I thought there was conviction in Diaby those few times he absolutely blasted the ball, accurately, into the net. I never understood the criticism he got. I have to check, but that season he was here must rank as one of our highest scoring of the modern era so not sure how you remember attacks breaking down with him?
Particularly given how many Emery signings improve massively in their second season.
For a first season (in light of the first seasons of Youri, Onana, Maatsen etc) I thought it very decent.
Not "irreplaceable" decent, but no reason to sell unless we were making a good profit on him.
