Cazorla: Trophies or I'll GTFO!!

Cazorla 'I learnt a lot from of all of the managers I have played for, but if I had to choose one it would be Pellegrini.  

'He’s the coach that has given me the most during five to six years that I worked with him at Villarreal and Malaga.'

I refuse to believe he had the cheek to make an interview like this. Please be serious Santi, get back to form before making such interviews.

When underperforming players like Cazorla come out and "threaten" to leave you know the manager isn't doing a good work. I wonder what does Wenger tell these players after a shit performance like Cazorla's against Everton? "Santi you've actually not given to the ball opposition for the goal this time so you've done OK". Wenger get your shit together and discipline these players or let someone else do it.

Anyway, thanks for the laugh Santi and please try to get back in form because you've been dogshit this season.

Wenger? 

Cazorla is on a mission.   

"When results are not (going) as well, you can always think you can improve," said Wenger, who has several injury concerns ahead of Saturday's Wembley clash.

"There is no perfect team and we will always try to improve our squad and our team.   

"This season we lost key players at big, important moments of the season, but we have to just to focus on finishing as well as we can.

"We are in a position where we can still do very well until the end of the season, that is what we want.

"It is not about next season, it is about this season."  

Wenger insisted it was not all doom and gloom around the club following what had been such a promising campaign.

"Let's see first how we finish, but we have the basics," said the Arsenal boss, who has yet to sign the offer of a new contract extension.

"What is important for us is we have our players back and available.

"Our main task will be to keep the team together and think 'where did we go wrong?'     because there's a lot of positives in our season as well.    

"We have been the league leader 17 times and we dropped off when we lost our players at the important moment of the season, that is what we don't want to repeat."

Wenger is a joker.

The players should be angry with themselves. Not one person at the club, board, manager, fans, players should be looking at anything but 1st.

And I don't think he said "Trophies or I'm off"

I believe it was more like "I want some bloody trophies as does everyone here but even so, once my contract expires (when I'm 33 and most likely not a crucial player here anymore) I'd like to enjoy the twilight of my career in my home country."

That's a bit more understandable.

Wenger“In 2005, we did not deserve to win the final,” he admitted. “It was the only way we could win it. At the start I didn’t set up like that and suddenly they were all over us and I realised that physically we were not able to compete, so I said, ‘Okay, let’s defend as long as we can.’”

“I was not really [tempted to do that this season]. Maybe sometimes we have not had much of a choice but this season we have always tried to attack because we have a team that has that ability.
“What has been strange this season is that for a long time we looked very strong defensively, we had an outstanding defensive record, and we lost it suddenly. That’s the surprise of the season for me.

Wenger should bench him for the rest of the season, he did it to Bendy for speaking out, the midget shouldn't be in the squad for the rest of the year

If he doesn't perform his talk is unjustified. If the team rallies around this idea, this hunger. That's different.

Plus, speaking out like this isn't comparable to the stupid shite Bendy pulled.
