Look how lenient Wenger has been with players and look what has happened. Cesc, RVP, Adebayor, Flamini, Song, Toure, Clichy, Cole, Nasri, and Hleb have all jumped ship at their first opportunity despite all the time we spent (or wasted) turning them into finished products. Half of them even to our close league rivals. So much for player loyalty.

It is harsh on Diaby but like I said, there is no such thing as loyalty in football. Football IS a cutthroat business and it's time to cut our losses with him. He might actually be better off playing in a less physical league where he'd be less likely to pick up a knock.
You do realise that if we just terminated his contract, he would sue the Club?

And he would win. Whats more, he'd probably get more via damages than if we honoured the contract. Added to that, there would be such a breakdown in the Club's reputation, no player worth his salt would play for a Club that does not honour its contracts.

Basically you are advocating that the Club break the law.
