Abou Diaby - Injuries Thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I will go along with this, he hasn't deliberately injured himself, just injury prone and in fairness the contracts were put before him and none of us would turn them down.

Firstly, I hope he makes a full recovery, nasty injury.

Secondly, I hope he now retires as his injury record is absolutely appaling but of course he won't do due to his nice wage packet. Failing that, we need to pay his contract up and get rid as he is never fit and is rewarded handsomely to do fuck all.

Finally, Dan Smith is a *word censored*.

Time to cut our losses I think

Do the humane thing Arsene, sit him down, talk calmly, give him plenty of fuss, say your tearful goodbye, give him a treat, carry him to your car, drive him to the vet and have him put down.

Just dont replace him an identical one, will bring back bad memories. Replace him with a better d...Footballer to help us forget him.

He signed a new long-term contract in Jan 2010 and a bit of research has suggested it doesn't expire until June 2015. In which case he'll pocket roughly £5.85m in wages.

an ACL, bloody hell. he was already injured wasn't he ?

time to pick up the insurance Arsenal and pay off his contract. he's done - he'll be 27 when he's back in Training and without a full season in 4 seasons.

its tough for him, but football is a business now and business is business.

imho the guys frame is too slight to carry him.

Turnip is more likely to give peanut head a contract extension rather than buy out the current one. The amount of cash being pissed down the toilet on this prick for the last few years is fucking sickening. :banghead:

Well done to all concerned :roll:

What memories are these? Unless of course you meant nightmares.

Diaby's own goal v UTD in 09

The red card v Newcastle in 11

The guy is a complete liability and overrated.

I just read about "sick note" in the Daily mail. Going have to let this lad go at the end of the season. Shame he looked like a player for about 56mins of his football career :blah:
