Not according to Wenger last year. He said that the only reason he didn't play Diaby centrally was because he didn't have the discipline. And by all accounts it looks like he still doesn't. It's been obvious even in a defensively less demanding role such as the one he's had for the last few weeks. I think he's doing alright as an attacking player though. He was good against Portsmouth and Standard.Lancelot said:Regarding his positional discipline, could it be that Wenger simply likes him the way he naturally is and, therefore, encourages him to stay a little high up and dribble whenever he has the chance?Big Poppa said:He is capable of being a defensive asset, i.e. cut out the dribbling. But he plays too far forward and lacks any positional discipline. We have far more intelligent, agile and creative players already, so there's no need for him to stand off the striker. I just wish someone could politely point that out to him.
