Vieira See's Abou-tiful Reflection
Patrick Vieira was, and always will be, an Arsenal legend. What he brought to our team can never be reproduced. Or can it?
Ever since Abou Diaby took to the pitch for the first time in the red and white of Arsenal, a lot of people commented on the similarities between Diaby and Vieira.
The more he plays, the more people say it, so much so that the great man himself now agrees with the masses.
'Diaby reminds me of myself at his age, considering what he has experienced, his club and his physical appearance,' Paddy told L'Equipe. 'I came into the France team at a young age, too.'
'Maybe there would be a good feeling between us. I hope he will improve and work, because he has the right potential.'
I see great things in Diaby's future, he is already a good player, and with a little more time, he will become great.

He has been pretty impressive but still needs to get more experience.

and not play left wing

I wonder if Le Boss is ever gonna clone a new Petit. Then, we would definitely have another 'Renaissance'. Flair & grit (bordering brute) are what it takes
Joe_@**
Jacky B, sometimes I really like your humour when you are not sarcastic :)
Joe_@**
which is to say you dont like my humour! ;) saying that, there is a sensible point in there (though it was not intended)
Jacky B
i understand your point. we are on the wave lenght, hence i see any offence. you are fast becoming the most welcome Spur fan in vital arsenal
Joe_@**
These constant comparisons are just putting more pressure on this kid. Just leave him alone and let him get on with his game. He's been very good for us and I cant wait till he plays a full season and show us what he can do.

And not a single word on my awesome title writing skills :(
Rocky7
did anyone notice the title of the article? brilliant I say. (better late than never r7)
G4L
i though it was abou-horrant
Jacky B
Yes Rocky, I would have been proud of that title if I had written it! Too good even for the tabloids. Keep it up! No pressure, but if you were also able to find a way of burying subliminal Spud-bashing hints in future titles, I would personally petition the Vital network to build you a shrine.

I do think they look similiar but Diaby has a long long way to go before he is considered the same as big Pat. PV4 is the best central midfielder the club has ever had.

I cant get for the life of me why we play hime on the left. He looks so out of place its unreal, I wanna see hum with Cesc more next season.
gunnerb
gunnerb, you cant be serious, I thought Steve Morrow was.
themadafrican
You're both wrong. It was David Hillier.

I think that Diaby and Denilson are both looking like future first team players they have both impressed me especially when they managed to boss the midfield for large periods in the CCF.
Arsenal1991
Gotta agree with you Arsenal1991, I rewatched most of the CCF today (at Stamford Bridge of all places), and that much talent and potential is definitely no fluke... it made me feel a bit better after the week we've had... also, it's hard to describe, but something about our style of play and our approach make it obvious that we are a big club, and will for the forseeable future be better than some of our scummy neighbours.
Andy-bayor
actually the best midfielder we ever had in recent times was a certain IAn Selley !!! class !...............................
