Neither Gilberto or Diaby are goal scoring threats and Gilberto is probably a better defensive midfield player but from glimpses of Diaby over the last two years, he deserves more than the occasional 75th minute sub. I see this as a win-win situation, if Gilberto is kept we got a good holding midfielder, if he's sold, more of Diaby. Can't really complain. Bendtner is still two years of CC games away from stepping into the Premiership squad on a consistent basis.

Why exactly? He's one of our most experienced players, and has been immense for us over the last few seasons. Wenger and the board keep telling us we don't need the money, so what reason would we have for letting him go? Also, why sell him to give others more playing time? If they're better, they can play instead. If not, they have to wait for their chance, like everyone else has done. Even Ashley Cole had to wait on the bench until Silvinho got a long term injury. He had his chance then and took it. Why sell someone who's been a key player for years just in case someone else might be better? Let Gilberto go? Why exactly?

I make no comments about his playing ability. I do know this isn't the first time he's spoken publicly about wanting more playing time (last year he was saying he wouldn't return to Arsenal to be in the reserves). Le Boss doesn't like mouthy players. - especially ones that haven't proven jack-shit yet. I think he's gone a year form now, no matter how good he is. Bendtner is trouble.

May be he can score tons of chances Ade has been throwing away. Really, from what I’ve seen of Bendtner and the field work of Adebayor; I think Bendtner is worth a trial.

Valencia has a shot at winning the CL if that's all that matters to him. This would mean more time for Diaby/Walcott/Denilson and I'd even entertain the notion of playing Adebayor in the midfield.
