CAZORLA TO ATLETICO MADRID? NO MARCA!
One of Spain's most respected news outlets Marca reported on Wednesday that our player of the season 28-year-old Santi Cazorla has agreed terms with Atletico Madrid and it is now remaining with the clubs to negotiate a fee for the diminutive play maker.

The bid was said to be in the region of £17.5m and it is understood that Atleti have a lot of transfer kitty after trading their top marksman Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported fee of £50m and replaced him with David Villa from Barcelona who was unveiled recently, they went on to say that Atleti are highly interested in Cazorla and their Chairman Miguel Angel Gil is already in London to negotiate the deal.
However, according to the Independent, Arsenal has issued a hands-off warning to Atleti and told them Cazorla is not for sale at any price.
Cazorla recently on leave after a spell with Spain in the just concluded Confederation cup the reason as to why he is not with us on the Asian tour plus his compatriot Nacho Monreal has not said a thing about the rumour.
Some reports quoted Atletico Madrid President saying 'We have no news of Cazorla,they are inventions that occur every day.' Marca, why would you do such a thing?
Some sources believe may be its the agent of Cazorla who made it up in order for his client to get a pay rise at Arsenal.
Since the departure of Vieira in 2005 after the FA Cup triumph it has been a trend at Arsenal to lose our best players to other big clubs either for money, trophies or footballing reasons as the manager states it until to the latest departure of Robin Van Persie to Man United.
Our rivals, United, City and Chelsea have gone through managerial changes and its the best time for us to end the 8-year trophy-less run. One of the way we can do it is to keep the squad we have and if possible add atleast 2 quality players who can improve the team not youngsters to learn on the job.
My best buys would be a defensive a midfielder and a striker, I cant mention the names because you all know how Arsene does his business.
If we happen to lose one of our best players this summer then we shall move backward and next season will be dry too, I believe the manager knows we have suffered enough and cant let this happen again this summer, it will make our status as a big ambitious club questionable once again and increase pressure on the management.
