(From Diaby's trainer during rehabilitation)
Basically, he said the following:
- Diaby had massive muscular imbalance issues and the rehab at Arsenal was not done well (implied on second part).
- Diaby had one leg that was a footballer's and another leg that was fit for a 10 year old (exact quote).
- The last 3 months were spent to strengthen his injured areas and regain proper balance.
- Also spent a lot of time working on getting the body to release the scar tissue from his injuries, which created irritation, and to reestablish proper flexibility in those areas.
This trainer was the one who trained Diaby during his only injury-free season (2009-2010). After that, Arsenal wanted Diaby to use the club's training and recovery methods (because they're cheap). Only in the last 4 months did Diaby request and receive authorization to return to this trainer.

If this is true, the entire in-house team should be disbanded.
They will have cost us two titles. Minimum.

They are each on £70K a week I heard. They aren't a bad team, the real problem is contract negotiations. Every time they get a player fit it takes weeks (sometimes months) to negotiate their pay rise and perks.If this is true, the entire in-house team should be disbanded.
Für eure Sicherheit
One guy on that thread states that last season was the year van Persie started using his own trainer. It's also stated that you need the club's special permission to use your own trainer.
There's also a debate going on about the original OP's translation. Someone else claims the trainer isn't as directly critical of Arsenal and the OP states it was mostly implied (as the trainer didn't want to be banned from the club).
Also, after it was linked on Twitter... "Most users ever online was 2485 on Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:17 pm"
"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
Also, everyone appears to be nice to each other on that forum. I bet they treat you right there. If we ever had a popular thread, people would read halfway down before encountering at least a dozen offensive jokes and curses.
