Comments on: No big deal as Diarra leaves Arsenal http://arsenalfcblog.com/no-big-deal-as-diarra-leaves-arsenal/ Arsenal Blog | Arsenal News Tue, 22 May 2012 14:51:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Spanish Fry http://arsenalfcblog.com/no-big-deal-as-diarra-leaves-arsenal/#comment-15592 Spanish Fry Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:58:23 +0000 http://arsenalfcblog.com/no-big-deal-as-diarra-heads-for-portsmouth/#comment-15592 If van Persie had the proper flu then it's going to affect his body's ability to recover from the muscle problem. The flu is such a drainer, in most cases it virtually knocks you out for one to two weeks. Thankfully I've only had it once in my life but if van Persie has had the flu then I think that would explain the prolonged absence due to muscle problems. About Flamini, don't worry about the media reports. You really don't know whether he's holding out. There are parts to contracts that you and I probably can't understand so it's just a matter of him getting everything right. I'm confident he'll sign and despite Wenger's quote, it's clear he is too. As I said earlier, just keep your chin up. Wenger should not be criticised - he's got the team performing above expectations and should be entitled to do things his way to challenge for the Premiership.

He said it was flu which keep RVP out for a week and now he says few weeks. Lord, that few weeks can be more too.

But if you look at his overall crossing ability, he is really poor. Actually I think he lacks vision, most of the time he doesn't watch his teammates, just cross the ball and finds nobody. Hopefully he can provide some assists like against westham and everton. When he will be a good crosser of the ball in couple of seasons he will be the best leftback in the world, his pace and defensive qualities are really awesome. Is Carlos Vela coming back this jananury, I don't think so. I watched him play for osasuna in copa del ray few days earlier. Spanish fry: I agree with you. Flamini has been a revolution and is one of the player who helped us to be top of the league. If he is true gooner then why he is demanding more to sign a contract. I have enjoyed watching flamini this season but I don't think he is a top notch player but his workrate is good just like Gattuso. I remember the Edu saga back few years ago. When he was expected to sign a new contract and he was playing really good at that time he left for Valencia. Wenger had said he will not allow Edu to leave the club but surprisingly he left. As for Flamini, even Wenger is not confident, he is hopeful so what does that mean????????? I hope flamini sign a long term contract though, he should, given that his main rival for the position is gone. darragh- As for late clichy have provided some really good assists and were crucial too.

I rely on his cross to Adebayor against West Ham, which led to a goal...what an assist. ramugunner – your comment on clichy crossing I think is illfounded.

I mean he's a great player when he's healthy, but we really ahvent had him this season and the others are doing fine without him. Eduardo is doing fine up front with Ade. I still feel we need to strengthen the defence before the transfer deadline. Senderous can not fill in for Kolo. Against Derby, Birmingham teams like that he can compete, but the bigger, better, quicker strikers in the league will eat him up. Djourou maybe.. but im not too impressed about him either.

Also Adriano is past his use by date...as a united fan i would not care if adriano went to arsenal...arsenal dont even need another striker...they need a left winger..

Our strikers are not the problem at the moment, it is the creativity in the midfield, and I would be happy to see Adebayor, Eduardo and Bendtner taking responsibility for the rest of the season in van Persie's absence. They've got us this far, I think they can take us to the title! Jay – Sorry, but I’m still against bringing in Adriano.

I’m sorry mate, but I think that is a very odd comment. We don’t really know what goes on behind closed doors and the assertion that he turned down a deal for more money is based on nothing more than a few media reports. Personally I don’t believe that stuff until it’s set in stone.

How can you say that Flamini is not a true Gunner when everything he has done over his time at the club says otherwise? He’s stuck through thick and thin and just when he was ready to move because of a lack of opportunity he made a massive decision to stay and has been rewarded. He’s been the most consistent performer throughout this season and always gives 100%. In the games where others go in and out of form he is always there, giving it his all.

Sorry for the rant, you’re entitled your opinion of course, but I’m really unhappy with that comment about Flamini. Without him, we would not be top of the league and just because Diarra has moved on doesn’t mean he should be criticised.
