😆 He makes it sound like he was at the rough end of it. If only Diaby hadn't broken his leg against Smith's foot... who knows what could have happened? Dan Smith might have been prime minister today if it weren't for his encounter with menacing Abou. His potential was endless.
I know it's all in the past but it's honestly hard to not wonder whether things would have turned out differently if Diaby, Eduardo and Ramsey had not broken their legs.
You could argue that Diaby's injury was something the club should have been able to navigate around but Eduardo's injury and the impact that game against Birmingham had ended up costing us the title more than anything else. Plus he was starting to show some good form going into that game.
Ramsey - well, we were robbed of one of the best midfield talents in the world. I think he's still behind schedule in his development - he's seriously lucky and resilient to come back from that leg break and also recapture his form. Not enough credit is given to his strength of character.Â
Edit: Just looked at some of Eduardo's goals in his Arsenal days - I think he was a very promising player. Rough around the edges outside the box but razor sharp otherwise.
