Like it or not (I'm in the not) Diaby will be the first name on the teamsheet if he makes it through pre-season. Wumger loves him little bit much. It's going to be a Diaby-Song-Arteta midfield as long as Diaby lasts.

Well I'm one of those that feel that if fit he should start on the bench it wouldn't be fair on the other players that have been fit and done a job, (within the capabilities that is) but I don't think he is a bad player, but he would need a run of games before he can be considered a first teamer.
Diabys main problem is that he is careless in possession. i have never seen someone so well built but so easily robbed of the ball. He always introduces a weak link into prtocedings as our team is notoriously pathetic at reacting to turnovers. every time one of the midfield loses the ball anywhere on the park we cannot react in time. The midfileders will watch helplessly as the other team staem ahed and overcome our shell shocked defenders. It happens every time. United in particular know this flaw too well.
Problem with playing diaby is that you need another midfielder to cover for him. He would be great if other teams would allow us play 12 v 11
diaby on his day can be a brilliant player, he can ghost pass players as if they are not htere, he just needs games, honestly believe if he can do a van persie in terms of fitness this season, he will do a van persie in the fact he has the season of his life
also lets remeber that diabys injuries are not his fault, they all come from a thug who decided to break his leg
I seriously know that Wenger knows that we hate this shit about new signings that's why he keeps saying it. He has stock phrases for the endless media questions and just rolls them out.
