Wenger recently questioned the midfielder's decision to depart
Arsenal for the South Coast, insisting he would have eventually
given him a run in the first team had he bided his time. But France
international Diarra has blasted his former boss, accusing him of
dwelling on the past.
"I really can't understand why Mr Wenger is choosing to make
such a fuss over me again," Diarra said in News of the
World. "Why does he not move on? He speaks about me more than
when I was there. It's a very strange one."
Diarra also took a swipe at Mathieu Flamini's departure to
Milan, adding: "Perhaps to lose one French international midfielder
may be regarded as misfortune. To lose two looks like
carelessness.
"Do you really think I would leave a side like Chelsea to join
Arsenal if certain promises were not made? I did not panic but
wanted to play as promised. "Portsmouth winning the FA Cup has more
than justified my decision to make the move from Arsenal back in
January."
