Arsenal FC – Santi Cazorla Enjoying Playing on His Own
Giving Santi Cazorla the reins in the middle of the pitch isn’t such a bad idea. No Jack Wilshere, no Diaby (as usual), no Theo Walcott. Arsenal were just fine.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – AC Milan Interested in Nemanja Vidic From Manchester United
By spending more time in the treatment room and on crutches in the last couple of seasons than on the pitch, Nemanja Vidic is writing his own ticket away from Manchester United, who need someone a little less injury prone to be their star starting centre back, not to mention his inconsistent form when actually playing.
