Santi Cazorla: My Friend, Is Adios, No?

[Lakersgooner24]

Just want to get in a post (before the potential lock) to thank him for his service to the club. Will always be one of my favorite players. Absolute shame about his injury plagued past couple of seasons, his absence was noticeable.

I still question which foot is his dominant at times (only player I’ve seen take corners with both feet). Magician on the pitch and a ray of sunshine off it.

He said that he prefers his right foot, but he could do equally good with either.

Yea I know he prefers right since he takes pens and free kicks with it. It was more tongue in cheek. Still, probably as two footed a player as you’d ever get.

Didn't see enough of him in his time with us.

Hope he gets to resurrect his career back in Spain.

That is what he said but at times his left seemed superior. In a way I always wondered if he said that just to give an answer or at least to confuse people. But he isn't that kind of mind games type player.

Really going to miss you Santi. Thanks for everything.

What a littl magician he was. I loved watching him and that smile was infectious. Thank you Santi, we’ll miss you.

I'll remember that away performance to Man City where he bossed it and we won 2-0 when I'm grey and old. Some of the footwork and guile he showed in that match was breathtaking.

It's a pity that so many of our best players have been blighted by injuries we have had Santi with injuries that have ruined the last two seasons for him,
We had Rosicky with injuries problems that kept him out of the team for long periods as well,
And there were many players before them that had the same problems maybe under our new manager and with different training methods we might see less of these injury problems.

 

[HollandGooner]

Big big fan of him and will remain, wish him the best gonna miss him.

 

[krackpot]

Wish he had stayed.

Good Luck, little champ!

I would have liked to see Santi as a coach to teach our youth players about using both feet to play and he could have helped to develope their awareness of what is going on around them on the pitch.
I don't know if he wanted to still be a player for a few more years before taking up a coaching role.

The most skillful and entertaining player of the Emirates era imo.

Why is calling for a thread to be locked a thing on here? It's not hard to avoid one you have no interest in. I've paid close attention to your views (mainly in the transfer section) since your earlier posts in here and I have to say I wonder about your eye for talent.

Anyway, Cazorla to Villarreal has now been confirmed. Someone that served this club very well and I hope he goes on to have a good couple of years back in Spain.

The thread will obviously have to be locked at some point but there's no need to rush to erase someone from Arsenal's history. Similar happened with the Walcott departure.

Up there with Hleb and Nasri. Van Persie and Sanchez were close.

Who was Walcott?

 

[albakos]

The most likable player in Wenger era.
I don't think there's any sane Arsenal fan who didn't like Santi.

He was a true magician, had great personality and it seems like everyone at the club loved him.

I was watching the Unclassic Commentaries on Arsenal Youtube, he was such a great and funny bloke.

Going to miss Santi.

 

[bingobob]

Likeable on and off the field. And that performance against City. Not sure there is much more to add.
