Some players are spectacularly talented and can change a game in the blink of an eye, however often these players spend large periods of games completely invisible and anonymous, players like Arshavin, Ben Arfa and to an even young Oxlade Chamberlain spring to mind, this could be a number of factors (lack of fitness, laziness or just a struggle to get on the ball in the right areas). Other players are there throughout the game and you get sick of hearing their name from the commentators, these players as you will be aware are players such as Scott Parker, James Milner or more recently Tom Cleverly..
Now here is where I get to Cazorla.. It is sometimes hard to pinpoint exactly why a player is thought of so highly but with Cazorla it is pretty straight forward, he is in the thick of it for the whole match, he's darting around the pitch playing one twos and looking for space and when he gets the space "BANG" he comes to life. When our strikers become slightly more clinical he could be getting 3/4 assists per game the way he makes things happen time and time again, it's ridiculous to watch! He's so unpredictable and he can play the ball long or short, hit a belting shot with both feet or just continue to dribble with his burst of pace. I'll probably be slated for this and be told I'm biased but I honestly would rather have him than David Silva, Silva can be unbelievably brilliant but also let a game get on top of him when things aren't going his way, he also doesn't have the element of surprise that Cazorla brings! In short Gooners we have an extremely special player on our hands and while Wenger is bringing in talent like this, Im sure as hell ready to put a bit more faith in Giroud and get behind him, because Arsene knows attacking talent when he sees it.
COYG.
The reason Cazorla is so special.

He's world class! The question is.... how much will he be sold for?

I rate Chamberlain.
He's just not technical. There's a difference.

He looks a nice little player but judge him after more than three games.
I've no doubt he will be one of the best attacking midfielders in the league but best to wait a bit yet.
He hasn't the touch or skill of Silva by the way, not from what I've seen so far.

It's only been 3 games so he could have a game where he has limited influence to come yet. However he carries on these performances well then I can't wait. Everything you've said is true of him so far and long may it continue. Talented player.

It's not about his game.
It's his smile.

Yes he is great but the real question is can he hack it on a cold wet Wednesday night at Stoke?

Well..
Stoke players sort of kept him quiet at the Britannia.
He has pretty much had only 2 great games and 1lukewarm one.
Lets wait till at least after the Chelsea match before we cream ourselves over him

"Stoke players sort of kept him quiet at the Britannia."
Actually they didn't.
Did you watch the game?
Him and Podolski was influential throughout the whole game. A constant thorn.

For the 1st time I'll agree with Dubbed and echo what he said. Santi was influential in that game and was making things happen Vs Stoke. It's the Chelsea, City & United games where I'm eager to see him perform!

Yeah. I think he'll do just fine.
He doesn't really look fazed by anything.
