people looking to acquire him. You got podolski and giroud what top clubs did you beat out for them? whose team would they walk into?. You get sahin its because no top club would take a player on loan with no hope of keeping them.

What i am saying is just because you laud these players and big them up the reality is you are getting players that wouldnt get into your closest rivals teams.

Very similar to Nasri and Silva in my opinion. I reckon if we're after a winger it'll be someone with explosive pace rather than another cultured one like Cazorla.

Funny you should say that.

For the record, Kagawa is a excellent player.

 

[mancboy123]

at no point have i said that they arent good players just not as good as people make them out to be thats all im saying.

kagawa was a quality player in a wonderful midfield in a different league lets see how he does in a different league in an average midfield.

Who did you beat for Silva's signature? Yaya's?

I'm sorry but Cazorla would walk into every team in the league apart from City. I'm not bigging them up into being completely world class players but they are exactly what we needed in our team and are very solid additions.

We will see next season how good some of these players are, I suspect with your view of them that you will be suprised.

All of your strikers are better than Poldolski and Giroud, that doesn't mean they aren't excellent signings.
