New Diaby! :doh:
Man City, please come back! :pray:
hair line fracture of the shin from a tackle by Gabriel.
You don't mess with Duane Dibley.
Get rid, sick of this crock, wasting money paying him for sitting on the treatment table all the time.
No surprises here, it would be a miracle if this guy is available for more than 3 months of a season.
His style of play draws contact, unless he changes that he'll always be more prone to these sorts of injuries.
First we're told he'll be out for a few days. Next 3 weeks. Now it's 6 to 8 weeks. What a joke.
Jack needs to adjust his playing style if he wants a long career. His ankles can't keep taking a bashing. He also needs to have a long think about his lifestyle off the pitch.
We always need one of Jack or Rambo out, otherwise Wenget feels compelled to play them both, meaning someone is always out of position.
He'll be like a new signing when he comes back in January.
Apparently Gabriel clattered him and broke his leg.
Wouldn't have happened if he hadn't smoked that cigarette.
@LDG We have that problem anyway. Only just getting round to watching the Community Shield and he has Ozil playing on the left.
Can't fault Gabriel and I hope Jack doen't. He's going to be regularly exposed to harder challenges in the league.Quote:

Smoking is a terrible habit and in this day and age there's no excuse for it with the fact you can't smoke in public and the well documented health risks. For a sportsman to take up smoking is frankly shocking, it's a fact it's not good for you and that it will hinder your in sport, it just not acceptable in any sport and should be frowned upon IMO.
He gets a lot of injuries and is a liability, in addition though as shown by the above he's very unprofessional and not as dedicated as he should be so we should let him move on and let someone else deal with the problems he brings with him.
Jack smells like grandad, we don't want to play with him any more.
Not a big loss as Ramsey is the better player.
If we get a decent offer for him, then we should really sell him
Pretty much, we're overstocked in the centre of midfield anyway, could use more wingers.Quote:

No wonder he's so rubbish.

Wenget confirms Wheelchairs injury.
His smoking isn't out of control, it's the injuries that are the problem. Smoking isn't ideal for any athlete but it never stopped Zidane, Messi or Maradona (along with every other substance on this Earth). Bradley Wiggins, Shane Warne, Michael Jordan...the list goes on. As long as it isn't a regular habit, then it has very little effect on performance.Quote:

We have so many injuries every year.
Silly comparison. One size doesn't fit all. I've heard stories of Ronaldo and Romario being complete slackers in training but they'd still turn on the magic on match day. Does that mean all players can slack off in training?Quote:

I say he needs to make lifestyle adjustments because he needs to brush off this bad boy image and everyone seems so keen to fit him into the 'Gazza' mold. Also, he might be one of those players that needs to be more health conscious, train outside of regular hours and see a specialist just to stay fit and have a long career.
Smoking is obviously a bad thing - unless you want to look cool.
But him having the odd cigarette here and there is not the reason he's had injuries.
How do we know it's the odd cigarette? We're only assuming it's the odd one. And I never said his smoking was a direct cause of his injuries although it may catch up with him in the later stages of his career.Quote:

It's just another stick some people like to beat him with.
I wasn't linking the smoking to his injuries, just highlighting he's a bit of a playboy and not as dedicated as he should be. As for smoking, how do we know how long he's been smoking, he could have been smoking since he was 17 in private, the facts our smoking does have a negative effect on health and your ability to perform sports, Messi may have had the odd one but there's always people who aren't the norm, one guy smoked till he was 100 and didn't get cancer, doesn't mean it's ok to smoke.Quote:

It's not the root cause of his injury problems though and, at his age, unlikely to affect his performance. His workrate is fine on the pitch, it's not affecting his fitness.
He is a tit though, obviously.
I personally wouldn't write him off just yet, but this setback is disappointing to say the least.
To be fair Lionel, that looks like a spliffQuote:

And March and May.
This time last season he was playing really well but did the odd silly thing off the field and got slaughtered even though he outshone Ramsey despite Rambo's goals.
Then he got injured, an extended time out and came back. Every time he took to the field from then on he was very good, superb or masterful. Now he has another short/medium set back but sell him over my dead body.
We shouldn't sell him. Scored some incredible goals and he may have added long ranging shooting to his arsenal. He's still young and we have plenty of cover in the midfield but he needs to work his socks off this year. The constant injury set backs just slows his development.
Wilshere is probably the best talent to come through our academy in decades.
Phenomenal player.
:lol: heard it all now.
Jack played well but the team was not playing well at all. He doesn't fit with how Arsenal plays and more importantly be marginalized Özil and forced Santi to the bench.Quote:

I actually agree it's a position we're not short in. But he's got real quality and if he can just get over his injury problems he could be a good player for us.
It's always difficult with players who have persistent injuries. Many (me included) were calling for RvP to be sold just before he had that season for us where he dragged us into 4th place virtually on his own. It's easy to have 20:20 hindsight afterwards about these things.
We have that problem without Jack. Ozil played on the wing against Chelsea so Ramsey can play. It's down to the manager. It shouldn't take injuries to him from playing players out of position.Quote:

thing with Ramsey/Ozil vs. Jack/Ozil is that Jack operates in Ozil's space whereas Ramsey does not.Quote:
