Abou Diaby - Injuries Thread

[SteveO 35]

When Abou gets a new contract which he richly deserves (any other Gooners with a 20 month unbeaten run?) then I shall break my self imposed Emirates ban and buy all of you good people a beer.

You can't get too much good news

Only if it costs more than £6 quid and is served at room temperature, not getting out of bed for anything less.

Two players that I have had blind faith in for many years are Diaby, and to a lesser time frame Coquelin.

Achilles heel perhaps, but being honest

Nigel Winterburn said on wednesday against montpellier that Wenker had fielded our strongest side with the exception of Diaby who was missing,say no more

[augie]

Wilshire made a remark to a few of the media hacks recently that they had labelled him as good as messi when he was injured - the implication of his comment was that he suddenly became a much better player in people's eyes when he was out injured and I believe the same criteria applies with diaby and walnut who some seem to believe are world class when they are injured (yet again ). Of course if we get 6 games in a row from either then the love will quickly revert back to a more reasonable level

We are missing this guy SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badly

Since he's been out its been sideways passing to nowhere

Come back soon you twinkle-toed genius and save our season

Interesting that Wenger always looks for what he considers "value" in the transfer market but doesn't seem to apply the same logic to players contracts. Even if you rate the likes of Diaby and Rosicky, no one can argue they are good value for money given what we pay them and how much they actually play.

We've got no chance of getting this guy off the wage bill on a transfer as no one will match his wages and he'll never pass a medical but no doubt when his contract is coming up for renewal he'll string half a dozen matches together and get another four year deal.

And we should hope that he does get a new contract - I seem to remember a rising tide of opinion a couple of years ago saying that RvP was an injury prone waste of space

I'd rather cling to one of our last remaining top class players than see Lord Handbrake go and allocate those wages on another useless piece of dump like The Forehead, Le Chapman, Denilson or the King of Denmark

Abou will come good - I'm telling you. He was fantastic when he played this season and in terms of natural talent is head and shoulders above anything else we've got. In this one instance, real fans have real patience

Natural talent yes, but stupid even for a footballer. Number of times he gets caught on the ball is criminal.

In the last two seasons Diaby the injury prone Spud shirt-wearing has taken home £6m for 6 games.A million pound a game not even Messi gets a third of that

Unbeaten in all of them - twice away to Liverpool, away to Man City, 0-1 down at home to Fulham when he came on to turn the game, inspirational at the Cottage to set up RvP's first goal.

Worth the money I say - our only modern day Invincible

And to think the media once slagged off the Mousers because John Barnes was earning £10,000 a week whilst off injured for about 5 or 6 weeks!

The moral outrage that Barnes was effectively being paid 10k a week to watch football was hilarious... then...
