Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has today admitted that he is considering his options due to a lack of first team football at the Gunners. The player has made only seven starts this season, mainly filling in for injured players and he is growing deeply frustrated at the club. Diaby joined Arsenal from Auxerre in 2006 for a fee of £2 million."This time I have not been called up by France and I do not play that much for Arsenal," Diaby told football365.fr. "I need playing time. I thought that I would continue [to play] after I scored (against Derby County) but it did not happen. "I remain patient and do not give up because I know that my chance will come. "Arsenal's team is doing well so I have to show patience and it will be unlocked then.
I do not regret my choices. Those things happen. "The situation is like this today but it can change tomorrow. The players that are on the pitch are not automatically better than those who are on the bench, but they do their job very well. "The season is long so I do not plan a move yet. Maybe later if it continues, but not in January."
Although I understand why Diaby isn't getting played I think he is a good player and would be a good first team player for a lot of other Premier League clubs. I think Diaby will leave in the summer and I don't blame him but I for one hope that he stays in the Premier League because I think he could make a name for himself in England.
