Which would only leave Bendtner, Park and Chamakh in the 'dead wood' camp?



Just saw the Daily Mail on it, great result.

Is it too ruthless to put Diaby in that boat? I won't ever argue his talent, he was a beast at the start of last season, but we have this all too familiar injury story. RvP, Rosicky, and even Cesc have had terrible track records for injuries. Pushing through with Rosicky has paid dividends, but there comes a point where you have to cut your losses. Are where there yet? I.e. are we better suited investing in a replacement for someone of his quality with less injury niggles, i.e. Fellaini?


EDIT - just to clarify I'm suggesting Diaby is in the 'dead wood' camp due to injuries not his ability, the other 3 are there because they're rubish!
