Santi Cazorla

I think he is worth a punt I really do, yes he has been injured and is coming back again to full fitness surely a 1 year deal with an option of a further year, if he preforms well?

MikeCdawg · June 04, 2018, 10:46:51 AM

All day long. Top player. But looks as though he's getting a deal in Spain.

Mitch · June 04, 2018, 10:47:37 AM

I think any player who had an injury to the level he had is an extreme risk. Great talent, but if it ate up a lot of our wage budget, I'd be loathed for him to then spend a large amount of time on the treatment table.

A quality player but apparently he nearly lost his foot. When out for as long as he was towards the end of his career he just won't be anywhere near the player he was. Too much of a risk I'm afraid.

Great player in his day but would be a massive risk unless we signed him on a pay per play deal.

Even so, I think we need to get away from signing older players. This was our downfall when we were last in the PL.

We should be looking to build a team which has longevity, as opposed to older, injury prone players that will need replacing after a season or two.

I know he's 30 now but I'd prefer a player like Moussa Dembele from Spurs. Slightly different positions I know. Cazorla seems far too injury prone.

that I would love to see moussa back in a Fulham shirt.

Maidstone Lee · June 04, 2018, 01:03:25 PM

So would I, he'd be a great addition and would love to see him back in an FFC shirt.

Not sure that injury prone is fair, he had an injury that gave a lot of cause for concern, but he has been back in training for couple of weeks and don't think been any problems

Mitch · June 04, 2018, 01:21:16 PM

Don't think we will see many players over 28. If any. If there's no-resale value, there's no value for the club (or so they feel).

It's not really accurate to call Sanit injury-prone.

He's had one incredibly serious injury that's robbed him of about 18 months of his career and almost robbed him of his foot!

Quality player, one of the most intelligent passers in the prem. Can he still compete at that level? It's impossible for anybody to really know at this stage.

To be honest I'm only going off what one of my work colleagues told me who's an Arsenal fan. I've not really seen much of him apart from what I've seen on the TV.

He is training in Spain with the Alaves youth team currently

Carborundum · June 04, 2018, 04:47:32 PM

Judging by some of the photos, his injury does not strike me as one where the answer to the question: "What if any league should I play in next?" is a league based the UK. Physical contact is surely going to be a problem.

rubbernecca · June 04, 2018, 04:53:15 PM

Not happening. He's 33 years old.

fulhamfever · June 05, 2018, 01:15:28 PM

End of debate he has resigned with Villarreal
