Should Wenger contemplate a move for this Brazilian playmaker?

Here’s a question – should Arsenal try and sign Wolfsburg’s Brazilian playmaker Diego this summer?

I ask this as there are rumours circulating that the 26-year-old attacking midfielder could be on his way out of Bundersliga club this summer because of his temperament.

Although the Germans would want a fee of around £15-20 million for Diego, and the player himself would require at least £75,000-a-week – is this a player for Wenger to consider recruiting?

Diego, who managed to bag 6 goals and 10 assists in 32 appearances last season for the German club, possesses great playmaking ability, skill, movement and a piercing eye for goal as well. However, some may argue that he may lack the physical attributes required for the Premier League.

However, despite his obvious ability, the 5’9’’ Brazilian does have his flaws – this mainly being his temper. If he does not get his way then he will throw tantrums as he has done in the past.

In February this year, Diego was fined by the club after taking the ball off designated penalty taker Patrick Helmes and hitting the crossbar 10 minutes from time, which resulted in a loss for Wolfsburg. He then got into trouble with management prior to their crucial relegation decider against Hoffenheim when he left the team hotel after being told he wasn’t selected in the first-team, which left Wolfsburg with only six substitutes.

I believe the Gunners should definitely consider Diego this summer, if of course Fabregas and Nasri both depart the Emirates.

Yeah alright he may have a temper problem, but I believe that Arsene Wenger could curb this and get the best out the Brazilian. I’m not saying we should go all out for him, but at least contemplate a move for the talented Brazilian as a replacement for one of our potential want-away midfielders.

Liverpool, Tottenham and Aston Villa are also believed to be monitoring the situation.

Here is a video of Diego in action:

    I remember the first time i watched Diego at santos, i told my mates…santos has an amazing midfielder…he then went on and dissapointed me at porto,then made me proud,then pele doomed him. Diego fantastic as he is would not be a good signing. I think we need a hardworking midfield trio,we cant afford a luxury player like Diego

    Hi Mate,
    I may have something to interest you. I am in the process of creating a feed of all the Arsenal blogs I can find in the world, so the fans can check out the posts from every Arsenal website in the one place. I only have sites from real fans, so there is NO SkySports, Goal, Clubcall, The Sun, Mail, etc or all that “news” and rumours crap.

    I have been working on it for a while now, and already have over 130 Arsenal Blogs on board. The biggest and the smallest and the newest have all joined, and I want to have every single Arsenal blog in the world on board.

    All it has is a couple of lines of your post, and the headline will go straight to your website, so each post will link directly to you. You will also have a link to your home page on the contributors list.

    The site already has a PR4 ranking from Google so you will get a good quality backlink from each of your posts

    If you would like your site added, please send me your feedburner or RSS feed url and I will get it added straight away.

    All I ask in return is a simple text link to “Just Arsenal Blogs” somewhere on your homepage or you can have my 120 x 40 button if you prefer?

    You can have a look at the site (and the button) here:

    Let me know if you want to join….
    Regards
    Pat

  • naturally like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very troublesome to inform the truth then again I’ll certainly come back again.
