Arsenal midfield duo Abou Diaby and Denilson should be the first two players (on a very long list) to pack their bags and head straight for the Emirates exit doors when the summer transfer window opens.
As a diehard Arsenal fan, I am simply fed up of watching these two midfielders parade on the pitch like their great when clearly they’re the opposite.
In my opinion, both players lack desire and heart, and quite frankly, have overstayed their welcome at the North London side. To be honest, I’ve just had enough of them.
This is not just a sudden outburst due to Saturdays result against Manchester United in the F.A Cup at Old Trafford. Truth be told, I have been watching Arsenal intently this season (as I have been every year), and see Diaby and Denilson as major liabilities to the team.
I know some Arsenal fans will be reading this thinking I’m off my head and that I should be positive, but whilst these two ‘footballers’ are on the Arsenal payroll my doubts over the team lifting some silverware will remain intact.
As stated earlier, my opinion on these two are not purely based on their performances from Saturdays game, it’s based on the entire season and years gone by.
Here are my reasons to support my case over why Abou Diaby and Denilson need to be sold at the earliest opportunity:
Let me start with Abou Diaby. Although the 24-year-old appears to have some skill in those lanky legs of his, honestly, the Frenchman lacks movement (in terms of tracking back) and holds the ball for far too long in my opinion. I know he has suffered a lot of horrible injuries in the past (and even earlier on in the season) as an Arsenal player, but when I watch him play, I truly believe he doesn’t care about the club. I know that sounds bad to say, but that’s what I perceive from his body language and facial expressions whilst he’s on the pitch. The midfielder has been likened to the legendary Patrick Vieira by several journalists and Arsene Wenger himself in the past, but I fail to see the comparison. The only thing similar between him and Patrick is their nationality, that’s it.

Denilson must go sell him to shaktar so he can play with willian. But personally, I like Diaby and would love to keep him. Many forget that even though he is a squad player, he starts and plays good for France, but in a more attacking role. The problem is that Cesc is turning more and more into a Xabi Alonso type player, creating from deep.
I’l tel u new story. . Diaby had a fi8 wit van persie durin half time . . .Van told diab to stay calm. . .Diaby ovr reactd. . .Van got pissd nd thy fo8. . . Nw nybody wants diab to stay???
well Diaby has some ability and we shouldn’t let our impatience prevent us from giving him some more time.
Denilson I can’t defend so much. He needs to get his confidence back and begin to take the game on more. At the least, he’ll be a buddy for Wellington when he comes to ARsenal if he can get his head right.
But bottom line: with players like Frimpong, Ramsey, JET, etc returning…both players will need to seriously lift.
They definately need to be sold, they are both absolutely useless. I feel sorry for anyone who has to play with them.
