As Arsene Wenger would describe it, Arsenal have signed a new player. Yes, Abou Diaby is poised to return from the treatment table for the 100000th time in his Arsenal career.
Arsenal’s injury-prone midfielder Abou Diaby talking to the Football.fr, has claimed that he expects to be running again in a month’s time after undergoing surgery to repair his injured knee. The French International is currently recovering in France. However, it is expected that he will not be a part of Arsenal’s first team until at-least the start of 2014.
It was earlier reported that the midfielder will be out of action for at-least nine months and if all goes well, Diaby may play competitive football during the second half of the upcoming season.
Albeit, as an Arsenal fan what do you reckon Arsenal should do with the midfielder? Poised to be the Patrick Viera replacement, Abou Diaby has never attained such heights with the Gunners and is it wise on the management’s part to keep such a player in their ranks bearing in minds the wages that are wasted upon him. These questions have been asked for quite sometime now, but Arsenal have always stuck to his side. Maybe there are no potential buyers out there who would want to buy the world’s most injury havocked player? But Arsenal should try to push a deal with Auxerre, Diaby’s first club as a professional player who may be willing to take him back.
Here are some reactions from Arsenal fans in Twitter:
