All About Abou (Diaby)


With him being my favourite player who currently plays for Arsenal, I agree with a post I read last season that Diaby is capable of filling the void left by Fabregas, the only problem being his knack for picking up and struggling to deal with injuries. There is no doubt that Diaby is a class act, a player with a skill and a touch worthy of a team like Arsenal. So I believe that Arsenal really do need to slow down his comeback from injury and of course the summer break should have helped him a lot. A fully fit Diaby would work wonders for this team as he can play a pass, head the ball and even has a great shot in his arsenal (if you excuse the pun). His graceful touch and movement on and off the ball really complements the team so if he can be fully fit for a good part of the season, he could be vital in Arsenal gaining silverware this season. He can fluidly take and control the ball in all areas of the pitch and can really play the box-to-box midfield role. He’s really great at keeping the ball and getting out of trouble, and is prone to use a skill or two. Flaws to his game would be that he does tend to drift in and out of games at times, but he does creep up for a moment of brilliance when he is out of the game. Many fans have almost forgotten about Diaby but I have been a loyal fan of his for many years as I had noticed that his and the performances of Alex Song were always good when Arsenal won games. Song has gone on to be noticed favourably in the public eye and hopefully this coming season, the same will happen for Diaby.

Below is a YouTube video that really displays Diaby at his absolute best, the game against Aston Villa being a master class example of his abilities
