Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil - match made in heaven for Arsenal?

Arsenal fans don't usually have a lot to cheer about after an international break, except from the fact that their beloved club returns to action. International breaks usually mean, injuries, injuries and even more injuries. Perhaps broken up by the occasional fatigue factor when players travel as far as the South Americas. Santi Cazorla, for example, often returns from some exotic location or island floating somewhere far away from the comfort of Europe and he also doesn't return until it's too late.

The Importance Of Theo Walcott To Arsenal

I've been inspired by yesterday's post for my three video blogs for today because I love pointing out, and almost realising myself on some occasions, how important a player is to a team. Today I have a visual aid to assist me, and the player who I have chosen is Theo Walcott. The 24-year-old has been at the centre of criticism for most of his career at Arsenal after bursting on to the scene as a 16-year-old. The reason for this is, until last season, he was very inconsistent and fans started to worry that all of the potential he had as a 16-year-old was already reached by the age of 23/24. However, last season he proved many critics wrong by being Arsenal's top goal scorer with 14 goals. He also grabbed 12 assists in the Premier League also.

Why Signing Mathieu Flamini Was A Wise Move For Arsenal

After looking at Yaya Sangogo in my previous article, I thought I'd have a closer look at Arsenal's French midfielder Mathieu Flamini. Now if your memory serves you well, you will remember the name Mathieu Flamini as the player had previously spent time in the Premier League. In fact, he spent his previous time with Arsenal, when the Gunners had a midfield which included Alex Hleb, Francesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky. This time round, though, the Frenchman will be playing alongside Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey to name a few. It's a change, yes, but the quality of players around him remains the same, if not better.
