Abou Diaby - The Forgotten Man

[infinitemusic7]

really elegant graceful skilful player. should be in our first team when fit.

[o0Joesh0o]

Nice work man!

[rcmanization]

just think of how much development he has missed by never playing. he could've been a worldbeater by now. But the reality is that he has missed loads of development, is extremely injury ridden, has a high salary compared to how much he plays, and needs a few games in after he returns to get into stride.

Is that affordable? I dont think so... as talented as he is, there are others who can give arsenal so much more.

[watagwaan1]

he was like the black zidane, arsene should seriously think about sticking him in the squad around now!!!

[HDFifaHut]

@watagwaan1 Hes injured.

[FameAU]

Abou Diaby is one of the best midfielders in the EPL. He's not been playing alot because of injuries, but that used to be Van Persie aswell.

[klass12]

@FameAU Thats exactly what i think as well! He's never had the chance to get into his stride, like van persie is now, because of all his injuries, JUST like van persie :(

[josevanreyes]

Hes graceful like Zidane. If only he was fit.

[DickHead69able]

0:36 like henry

[hikarulim]

this video always gives goosebumps. The video is great btw

[careverga666]

FUCK JOEY BARTON AND ALL BIRMINGHAM FC

[logicbloke]

Diaby should work on 3 things:

1. Fitness: barely played in the last 3 years.

2. Passing: sometimes he keeps the ball for too long and gives away possession cheaply.

3. Tackling: makes hasty tackles at the center of the pitch and picks up unnecessary red cards.

[Morphjin47]

@logicbloke how can you work on passing and tackling if you're injured all the time?

[Gi11360]

How on earth did he stay fit in the 2010 season is what I want to know

[josevanreyes]

Diaby is the Dark Knight. 

[UsernameUnrecognised]

He would've been one of our most prized posessions if it wasnt for Sunderlands Dan Smith's tackle in 2006....hope he will get his fitness back....but somehow I doubt it

[nocternalD]

@UsernameUnrecognised sarcasum? we are in 2012, that injury happened in 2006!

[saiisthebest]

Shit, shit, shit, better, good, AMAZING, injured for 2 months. Then repeat.

The story of his life.

[SKools2012]

Lol at the thumbnail XD

[SKools2012]

sigh he's injured again. i like him really, but maybe it time to move on and probably sell him.

[SKools2012]

sigh he's injured again. i like him really, but maybe it time to move one and probably selling to PSG or something.

[zak1nonly]

Quality video

Almost forgot how good diaby was

Welcome back.

[Warlord3096]

france coach, laurent blanc said that diaby is his final piece in his formation

[ZineAFC]

Diaby impressive in his last two games coming on as a sub. We've scored after he came on in both situations.

[gmanakadezil]

Diaby is back from injury, came of the bench against Dortmund & Fulham played good, we have good back up centrally now,

DM - Song, Frimpong, Coquelin

CM - Wilshere, Arteta, Diaby

AM - Ramsey, Rosicky, Benayoun

------------------------------­------------------------------­------

I have been backing Arshavin so much, but I cant any more, its not his fault doe he is not a winger, he is an AM or sell him,

NOW WE NEED A WINGER, ''HAZARD''

''Walcott - Gervinho'', ''Chamberlain - Miyaichi''

[bySneisen]

where do you find the clips sir ? :)

[josevanreyes]

After my Mother and my Dog, Abou Diaby is the most important person in my life

[DefiantSam]

ashamed to say i really did forget diary at one point, but he's back in training and will be a boost for the squad. Cmon You Gunners!!!

[VincentxLipe]

i love the song someone know how the song is called?

[cwdcomps]

@VincentxLipe The song's I Create by Audiomachine.

[VincentxLipe]

@cwdcomps could you upload? is.. like the song an the video is simply perfect, a gunner from the chilean country will thank you so much (yes, they are a few gunners here, almost all are from the manu)

[bySneisen]

@VincentxLipe how the song is called ? suck in english :L

[AS37Gooner]

Whats the song?

[mattbarden]

Get this man fit, un-injured, on form and he easily can be our viera replacement, love the guy

[pojomon1234]

i feel sorry for abou diaby. all those injuries really fucked him up as he was young. when he is fit he is definetley much better than darren fletcher, carrick, andrerson lucas, charlie adam and joey barton

[sodiumwaste]

i suggest we keep him - look at hargeaves and van persie! ull never know when an injury-prone player will become fit! plus this guy is an obvious asset he performed well for france in 2010 world cup but ill not sure where he can fit in with the likes of wilshere, ramsey, arteta vying for similar positions

[xXcharliegoonerXx]

i know fifa 12 isn't a real representation of the actual player.....but if he was fit and playing 30+ games a season he would be so much higher rated in the game..... i watch this vid and wonder how players like charlie adam, joey barton, fletcher are rated better than him.

[beckhamfreak]

diaby owned joey barton.

[RoyalDevil3]

Best all round player in the epl! cant wait for his return!

[ThaBlasian206]

Awesome all around player!! Reminds me a lot of Viera except more skillful and I really want him to be more in action more but he gets injured sooo easily.

[gmanakadezil]

Our strength in depth is starting to show with the injured players coming back, and even with 2 of our RB injured(Sagna, Jenkinson) the fact that we still have another two players(Kozzi, Djourou) to fill that spots just shows the depth in the squad this season.

[suckerkevin76]

quote from indaks "He's had 27 injuries in his last 3 years hasn't played more than 10 games without being injured."

A talent wasted. His first touch was so good. He was dubbed as the offensive Viera.

[iamchris1000]

i think the last time i saw him play was against blackpool last season and he scored that rocket :) hope he hasnt lost his touch. great player

[aswinking10]

i feel really bad for him as he is a strong, powerful player, he can be like vieira but he is seriously unlucky. 27 injuries in 4 years. but he can be a incredible player if he is not injured and gets a run in the team

[SuperSambaSam]

YESS! Love this! Favourite player. Thanks <3

[j4m1e23]

I forgot how versatile he is. So strong and great at tackling, yet brilliant and skilful going forward.

All wasted due to a pointless tackle...

Get fit soon Abou

[rob1d212]

I Genuinely had forgotten Diaby still played for us -.-

[pumter]

H'e still got so much potential

[indaks007]

Ask any manager he's worked under and they all say that he's one of the most talented midfielder they have worked with

But seriously as a fan we have only seen flashes of his brilliance and if its because of his leg break then I feel sorry for the guy but he either needs to perform this season or we need to sell him.

He's had 27 injuries in his last 3 years hasn't played more than 10 games without being injured.

He either performs or he should be sold a lot like Eduardo

[alexandervaz19]

@indaks007 Sometimes it takes a little patience , he's a great player , just need's to be injury free . Look at VP , he's been brilliant . Also some fans and haters have to realize that Diaby is a midfielder (a pretty good one) .

Remember it is Wenger that created the Invincible s , have a little FAITH in his judgement if not your own .

[fady02]

@indaks007 Look at RVP's injury record and match record before last season. Kinda the same trend, but we had patience with him and look how it has paid off. A little bit of patience with Diaby wouldn't hurt; especially since he actually performs well when he plays unlike Eduardo who had lost all confidence and played badly after the injury, which is why he was sold. He wasn't sold because he got injured a lot, he was sold because he never recovered and started playing badly

[MrSticklebrick]

@indaks007 Eduardo's case was different. During his spell injured we changed from a 4-4-2 to a 4-4-3 and Eduardo wasn't comfortable anywhere in the system - unable to influence the game from the front and distinctly uncomfortable out wide. It didn't take him long to find form again after his move to Donetsk. Diaby is the kind of player that Arsenal have been desperately missing over the last few months, with the flair and technique to link the deeper-lying Song and Arteta with RvP.

[ToxicFarms]

@indaks007 why would you want to sell him? he is pure quality, he just needs to work on his fitness

[hamsta891]

Also not many good videos of diaby out there and you analysis of him is spot on. too many ignorant so called arsenal fans who dont like diaby

[hamsta891]

another brilliant video and great music, goes with the video.

[ahmedusam1]

he still can be one of the best.. really miss him..

[Szczesny53]

good job with

0:55 - 1:12

[MrImbecilio]

great vid , hope he can contribute in arsenal well !

[VincentxLipe]

I hope he will come back soon!

[KochisarliHD6]

very epic'

Diaby is a worldclass midfielder with him Arsenal is gonna be The Invicibles again :)

[MegaReveiws]

i remember when he first came, everyone thought he was going to be a great player! he didnt really turn out very well!! too many injuries

[HugeArsenalFan1]

Funny I was thinking of Diaby yesterday... No homo.

[maestroEpIX99]

Really an amazing video once again CWD!!!

[AS37Gooner]

So underrated:/

Another great video btw

[jpreece18arsenal]

i hope he returns wearing vapours

[ehaze]

@jpreece18arsenal i saw pictures of them training for norwich, it seems hes back in tiempos

[MegaReveiws]

@KochisarliHD6 he's not a defender

[MrPassionn]

@KochisarliHD6 defender?

[RuddGerrath]

this man have skills, but never really got to shine with injuries and all. Lets hope like RvP, his injury days are over! Arsenal for Champions League title!

[usopp13]

One of the best technical players around. problem is injuries. i cant wait for him to be back. he is not the only 1 to blame for the 4-4 draw with Newcastle last year.

[G4MEZtvAFC]

I love Abou Diaby. He can be a really all round athletic performer both on and off the ball, and his height is another thing to add.

His skill on the ball for a tall man is brilliant and you're 100% right about him being forgotten. He'll bring back so much possibilities when he gets fit.

*I've got a feeling he reacted against Joey Barton the way he did because of some hard challenges on him in some games before that in that season. Not that I agree with the reaction*

[Fifawerty]

Miss him :( when he is fit he's a really good player

[AlexGunner100]

i remember when everyone were saying diaby and song will never have a place at arsenal... many now say diaby will never have a place at arsenal... maybe he won't, but he could also become an irreplaceable arsenal player, wenger wouldn't have bought him if he doesn't believe it... and besides i really like him and IMO he was never forgotten, can't wait to see him back... and he isn't the one to blame for the 4-4, shithead dowd is...

[gobs5999]

diaby = super talent + bad luck , even when he was fit , he didn't get his chance regularly in the middle , wenger used to play him on the wings & he doesn't have the pace to play there !!!

[DaGunnersRvP]

He's bald, he's shit, he plays cause Wenger thinks he's fit, Diaby, Diaby

[josevanreyes]

@DaGunnersRvP fuk off

[MrGn1212]

at the newcastle game he was the best player but his silly move put him in a lot of pressure

[StanleyWRC]

nice video

[DerBomber1992]

I think I'm one of the few gooners who still like him alot. I'd love the gooners to forgive him about the 4-4... It was whole team (bad) performance. It's frustrating because he's always injured. The French Robben...

[Dabadiestkidalive3]

Diaby :D

[XoTRIPLEoX]

Diaby is so lanky but he is surprisingly good at skills:)
