Yeah, we'll struggle to sell in the summer if he is still months away from fitness. Maybe next January at cut price? Or just release next summer.Quote:

Remember when he first signed, the next Vieira, he chose us over Chelsea (supposedly :rolleyes: ) and he was fairly good before that sunderland foul.
It's 60 K not 80K. Not that makes much of a difference really - it's still way too much for for the amount of games he's featured in.
Still. At least he'll be like a new sign...oh... :ilt:
I thought he was on a pay as you play deal in the end? Or was that just something rumoured?Quote:

He'd starve to death on a deal like that.Quote:

He would have been a proper legend by now. Not for us, obviously, we'd have sold him long ago, but still...

couldnt see link in thread.
Loan him to Manure he'd be fit and on a scoring spree in three months tops <_<
Provided we made a deal to keep covering his wages.Quote:

Serious questions have to be asked about the way we handle our players and their training regime. How has the guy picked up such a bad injury in training? Diaby needs to find some outside help and his own fitness coach if he doesn't already have one. He'll have to adjust his game slightly if he wants to keep on playing because he may have to retire very early.
:haha: :haha: :haha:
Impressive how a challenge 7 years ago is still being blamed for Diabys injuries
Must get rid....
This is rather like a trainer of thoroughbreds retaining and feeding a clapped out old nag. Is he a pet? What do we expect to get from this guy, even after nine months, when he has given us precisely nothing to date? This guy could end up with more playing time in his testimonial match than the rest of his career combined. I feel zero sympathy for him because he has been paid all this time. The players care fuck all about us if you recall, and we aren't so privileged as to pick up tens of thousands a week. He'll eat well even if he doesn't play. But the question is why would we ever retain him at all? Are we undertaking some protracted experiment related to health and fitness and must have him on the books because he's the primary test subject? Can't think of any other reason why he should be anywhere near the team. After all, how many years does it take of him missing entire seasons to figure he is injury prone? Could somebody please write to Wenger and at least drop a hint?

A good article about the Diaby injury.
Do you lot think he wants to get injured all the time? Money has nothing to do with this either. It's a fucked up moment for the guy so at least show a bit of support. It's a serious injury and could be curtains for his career. You can't wish that on one of you're own players. It's tough times for the club but don't act like assholes. Show a bit of heart as a Gooner.
Mate - I think we're done with the support now. A shame for the player but it happens and he is lucky he made his lucrative move before he broke down. There's little animosity towards Diaby himself, but we have suffered as a team while Wenger keeps the door open.Quote:

It's mismanagement.
But fuck it, no point in talking in these situations. It just shows how rotten things have gotten.
lets pretend like this was never going to happen.
:haha:
fuck support he's had years of it. there comes a time you say enough is enough. time to be selfish and stop being sentimental. being too nice has cost us over the years.Quote:

I get ya - yes this isn't about the player (with whom I sympathise a bit - but still think he's fortunate in the scheme of things). It IS a reflection on the manager's lack of cutting edge, though.Quote:

its sad to see this happen to a player through no fault of his own. but given how eduardo had to leave, diaby never recovered, it shows how far ramsey has come to overcome his on a side point.
he had so much talent diaby, we can all see it, games like liverpool in sept, shame we wont likely see it again.
Diaby is never going to be fit, much like our other crocks.
Personally I'd get rid of Diaby, Gibbs, Rosicky these guys can't string 3 games together without getting injured, haven't we wasted enough money on these guys now?
Hold your horses there - which came first, the supporter who couldn't give a fuck or the footballer who couldn't give a fuck beyond the cash? Really, let's not apologise on their behalf, it's really not necessary as I'm sure they don't think an apology is even in order.Quote:

NQ you're blinded by money in every argument. How far does this go? I'm guessing you earn a decent wage and probably more than a few posters on here. Should i judge you differently because of that? Say you get hit by a bus on the way to work and you're crippled. Instead of wishing you well my first reaction is...'fuck him, he'll probably get patched up on his private healthcare scheme'.Quote:

Nope.
They reap what they sow. They have taken the money and given nothing back for years. What kind of love and loyalty do you think is going to grow in barren soil like that?
There's a cut off point for everyone. Your's is at a different place than mine evidently. I'm long past mine, yours will come because none of these guys give a fuck about you.
there are stories about diaby that he is always working on fitness, doenst go on holiday but trains instead, doesnt drink, smoke or party etc. yes he is injured and takes a large pay check home but with an attitude like that, if it is true, then he is giving something back, or at least trying to isnt he NQ?
Mate, it won't ever get to a point where I see a shocking challenge on a player and think 'fuck him' just because he earns more money than me. There is still a morale standard.
Don't believe everything they say on Arsenal.comQuote:

Thinking of it, Diaby has got to be the oldest Arsenal player in the squad! Wasnt he injured playing at Highbury?! FFS this is the player carrying the torch from the glory days!?! :banghead:
Anyway, wish him a speedy recovery. I tore my ACL playing football and its a horrible injury and even worse rehabilitation period. Good luck Abu Dhabi. :good:
boo hoo. we've been mugged for too long. trying that sentimental crap doesnt work anymore pal.Quote:

It would never get to that point for me either, and yet that's what you seem to be implying. Not based on what I have posted of course. Heaven forbid.Quote:

As for him training to get fit - well I should say. I think it's a good thing he's not on holiday or smoking or going to parties, because that might be viewed by some as rubbing it in.
I have nothing against Diaby as a person but in footballing terms he's a stupid, stupid investment by any reckoning. In terms the club would express to the fans when they hike the ticket prices and sell off the star players, where's the profit? Never plays, costs a fortune, takes up a squad place. And it's been going on for years. Is it really so cruel to suggest he should be gone?
Dude, that's an Arsenal player your talking about but you're saying he gets no sympathy because of what he's paid? It's a slippery slope and it's all good talking about the club losing it's soul and selling out but that's pretty low on the books as well.Quote:

I am not saying I'm glad he's injured, am I? I'm saying players are in a much more comfortable situation than they used to be when injury threatens their careers. What is this sympathy anyway? Are we going to have a parade?Quote:

All that is through the window now and this great liability has to now got to be the biggest must get rid of all time....
To think Wenger has gambled on this crock for 7 years with contract extensions along the way, him and Rosicky - both players who should have been disposed of long ago, whilst he only afforded a proper legend like Pires a 1 year contract extension, pretty much sums up the Arsenal. We have a stockpile of zero to average talent, all overpaid and give nothing in return. At the same time we strip the club of the real talent who actually produce and then declare tidy profits come year end after year end as a result.
Best run club in the world :scarf:
Tbf Rosicky has been quality on the pitch when he's been given a chance. Diaby has been a crock of shit when he plays
Yeah, but he's still been a crock who's had his contract extended as well.
