I may have chuckled though tbf.
He pretty much turned their season around..scored a few, got a lot of assists and even made Torres look good again...no easy feat. He's a great player and we were slack not to sign him up before chelsea caught wind of a deal.
Here's some stats...12 goals in your debut season from midfield isn't bad really...more than Walcott...and probably more assists too. Some stats.

First comment from Malaga was no way he's being sold. Now it's £15m transfer fee would be giving him away and need more money.
Interesting.
Is this another one of these pipedream deals we pursue for ages, deals we have no hope of completing?
Yup we'll see I guess, I don't like those comments from Malaga though, thought it was looking promising before those.
The quote below was from Malaga a day or so ago... then the ones above came after. So their stance seems less adamant about selling him.
Going from 'not for sale' and 'not to even negotiate', to 'will take more than £15m to buy him, and we're not really keen to sell'Some reports in England have even claimed that the Gunners have held talks with the player.
But Malaga have told Sky Sports that they are not in the market to sell their star man.
"Cazorla is not for sale, we do not talk about rumours in the press and our plans are not to even negotiate his exit," a source confirmed to Sky Sports.
I think they probably would sell, it's the money thing though, they sound like they want top whack for him, I can't see us paying that.
16 million was feasible, not sure more than that it for us.
