Arsenals Diarra off already?

Arsenal's Diarra off already?

22 October 2007 - 22:25

Arsenal's transfer deadline signing from Chelsea, Lassana Diarra, has hinted that he already may be looking for a move. Unfortunately for Diarra, Arsenal's early season form - particularly from Mathieu Flamini - has kept Diarra out of the team.

  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • "For the moment, everything is going fine and I'm learning, but I cannot stay like this for ever," Diarra told The Times.



    "I'm not going to wait for a year because I changed clubs in order to play.



    "I'm not stupid. If I come to Arsenal and my situation is the same as at Chelsea, then I should have stayed at Chelsea. If I come to Arsenal, it's to play. In a few months, I'll have to decide what I want to do."



    He added: "I've played more games for my country than for my club, which is ridiculous.



    "When I came to Chelsea, I was 19, so to wait for a year is OK, but when I'm playing for the French national team with the European Championship coming, I need to play regular football.



    "When Wenger signed me, he knew the player I am. I've been in this kind of situation before, so it's not new to me. I've waited for a long time, but I'm 22 and cannot wait as I have in the past.



    "I know Arsenal are a very good team, playing good football and top of the league, but I want to play”.



    "If I'm not playing by Christmas I may have to go somewhere else."
