The word contract is only in the headline. Go figure.

That said. It wouldn't suprise me and it would be totally and utterly fcking insane.

Arsène Wenger has said Abou Diaby will be offered a new contract at Arsenal if the 28-year-old can prove his fitness but admits the France international needs to have full mobility in his ankle having suffered from what the manager said was an assassin’s tackle against Sunderland in 2006.

Diaby has made only one appearance this season, in the Capital One Cup defeat to Southampton, but is believed to be nearing closer to full fitness.

The midfielder’s contract ends this season but Wenger told BeIn Sport: “Diaby hasn’t a mental problem but a problem of injury. He is a player for whom I have great respect. Whenever he returns, he is injured and he goes from zero. He was destroyed by a bad tackle.

“The football player needs mobility of his ankle. When your ankle mobility is restricted, you compensate with something else. He suffered from a very bad tackle in Sunderland six or seven years ago. He was the victim of an assassin’s tackle that was never punished. It has restricted the mobility of his ankle.

“If he comes back, I will keep him. I always believed in him. In football, the most important thing is health.”

Arsene Wenger is an egotistical Stalin-like maniac, that should get the **** out of the Arsenal. You can't be doing the same thing year after year and expect different results. We will be annihilated by a sh*t MUFC this weekend, mark my words.

22 appearances in 4 seasons, while on 65k a week. There is something admirable in Diaby's quest to not quit on football, but surely he should be hatching up some other career should his quest fail. He is 28 now.

I wouldn't mind giving him another 2 years on a reduced or pay as you play type of contract. He is only 28 which is younger than Kos. There is still that chance or hope. But when you think of arteta and flamini whom are perfectly healthy, there is no hope going forward.

Actually, thinking about it- Diaby should look to transition into physiotherapy. He certainly has plenty of practical experience in that regard.

Oh come on... beat them FFS. That way we can say that we're on twice the points of United a third of the way through the season.

Guess we'd have had to console ourselves with 5 times as many PL titles :whistling:
