Arsenal's 32-year-old midfielder Santi Cazorla, who has not played for the club since October 2016 because of an Achilles problem, may miss the whole of the 2017-18 season. (Daily Express)
But hasn't wenker just given him another contract??? Even though he missed most of last season and was due to come back and the injury flared up again???
Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin, 22, has told the club he wants to leave, but manager Arsene Wenger has rejected the request. Barcelona want to re-sign the player in a £35m deal. (Daily Express)
Is this the same player who announced 2 / 3 weeks ago he was 'Staying' ?
Sanchez IS Gone BTW so anyone still foolish enough to think he is staying forget it.....He was seen in the Steam Engine pub around the corner from Maine Road this morning with his 2 dogs.
Come on now what are the sources for those Bellerin and Sanchez stories?, I know the club has a track record for letting us down but when I hear stories like this I think they are just designed to get clicks and have no basis at all, where are the pics of Alexis outside the pub?.
Agree on Cazorla though, just like many other examples (RVP) we are far too loyal to players, Santi is a great player and seemingly a nice guy but he's also a multi-millionaire, why are we wasting FANS money on giving players who have chronic injury problems new contracts?, we did the same with Diaby, I think someone worked out we wasted roughly £27M on wages for him!, Wilshere.. etc.
Just like my previous post about selling Walcott and Giroud, this is a reflection of Wenger's 'soft' attitude to players (coaches?) he likes, he is not ruthless enough and he needs to changes this, otherwise we'll just get more of the same and more Wenger out stuff for the next 2 years.
P.S would anyone take Cesc back?, I would be tempted.. but then we have Cazorla signed up for next year, I'm sure he'll be a big help
see what I mean!!.
