Looking forward to watching him make his debut this week and I hope he can keep a clean sheet and provide decent competition for Arteta
One thing I'm a little worried about is his height, he's only 6'2 and that's pretty short for a DM. He's a good shot stopper but I worry about his aerial presence which as we all know, is vital in this league.
The likes of Blind and Gerrard really struggled with that side of things but through consistent playing time were able to improve, I don't think Diaby will have that luxury and I hope he doesn't get exposed when called upon.
Anyway he's a good DM and as a player that's plied his trade in France for a while I trust Wenger's judgement in recruiting him and as mentioned earlier I look forward to seeing him make his debut for us

One thing I'm a little worried about is his height, he's only 6'0 and that's pretty short for a keeper. He's a good shot stopper but I worry about his aerial presence which as we all know, is vital in this league.
The likes of De Gea and Reina really struggled with that side of things but through consistent playing time were able to improve, I don't think Ospina will have that luxury and I hope he doesn't get exposed when called upon.

what a carp copy and paste job from a few articles below. Can't you at least write your own article on Diaby without stealing from another article?

I am hoping Diaby will do well and I will be there tomorrow - but he's not a DM and never will be.

============
True but when it comes to the DM role Diaby makes Arteta look like a 25 year old Makelele

Some say Diaby has a disabled parking spot at Arsenal and that the council gave him a blue badge too
