What do you think goes through Abou Diaby’s head in the morning when he wakes up in his ridiculously comfortable bed next to his exceptionally good looking lady friend?
Is he thinking about why he hasn't improved very much over the last few years? Does he think that the injuries he has suffered have hampered his progress as a footballer? Is he formulating the master plan to transform himself into a truly world class player? Is he working out the tactical weaknesses of our next opponents? Is he thinking of new ways to look the absolute business on a football pitch without actually being much good at all? Is he feeling guilty about never actually looking like he’s trying very hard or cares about the result? Is he thinking about maybe trying not to get himself sent off every time a well known idiot thug is obviously trying to get you sent off? Is he thinking about trying to stop hogging the ball and slowing down our attacks? Is he thinking about maybe heading the ball into the opposition net, rather than his own, or making a decent tackle, or even shooting?
Is he wondering if he's really an attacking midfielder trapped inside the body of a defensive midfielder?
Is he thinking about trying to form some kind of understanding on the pitch with his team mates rather than going on random meandering dribbles down cul-de-sacs?
Or is he just thinking of what to spend your hard earned money on next?
That's right. That is YOUR hard earned money that bought his car.
YOUR hard earned money that bought his luxury pad.
YOUR hard earned money that pays for whatever wish or whim he so bloody well desires.
Despite having the size and physique of a tough tackling defensive midfielder he and his manager obviously see him in a more attacking role, The only problem is that he isn't much good at that either; he rarely shoots, he rarely scores and he rarely creates a chance either. He loses the ball way too often and doesn't seem to have many ideas at all when he does have it.
He just dribbles and runs with his head down. He is not good enough for the Arsenal and he is the ultimate jack of all trades but master of none.
I could have said the same about Eboue but, I didn't, as we already booed him years ago and now we have to pretend he's a saint because we all feel guilty. He has almost exactly the same flaws as Abou Diaby anyway so this article could have just have well been called " Fantastic Voyage: travel deep into the centre of ...the mind of Emmanuel Eboue." Eboue is not great defensively, not great offensively and doesn't look to be too bothered about being second best anymore anyway.
I could have critiqued Denilson but to be quite honest I'm sure that there is absolutely nothing in that boy’s mind and how he ever captained Brazil at any level I'll never know. Statistically a fantastic midfield maestro but in reality he is about as much use to us as a chocolate teapot.
Then there is Manuel Almunia, the goalkeeper who puts into his own net and creates goals for the opposition. And who could forget Nicklas Bendtner? The striker who cannot score. It’s too easy. Indeed it shouldn't be this easy to rip the piss out of your own players but the point has got to be made, unfortunately.
These players all earn a fortune playing for our beloved club and we are paying top whack to come and watch them. We wouldn't mind so much that they are so obviously terrible if they appeared to fight more, try a little harder or even, heaven forbid, show that they care about the result of the match.
Jack Wilshere has embarrassed many of his mediocre team-mates this season because not only is he infinitely more talented, he's also infinitely more passionate and determined to win and I believe Aaron Ramsey will also rise up and embarrass some of the current Arsenal squad one day soon. That is of course if he hasn't already.
There are too many below-average underachieving players in our current squad and they have all been in the comfort zone for way, way too long now. It is time to let Wilshere and Ramsey push them out of the squad and for Wenger to sign better quality players to provide actual competition for places.
If players are not worried about losing their place in the team how can we expect them to be motivated enough to fight for trophies? If your name is Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri, Alex Song or Robin Van Persie you would not be worried about losing your place in this current Arsenal starting XI because of the lack of quality in the squad behind you.
Might make you fancy a move to Barcelona mightn't it?
