Great news and ‘really sad news’ for Arsenal fans

Wenger revealed his distress on hearing the news. “I sent him a message because he had a new surgery and wished him well,” said Le Prof. “He answered ‘look I have to start again, from zero basically’ and it is very sad, honestly. What he has gone through this guy is unbelievable. We speak about players being happy or not happy, that is a real pain because it is really, really sad but unfortunately he has to start again from zero.

“That means if all goes well he has to wait until he can run and after when he starts to run it will be at least six weeks to come back to training. When he will be able to run again I don’t know.

“I was hopeful of January but after, he had this setback that everybody knows about.

“I hope so [that Cazorla will play again]. But certainly not before February.”

I seriously doubt very much he will play again, but I am secretly hoping that Santi can come on in the last minute of our last home game just for the memories. He deserves a hero’s send off…

But now it is looking hopeful that the final game of the season will not be Mesut Ozil’s last for us as well, as it is being reported that there has been a breakthrough in his contract talks with the promise of a three year deal. I am sure it is going to cost Arsenal a fortune to secure his services but if he can keep performing at his recent levels then it will be worth every penny.

The German midfielder, who has just won the  Player-of-the-Month for November with more than half the votes, will give the club a nice Christmas present if we can get him signed up quickly. We’ve only been waiting a year!

  1. Keeping Ozil would be great. Keeping him and Sanchez would be even greater. We could then a few more quality players and make ready to excite

  2. Cazorla has one of the best close control I have ever seen. I never forget how he bossed the midfield area with Coquelin when playing against Manchester City at the Etihad. It would be difficult to replace him, but I think Jean Seri, Lemar, Goretzka, Sergi Roberto or Denis Suarez could replace him.

    Regarding Ozil, there would be many high quality players that could replace him, if he does not want to extend, such as Draxler, Rafinha, Moura, Adama Traore, Turan, etc. He did not have many suitors in the previous transfer window, but I think there would be some interest in January.

  3. A drum and a cymbal fall off a cliff

    Badum tish

    Ok so glad I have got your attention. I have something very important to say. We don’t need Ozil. We have ample talent in our academy. Think about it – we lost our identity since Wenger decided to buy in expensive players. We need to go back to our identity and play good football rather than the dross these overpaid stars play.

  4. Desperate news for a delightful man and player. All Gooners surely wish this brave man some pain free time asap and if he ever plays for us again, it is a delightful bonus. But his health is before all else . God Speed Santi, we all love you!
