    Its eveident that its the way we play thats the problem. It don't matter who we bring in because their best skills will be coached out of them in a short time which is weird its like they get brainwashed as soon as they get here. Something needs to be done to sure up the defence. buying the best Defense in the world would not solve our problems at all.

    Good post

    I agree with point A, I know that 99% of you guys bwkieve Diaby to be shite on legs, and I agree that he isnt what I would have deemed Arsenal quality (I say 'would have' because the bar has lowered a lot recently!) but I have seen some almost PaddyV moments from this guy, and considering the state of things I would put him ahead of Ramsey, begs the question were we right to ship Lansbury?

    Answer to my own question, wouldnt have fucking matteted had we picked up Parker. . .for me one of the shockets of our summer not getting Parket, especially when it was evident we werent picking anyone half decent up

    Did you know we pay Diaby more than Spurs play Modric. £60K+ per week for never playing, and even on those rare moments he does playing like he has had a lobotomy half the time.

    Diaby is injured and won't play many more games this season. As for where we right to ship Lansbury, yes the kids needs games and playing for west ham will make him better, and we can recall him if needed. I think Shipping Bendtner and Vela even Denilson could have been bigger mistakes. they would have made us no worse then we are now.

    Couldn't agree more think he would have been massive for us apart from his enforced injury!

    Diaby's still a moron, don't think the injury affected him as much as people on here want to believe.

    It's ridiculous because even post injury we've seen him play some blinders. He is talented. But he's so inconsistent and can't be relied on even when fit; one minute he'll look like a world-beater, like he did in that free-role away at Old Trafford, they couldn't handle him (the one where we dominated the game and then hit the self-destruct button with the penalty and OG), then the next he'll act as if he doesn't have a brain.

    With the defence, I think its clear things have gone too far and we are now an embarrassment. We had an international break last time, nothing changed. How many years have we been complaining about this? It doesn't matter who the personnel is, our whole shape as a team off the ball is unorganized and all over the place, our relationship between midfield and defence hardly exists, the idea of the back four and the midfield playing as a defensive unit with awareness and hard work is not being coached to them. It is all attack-attack-attack-express-yourselves-freely-beautiful-tippy-tappy football, not balanced with the unglamourous defensive hard work off the ball.

    It won't change until we have a manger who understands and drills the team, how to defend as a team.
