They say he is 8ft tall and has eyes like pits of raging fire, his hands are like claws and can break a man clean in two. He eats Bears for breakfast and wrestles Alligators for fun. He sleeps with one eye open, like a Dragon, so that he can survey all around him. Nobody actually dares actually mention his name for fear of awakening the beast, so they speak in hushed tones about this mythical creature. You have been warned ....
I'm starting to wonder if Diaby is a real player of ours or some mythical creature that we've made up. But I would definately have a fully fit and bulletproof Diaby in our midfield. Undoubtedly he is talented and if he is still with us despite his atrocious injury record suggests that Wenger thinks he's a bit special. For me on talent wise, he is up there with the Yaya's and Pogba's. He is exactly the kind of thing we've missed in midfield, someone who would have given us better balance. Alas we may never find out
I can see your point about Carzorla. The little Spaniard is a class act. However I think Flamini is just a liability. He actually runs too much. Constantly caught out of position - that's his biggest weakness. Also despite being aggressive he is only a small 70kg guy. Guys like Diame/Yaya can just ease past him.
If the whole squad is fit and in form then my team would probably be: ---------------Szcz------------ Debuchy--mert--Kosc--Gibbs ---------Diaby---Ramsey----- Walcott-------Ozil-----Sanchez ------------Welbeck----------- Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Monreal, Wilshere, Cazorla, Oxocube, Giroud With giroud and Welbeck switching depending on the opposition.
