Cazorla, if anything, should have been more expensive, since he was a player widely-thought to be hitting his peak years (at 27, and he turns 28 only in December), but Malaga were in debt, so we managed to get him more cheaply than he would be worth.
Diaby has always been class. Every time he plays he just reminds people of what Arsenal miss: a real box-to-box player to break at pace. I remember seeing loads of fans saying he was deadwood, but I've always been a staunch supporter of the lad. Dan Smith broke his leg with an unnecessary challenge and he's ended up with an almost-dead career. Bugger's now playing in the Northern leagues at the bottom rungs. Serves him right.
For Wilshere, there are reports slating him for a return next month, along with Sagna and Rosicky. Barring any injury to anyone I'd say a pretty strong squad in terms of depth.
