He actually put a good run of games together for us in one season with a decent amount of games the season preceding. He wasn't phenomenal.

As you know I am huge RvP fan like yourself but its easy to see why many would've wanted him sold. Not everyone is a visionary like you and I.

League is very weak
His potential was phenomenal, not his output. Before that Sunderland injury he looked a top player in the making.

three more years?! - is that to give him time to take us down and then win the Championship title?

If he was white he would have been "the new Zidane". His touch and the way he glided with he ball. Instead he was likened to Vieira.

I don't know why but when people do that it annoys me a lot. Never seen any injured player get some mythical abilities in any sense. Think people always talk in right way about injured players and show them a lot of respect.
Diaby potential was phenomenal. Shame he was never able to fulfill it.

His top potential was to be a poor man's Vieira, a Vieira without the intelligence or the defensive ability. He had Vieira's physical ability and looked like a threat driving the ball out, but that's all he had in his game. He made Denilson look good, while even an average player like Song had WAYYYY more potential than Diaby.

I think it's just a case of missing someone who's been out for a long time, it's a tendency to remember the good things and forget the bad. I'm probably guilty of this myself.
We'll have to agree to disagree about Diaby though.
Country: Iceland
Yeah in Diaby case I always maintained that he had a lot of ability. Lot of things he was bad at like decision making for example was something I think he could iron out with more playing time.
Not gonna say he was the next Vieira. Pushing it would be saying he could have reached Yaya Toure level, but I think without injuries and more experience he could have been similar player to Dembele at Sp**s at least. Tbf to others I rated him probably higher than most on here.

I remember that screamer he had against Liverpool when we beat them 0-2 when Carzorla and Podolski got the goals.
I'd really thought he'd cracked it at that point, got injured few weeks later and never really see him again.

Don't get all this talk of Diaby in this thread
Is he favourite to take over from Wenger?

God willing.
Abou spent years on the sidelines being able to learn from Wenger, I think he's ready.

The fact that you think Ramsey is elite and how you describe him....it explains how you've come to believe in your fantasy of being highly knowledgeable about football.
