    The name Diaby feels me with dread though, it would be amusing to sign two players with the surname of former players albeit ones that play in different positions
    Aye, thought about the namesake straight away, Diaby and Vieira back at Arsenal!

    Yep and I say Dread because Diaby was a player I really genuinely liked, I think Wenger picked a player of real genuine potential, but the fucking injuries….like Wilshere…..he’d have been some player if he stayed fit

    Abou Diaby was an exceptional player whose career was destroyed by a thug. One of the great "could have been" players
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Oh the whole Dan Burn thing

    Yeah possibly, but football is Darwinism in action at times and maybe a different player would have come back from that injury. And he was still playing for us over six years after the injury, start and stop

    Same with Rosicky and Wilshere. Honestly three players I loved watching but just didn’t work out

    I believe Diaby could have been as good as Yaya Toure. Such a shame he had his career robbed from him.

    Rosicky was class. I’m sure we could have achieved a lot more with him had he been able to play more. His injury in 2008 played a huge part in our title challenge collapsing.

    I don’t think Wheelchair was as good as his early performances suggested but then we don’t really know how much of that was down to his body letting him down time and time again.

    Not that it’s a high bar but he was far better than Ramsey in terms of technical ability, game awareness, passing repertoire etc. I think he and Diaby (who always looked like he was the un acknowledged love child of Shaun Goater) would have been an excellent midfield partnership even without Fabregas

    There’s currently a Twitter pile on by Arsenal fans against football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano for apparently ruining the Mudryk deal by….reporting on it.

    Twitter just fucking decays everything it touches, even turns football fans into jihadists

    Aye, Diaby had elite potential, it was a shame with him.

    Every day that passes, the chances of Arsenal signing anyone diminish more and more because the prices go up.

    At the end of the month the prices will be far more than they are now.

    How did Wolves get Sarabia for 4.4 million ?

    It would have been 20 million at least if Arsenal had wanted him.

    Should have gone for Gakpo.
