Nope, Diaby's story is sad. **** the money for a minute, I was not even thinking about that. Diaby did have talent and he produced some stunning performances which displayed that talent, but he was a guy who received a horrifc tackle and has not recovered since. And also even after that I remember him being on the end of two more shocking tackles on his ankle, one from Essien and one from some Bolton hack. He was never allowed to improve his flaws because of the injuries, but the talent was there. The start of the 2012/13 seasom showed everyone how good Diaby could have been. He played a few games in a row and bossed Liverpool at Anfield and then matched Yaya Toure and the City midfield away to the Champions. Yes, he did have his moments where he would be sloppy on the ball, but like I said before he never got the chance to iron out those flaws. Managers like Wenger and Laurent Blanc rated his talents highly for a reason. So yes it is ****ing sad that he never got to fulfill his potential and become the player he would have dreamed of becoming when he started playing football as a kid, because no matter how much money he has, nothing will make up for that. Of course, there are sadder stories out there in football, but that does not mean that we can't even have little sympathy for Diaby.
I have huge sympathy for Diaby. It also poses huge questions of Arsenal in that in 8 years they couldn't fix him!!
Diaby has now been with us for 9 years......**** me. Let's just keep him for another year for the sake of giving him a testimonial, which off course he will miss with an injury to a cracked bone in his left arse cheek.
