if he is the best right back in the world then why isn't he our first choice?
Toledo trumpton says he is better than walcott cos he DEFENDS?!
Thats cos he is supposed to be a defender DUH!?
Not to say booing our own players is something i encourage but ADE and Eboue are a joke.
We will be a better team without them and if some of you gooners actually watch our games you might notice that 9 out of 10 times when eboue gets the ball we lose possesion or he falls over.(the bloke has some serious balance problems)
I can't wait to see him go.

A lot of these comments really sadden me...

Eboue has always given his all, even after being moved from his favoured position it was clear to see he came back to the new season so full of energy to prove to everyone he was good enough. So he made mistakes in games. But he always tried his best!

Even after getting booed off the pitch by his own fans he still went and clapped the away supporters the next game when the rest of the team just walked off the pitch.

He was played in five different positions with us and was always the consumate proffesional, he tried to do his best without ever a bad word against the club or the players that took his positions.

He gave us a different edge to our play as he was not afraid to take people on. Something our fans try to urge our other more gifted players to do often in vain. He took often wild cracks at goal but at least he tried.

Even when Eboue used to dive, Although I don't like diving one bit. I was sometimes glad after seeing the opposition falling to the ground playing against us and conning the referee at every turn. Just sometimes it was nice to have one player who would get our own back on them.

As you can tell I have a big soft spot for our Eboue and I know not everyone will love a player who is not the best but always tries his best.

What I am confused and saddened about is the obscene comments supposed Arsenal fans are making about one of their own. Just because we have had a tough few years and the media have been on our backs. Just because we have a French manager that people love to have a crack at. Because we do it our own way and yet the hatred and disgust we show a player who has always tried his best for us in or out of position.

Did eboue give it his all when he got sent off against spurs? well yes for the first 30 minutes but i'd rather him not be a clown. When Eboue did that he confirmed everything that people were saying about him. The guy is poor, he can play rb because all he has is pace and strength but in terms of technique and quality he's useless. Sagna despite a somewhat off season is much better than eboue. We should sell the guy for 8m and sign a holding mid.

Decent enough player at right back, when Wenger tried to push him forward as a winger, it all went wrong for him. That's when the fans voiced their displeasure. He's clearly not an attacking player.

I think Eboue has given his best and is time for him to create space for another player. good bye Emmanuel Eboue and Good Luck somewhere else

The only problem with getting rid of Eboue is that sod's law says that Sagna will get a horrific injury and Arsenal will be left with Gavin Hoyte as their only natural right back...
