TT is always the answer, of course, but with the troubles we’re having finding the perfect left 8 I’d love to drop Santi Cazorla into our current team. Incredibly press resistant, works hard, and more than creative enough to make our left side as dangerous as our right.
His teammates loved him. The reality is the club was run by cheap dinosaurs then who torched everyone’s reputation on the way out, refused to acknowledge the changing financial reality of the game, and he (rightly) figured dragging us to the champions league with a ridiculous season after we let Man City raid our cupboard was worth actually investing in, was told to fuck off because we didn’t want to pay anything close to star wages.
