I'm fairly certain that Diaby is kept at the club only for being a live test subject for our medical team.

Agreed. Heard a lot of dodgy rumours about some new medical dude we picked up in the summer.

Think his name is Qyburn or something.

Change thread name to "X Files"? 

"mysterious research in the basements of Arsenal"... "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him..."

But why did they get Huggy Bear for the project?

Wenger' s injuries update

on Mikel Arteta…Arteta will be out for Sunday. He has a mild hamstring strain and he will be out for a short period because it's a grade one. He should be back after the internationals.

on Olivier Giroud…Giroud joins in training next week.

on Jack Wilshere…Jack is alright, he is back in the squad for Sunday.

on the long-term absentees…Debuchy, Ospina and Ozil are progressing very well, but of course they are not available before or straight after the international break.

on Laurent Koscielny…Koscielny has a little chance to be back after the international break.

Giroud's indescructible recovery continues to gather pace  🙂

Kos though.... 🙁 

When is this magical international break?

Ooh. I approve of these news.

Actually looking forward to Olly's return

By the way it's a joke that wenger includes Diaby, Rosicky and Sanogo in the squad.

I think Giroud's return will lift the squad.

Seriously what's the deal with Diaby. Is he fit? Seems to be training all the time. Surely he's worth a go

Forget about Diaby. He's just an urban myth at this point; it's impossible to separate fact from fiction because no one remembers the last time he even started a game.

It will be great to finally be rid of him in the summer and put that squad place to use.

But there is evidence Klaus.....

I can see us rushing Koscielny back for the United game only for him to then miss the rest of the season, god help us if we play the same defence against United and Dortmund.

That's not Diaby Biggus, stop taking the piss. He's clearly walking on two legs.

I find that Flamini quip offensive, Flamini though not back to his best form has been adequate recently trying to plug the gaps in Wengers shitty system virtually on his own.
who would you have preferred as a DM over the last couple of months?
