After Pogba's comment on midfielders better than him, he mentioned Abou Diaby, what did you guys think of his footballing ability?

I can't remember watching him play aside from one game at Anfield in 12/ 13 season i think, looked outstanding, like Yaya but better at dribbling with it, may be wrong though.

Also, Emery looks a good appointment for you, though it'll be hard for you to get top 4 next season, winning the EL and getting in that way is very possible under him.

Weird one, Diaby. I remember watching him regularly when we had him and Denilson in the middle behind Cesc and always thought he lacked consistency. This was after the ankle injury but he'd put in one monster performance followed by a brainless one. That Liverpool game was probably his best ever performance.

That said I think people who actually played with him or managed him had a different opinion. Domenech, despite being bonkers, always said Diaby was the first name on the team sheet when fit, and some of the French youth team said they always looked to Diaby as an example.

I suppose he had that 'better when he's not playing' thing but it's all a moot point as who knows what he could have been like without getting his ankle shattered.


2.) 28 May 2018 09:15:07
For me like Song he looked a real player at Arsenal and IF (that word again:-) things has worked out differently having Diaby Song Cesc in our midfield would make our current cmf look a very poor in comparison.

'Reports' saying Ozil wants to join Jose at United, is he as lazy as you're fans say he is or is he unfairly criticised at times?

scholes_18_18

1.) 14 Sep 2017 14:59:51
He is unfairly criticised. Fans need to stop making him the scapegoat, its ridiculous. Lol but he won't go united that's for sure.


2.) 14 Sep 2017 15:29:52
I think he Might just do that Ibraim mate, United or playing in Turkey are the most likely in my opinion but he will have a lot of options once available for free so possibly Barcelona Bayern or City too.


3.) 15 Sep 2017 10:19:08
I don't think he his lazy. He is a gifted footballer with an abundance of talent. However, he is not suited to Arsenal because Wenger plays him out of position. He should play behind the front 3 in the middle, just like he does for Germany. He is not a right winger. Also when we we need to dig in and grind a win or even a draw, he goes missing so we play with 10 men. Our priority is to keep Sanchez - but seems unlikely.


4.) 15 Sep 2017 17:12:06
Eds - has Ozil decided his future after this season, whether to continue with Arsenal or move on?

{Ed001's Note - I believe he is going, maybe even in January.}


5.) 15 Sep 2017 17:39:53
Thanks a bunch Ed, ruined my day! haha

Ouch, definitely not what I personally hoped to hear as I think he is unfairly slagged off by fans and media. Also wonder if the fans' stick has contributed to his intention to depart, if it turns out to be true.

Eds, is a PL team in the mix? Or Turkey, as has been mooted in the rags?

Thanks again.

{Ed001's Note - off the top of my head I can't remember where he is going, I do remember it being abroad though.}


6.) 15 Sep 2017 19:23:43
it's a daunting thought losing our two ⭐️ players in one season, i just hope we have suitable replacements in mind. It does not look good.


7.) 16 Sep 2017 00:33:53
Replace Wenger is the suitable idea.

#wengerout or #wengerin?

"We don't want Jose (not that he'd to go Arsenal anyway) because he plays boring defensive football"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

scholes_18_18

{Ed047's Note - #oleout or #olein 🤣🤣🤣


 

 

29 Jul 2018 21:43:18
This may be a bit random but which of you posters on this page were trying to convince me Ederson was definitely a better goalkeeper than De gea? Nice to see Ed001 voice his opinion on the two of them on the L'pool page. 😁😁😁.

scholes_18_18

{Ed001's Note - really? I never knew anyone on earth thought Ederson was better. Maybe you could argue he is better in Pep's system, but that is about all.}


1.) 30 Jul 2018 06:00:58
Which is exactly the point I made ed01 when telling the young fella none of his beloved United players would get in City’s team and De Gea simply because he didn’t fit Peps idea of how a keeper plays.

I guess in amongst the misery on the United page scholesy has to grasp at any small joy! 🙄😂😂.

{Ed001's Note - Sanchez would have walked into City's side to replace Sterling. Pep even tried to buy him exactly for that reason....}


2.) 30 Jul 2018 22:22:07
Hmm, sounded very different back then. It wasn't about Pep's system, i was told he was a superior goalkeeper, regardless of the system.


3.) 30 Jul 2018 22:23:37
Then again, Mr Wilshere was the greatest English player to walk the earth so hey, what do i know😁.


 

 

22 Jul 2018 19:40:09
Evening gunners, just seen the news Ozil has retired from international duty. As a football fan, i'm actually glad he has. A terrific player who i think, along with many others, bore the brunt from the German supporters, simply because of his Turkish origins.

Positive news for you guys, least he gets to rest up every summer now, even this WC he got the most stick, not Muller/ Boateng who were by far the worst players in the team. Literally sick of the media turning everything against this guy, just can't appreciate a player can they?

scholes_18_18

1.) 22 Jul 2018 19:49:07
I don’t know about what has happened but what i do know is that everyone points the finger at Mesut like he is supposed to wave a wand and make everyone else play better. Quality player and if anyone wants to get on his wave he will give them a tap in.


2.) 22 Jul 2018 20:07:37
I’ve just read his statement and wow! If it’s true it’s an absolute disgrace! The press tried its best with Raheem sterling over here! If that’s how Mesut feels then I’m 100% behind the guy.


3.) 22 Jul 2018 20:08:45
I thought in Germanys first game Mesut was one of very few German players to come out of the game with any credit yet he was dropped for game 2.
The political side of things I'm not really up on but from everything I've heard or read about Mesut he's a very decent human being who has real respect for people from all walks of life.
His persona makes him an easy target yet if he is in a team that advocates his style of play he shines as brightly as anyone anywhere.
At Real he was outstanding and in South Africa 2010 unbelievably brilliant.


4.) 22 Jul 2018 21:24:32
He’s shown class in the epl he’s a quaility player.


5.) 22 Jul 2018 21:47:21
Well said Mesut Ozil, the people involved should be ashamed but they clearly won’t be. 100% behind him.
😡.


6.) 22 Jul 2018 21:36:33
He has Sanogo mate but in the premier league he's been playing in a very inconsistent often struggling Arsenal side and if Dick can make us more consistent and more competitive on a regular basis then I think the best of Mesut Ozil is yet to come in an Arsenal shirt by far and one no one can argue against.


7.) 22 Jul 2018 22:06:04
Just read the statement in full.
Your better off without them all Mesut.
" when the team win I'm German but when Germany lose I'm a Turkish immigrant.
My advice would be carry on your worldwide charity work and concentrate on being a very good citizen of planet earth that you have shown yourself to be repeatedly, Germanys loss is the rest of the world's gain in my opinion.

I remember the day after an fa cup win during the victory parade Mesut said " it was a fantastic feelimg to see so many people from so many different cultures celebrating together and all being happy together "
To me that sounds like one of life's good guys speaking .


8.) 22 Jul 2018 22:45:55
His response was very articulate and damning.


9.) 23 Jul 2018 09:53:52
Exactly sanogo mate! It's so good to see ozil come out, take a stand and be firm that his country should not bind him with such things. He is a sportsperson and should have no involvement in the political dynamics. Meeting with someone is not the biggest crime in the world now is it!
An article read that some Bayern official was quoted saying- good he retired "He's been sh*t for seasons"
Hope he has a blinder of a season to shut these guys!


10.) 23 Jul 2018 10:18:34
If just meeting someone was a crime then what about all those who have met with Donald Trump? And all the countries that have entertainmed him including Germany it self?
Gutter scapegoat stuff from those who called him a hero 4 years ago.


11.) 23 Jul 2018 10:39:55
It would be brilliant to see some of Mesuts team mates in the German squad show some solidarity with him by following him in quiting the national team, the younger and more high profile the better.
This time it's Mesut but in 2 and 4 years time it could equally be any of them that people turn on and make a scapegoat of.
The German fa needs to realise without the players wanting to play for their country Russia 2018 will look like a brilliant tournament in 10 years time.

{Ed001's Note - agreed. It could be them blamed next time.}


12.) 23 Jul 2018 12:12:49
I thought it was obvious ozil would quit the national team, i don't have him down as a fighter. I do think some of the comments about him from the german football side are siding on racist and should be investigated and dealt with.

{Ed001's Note - it has been going on for years ste, he has stayed and fought through ten years+ of racial abuse, not sure why you think that finally having enough makes him not a fighter?}


13.) 23 Jul 2018 12:32:57
I have never had him down as a fighter, ed, he downs his tools too early, i did predict he would quit the national team. The comments from the footballing side of germany do need investigating, to see if there is any racial connection. Germany have more mixed race players than ozil in their ranks.

{Ed001's Note - and all of them suffer abuse over it. As for Ozil, he has been going through it all his career, it is a different kind of fight he shows.}


14.) 23 Jul 2018 14:02:18
Exactly right ed. You could say that he is now actually fighting.

{Ed001's Note - exactly, he has stood up and said "this is not acceptable and I won't take it any more". Good luck to the lad. I hope he has the best season of his career this time out.}


15.) 23 Jul 2018 14:34:10
I read something once that to me typified looking the other way when things don't directly affect you.
Unfortunately for Germany it is was also directed at them.

First they came for the Jews but I wasn't a jew so did nothing to help stop it happening.
Then they came for communists but I wasn't a communist so I did nothing to to help it stop it happening.
Then then they came for me and they're was no one left to help me.

Angela Merkel needs to step up to the plate here because she and Germany lead the way on helping refugees just a couple of years ago and the German people lined the streets to welcome the refuge people into their country, watching this on TV I thought how brilliant it was to see Germany putting so much distance between themselves now and their past and leading the way with on a huge humanitarian crisis, the German government shouldn't let ignorant people undo now what they've worked so hard to achieve for so long.

I would urge everyone everywhere to support Mesut in every way possible because as Mesut said this has crossed the line way beyond football.

{Ed001's Note - you only have to look at what happened to the lower league side whose fans were being abused by neo-Nazi fans of another team. When they responded by calling them Nazis they were fined and the team was threatened with closure when they refused to pay the fine.}


16.) 23 Jul 2018 15:54:21
It's a very sad state of affairs when people can suddenly turn cheering into hatred and a national hero into an immigrant simply because of the results of football matches.
People do and say some crazy stuff when caught up in the heat of the moment but it's only when the chips are really down you discover who your real friends are and who was just a good time hanger on.
Mesut as a person has done a lot of good supporting charities all over the world I hope now those same charities and all fair minded people from all over the world will stand by his side now and stand up to those who peddle hatred and discrimination.
I truly hope his team mates start the ball rolling and help something truly good come out of something so distasteful and totally unjustified.


17.) 23 Jul 2018 16:03:50
The DFB are denying any racism exsists or exsited so an enquiry should be welcome by them to see if the truth can come out. It is something that should be chased up when an allegation is made 100%.


18.) 23 Jul 2018 16:47:55
Maybe if those who don't feel that Mesut was treated equally follow his lead things will change Steve but if the others remain silent little will change.
Mesut has kicked started the ball it's up to others to help him keep it rolling if it's to have any real impact or change.
I hope if Arsenal draw a German side in the Europa league we will make a point by publicly stating we will not let him be the subject of more discrimination and leave him out of our squad on compassionate grounds for any visits to Germany.
This would be a very public backing he deserves.

Don't know if you could tell but I was fuming when I sent the above message! I was in disbelief at the result.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on Casemiro. Also, I would say crybaby, solely referencing Fernandes, he was shameful as captain.

We've had a number of batterings over the last 2/ 3 seasons, yet a handful of players still manage to keep their place despite playing in most of them.

Take it we just have to get over it and concentrate on the next game, try ending the season strongly with 2 more cups!

On a seperate note, I love Odegaard, what a player!

scholes_18_18

{Ed014's Note - I imagine you were mate and most disagree with me on Casemiro and I just say what I see so it’s only my opinion.

I’m not saying he’s garbage but he just doesn’t do it for me, I guess we’re spoilt with Partey too.

Fernandes really needs to be sold, you can’t build a winning team around that idiot.

I kind I think you’ve been buying for the here and now too rather than so much for the future.

Love Odegaard too mate, wasn’t convinced at first but boy he’s got some talent.

Some big games coming up to pick yourselves back up too mate.

I’ve no idea where we’ll end up but top four has to be a cert now, can’t fault these young guns and Xhaka, Partey, Zinchenko and Jesus are the experience holding it all together.

Waited a long time for Casemiro to have a bad game haven't you Ed014? Can see you're loving the Utd result yesterday, you've been on the Liverpool page more than their own posters????.

scholes_18_18

{Ed014's Note - I haven’t had to wait mate, I simply don’t rate him, never done it for me, way to slow, caught out too often and seen him dawdle back to many times to remember but he’ll stand out in that the shit show you call a midfield.

Never been caught up in the media hype and your fan base hype of how good you are either, prefer to watch with my own eyes.

Souness summed your team up to perfection when he royally butt humped Gary Neville after he tried to say Liverpool hadn’t been that good in the 2nd half! ?

I love it from the fact it proved plenty of my points about you sheep in wolves clothing mate.

You’ve literally been winging it all season.

There’s no way I outnumber their posts slaughtering your crybabies! ???

Not a chance you'll finish ahead of us ED.

Well the City page is about as full as their stadium so no point giving them a visit. and the other two teams rarely lose so no point giving them the finger. Arsenal fans on the other hand, love giving it the big one, but reality is, you're rubbish and its very satisfying fishing for some comments on here truth be told ?????.

You mention the £, how much have Arsenal spent under Arteta? Yet, you're just as bad as when he first took over???.

scholes_18_18

{Ed014's Note - you wish mate, your side is just a mishmash of prima donnas and over rated shite as usual.

One minute they’re awesome the next their woeful.

You haven’t been any better since Fergie left you dreamer! ????

As for your fishing, 3/10 please try much harder! ?‍♂️?

I am the second coming of Arsene Wenger ED014, not Arteta, no more false dawns. On a serious note, we have been sh1t this season yet we're still ahead of you, how bad are you?

scholes_18_18

{Ed014's Note - that would be remotely true if you hadn’t spent a billion bucks to be shit and remember we still have a game in hand.

I know you are always a little premature ?? but prob better to keep your powder dry until you actually achieve something.

I always wonder why fans of such an allegedly huge club are not on the Liverpool, City or Chelsea pages giving it large, oh wait, I know why! ???

What's that, 4 games without a goal since 2005? #ARTETAIN! No cup competitions, 'trusting the process', making big leaps forward = still not in the top 4 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

{Ed014's Note - if there’s a poster who knows how to embarrass himself after his team wins a game, step forward Scholesy! ?‍♂️???

Another rise from the ashes is it mate, another false dawn or is this the real thing.

Is Elanga the latest new Ronaldo, please keep us updated mate as it’s a beautiful thing to watch! ???
