Yes
No
Oh, he's probably better than Gervinho right now. But we can do better than both of those if we actually tried.
Sorry. Not getting at you, and whilst he's a decent player, I just think we can set our sights a bit higher than him....and Gervinho....and walcock...etc
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
He's alright, like I say. And I've seen him play a few times.
But he's having a decent (half) season. He's 27 years old, and has on average scored about 5 or 6 a season, with about 5 or 6 assists per season.
You always get these players that have a decent run...but he's not the answer to our problems. We can do better, imo. That's all I'm saying.
If we'd ahve signed him, we'd be saying he wasn't good enough. I really couldn't see him causing Barca, Real etc much harm....and like I say, we're a pile of shit at the moment...but ultimately we want to be challenging the top sides in Europe ()....but we wouldn't with this dude as a benchmark.

This guy made an impression on me a few gas back in the Emirates Cup. He has the ability to dicitate the middle of the park and much bette than what we're getting from Arteta and Ramsey. It's not just the goals and the assist record. His ability on the ball, energy and passing are really impressive and he'd be more dynamic in the middle over Ramsey and Arteta. On the flanks, he'd be more lethal than Gervinho.
Guess we'll never know anyway
We have jack to come back anyway, so hopefully that'll solve a couple of issues we have at the moment.
I wish Diaby could have some run of fitness and form, because if he could get rid of those niggling injuries and played to his capabilities, he'd be awesome.

Bit unfair to say till they both have had the same time to adapt to the prem, Gev has been awful In shooting but in what he was bought here to do he has been excellent tbh. Don't think Gev is suited to a 433 anyway. I'm even begining to question why he was even bought tbh.
