Wenger has officially stated that Eboue is free to leave the club if he wishes. In his most recent press conference Arsene stated: 'How many will leave the club? I said from the start I will fight to keep everybody. Nicklas Bendtner might go and Emmanuel Eboue might go. They can talk to clubs, but the rest I will fight.' The end for Eboue!? Jenkinson will play backup to Sagna if he goes. It's getting frustrating how long it's taking to get rid of Bendtner (though I wanted him to stay), Almunia, and the others that we feel can be shipped out. I think Arsene needs to sell before he can buy to free up wages. With Almunia on ~80k/wk, and Bendtner ~50k/wk, plus Denilson freeing ~50k/wk now that he's gone on loan, there'll be a huge amount of wages available if they can jetison the unwanted. I'm a bit sad that Eboue might be going. It's a good time for him, time to go and be 1st choice and prove what a great attacking RB he can be.
I think we should keep him because he can play on the right wing, in right midfield and right back (and because he's Eboue for Pete's sake).
Good. I had enough of this rubbish about him being 'good' for the dressing room. Stuff that, we are a football team who are meant win games after games and that means we need our squad players to be doing their business on the pitch. I would much rather have a boring player who just fills in and does his job as a squad player. Eboue had one outstanding season and thats it. Not good enough as a RB or RW. Thank you for the service but goodbye,Eboue.
I actually rated Eboue, I think he was a good RB and made some great advancing runs into opposition territory. He also supplied the cross for that RVP volley at Charlton a few seasons ago. If he is to move on then he goes with my best wishes and thanks for everything he gave to Arsenal [video=youtube;WLeiaMl4XDU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLeiaMl4XDU[/video]
Good guy, funny character and according to players it's just amazing to have him around. But footballing-wise he'll be no loss. He is defensively weak. I kind thought he was strong, but then Sagna came in and showed me what it means to be a world class RB. Eboue was good going forward but was defensively frail.
You will do well to get rid I think. Bit of a cult player like Biscan was for us. When it comes to it though, they were/are both pretty average! Putting it nicely.
