Haven't heard an update in a while on Diaby's (8th?) recovery. Can anyone enlighten me?

{Ed022's Note - Diaby tore his ACL (Anterial Cruciate Ligament) back at the end of March 2013 and was expected to be out for at least 9 months. This means he won't be back until at least January 2014 if his recovery goes well. This means that in 8 years that he will have been at the club he will have made a staggering 92 appearances in all competitions. Meaning he averages 11.5 games a season!!!}

Wenger has some sort of a soft spot for the french players. I mean surely. diaby is a nice guy and all. but this is about football and glory. not keeping your friends on payroll, because you don't want to see them at a job center.

Treat diaby like an ex girlfriend you use to be madly in love with but dumped you. sorely missed but accept you will never see again and just move on

Thanks Ed. Wow, what shame. Great talent but can't seem to break away from the treatment table. Well, when he does get back to full fitness "it will be like a new signing"!
