Are you sure about this, patrick? I mean, there are plenty people talking about Diaby posessing all kinds of qualities, and he has bareley played a competitive match for us. Therefore, I would rather wait to make a final judgement on his qualities.
We have seen him a few times , he is not as good defensively as he could be , but that can only get better . Going forward though he is a box to box player of great athletism. Lets not forget that Chelsea put a bid in for him and he was Captain of the U21 French side with Ribery in it . So he ain't some obscure talent.
