Sell him, Song and Silvestre in the summer and buy a defensive player who can, you know, defend.

I had completely forgotten we had Silvestre at all!! I'm assuming he's injured eh?

This is from Arsenal.com

January

Mikael only managed 30 minutes of January action thanks to a thigh injury picked up in the month’s opening game against Plymouth in the FA Cup. On Thursday, January 29, Arsène Wenger gave an update on the defender’s recovery. “Silvestre has had a little set-back so he will be out for two or three weeks more,” he said.

Now my maths might be a little rusty but its a little longer than 2-3 weeks at this stage.

He's a very useful squad player

Meh, remember when Sagna and Toure were injured?
That happens again and we'll need Eboue.
Even if Sagna is injured we'll need Eboue, Toure isn't a great right back

Diddy Kong · 06-03-2009 11:33AM

Looks like we will have Walcott, Eduardo available for the match at Burnley. Will be very good to have them back, should hopefully add more urgency to the attack and hopefully a little more directness!

Thats a fair point and I take it on board but my biggest problem with Eboue is that he is being consistently used as cover for midfield ahead of Ramsey/Vela and even Diaby sometimes and he wastes alot of possesion, makes bad decisions, can't shoot in those areas. So my opinion of him is he is useful in the squad as cover for RB ONLY we have other options for midfield which should be used imo. So in that sense I think getting rid of Eboue would stop him being played in midfield and frustrating a large portion of Arsenal fans when he gets on or near the ball in advanced positions.

Yeah it frustrates me too when he plays midfield.
He should be relegated to playing RB only

Glad people are finally waking up and smelling the Kenco about him. It only took me 7 months to convince ye...:rolleyes:

Pepe LeFrits · 07-03-2009 04:33PM

Apologies, master of all footballing knowledge.

Drunken angry ranting aside, I still rate Song as a player but he isn't one who suits our system. He's a squad player and we've got enough squad players in the positions he can be used in so I wouldn't mind if we cashed in on him and pooled the funds to bring in a top quality first teamer.

Joeyjoejoe43 · 07-03-2009 05:07PM

Lads have to agree with Pepe, Eboue is muck! He's as usefull as an ashtray on a motorbike..

Agreed, the other guy can go play reserves forever or something

Galvasean · 08-03-2009 12:56PM

Eduardo is our captain today! :eek:
Walcott makes the bench.

Team:
Lukasz Fabianski
Bacary Sagna
Johan Djourou
William Gallas
Kieran Gibbs
Emmanuel Eboue
Alex Song
Abou Diaby
Carlos Vela
Andrey Arshavin
Eduardo (c)

Subs:
Manuel Almunia
Robin Van Persie
Theo Walcott
Aaron Ramsey
Gael Clichy
Nicklas Bendtner
Amaury Bischoff

It will be interesting to see how they line out. Looks like Vela on the left wing and Arshavin in the hole behind Eduardo. Or maybe Arshavin and Vela will swap at some point. Plenty of attacking options anyhow.
Glad to see Gibbs start at LB, I see a big future for him.

I'd say your right about Vela on the left and Arshavin in the hole. Have to say I'd rather see Arshavin on the left and Vela up front alongside Eduardo though.

I see a big futur for Gibbs too, not sure if it's at Arsenal though if we retain the services of Clichy and Traore..

Frisbee · 08-03-2009 01:00PM

Also very suprised that Eduardo is captain.
Looking at that team surely it should be Sagna?

Id say Traore will leave now that he's had a big taste of 1st team football. Not to mention knowing that Clichy is pretty mouh untouchable at LB, barring a heavy injury. Also the way Gibbs has slipped into Traore's slot with ease. Unless he's happy to contend with Gibbs for second choice (forget about Silvestre) and or/backup on the left wing I cant see him staying at Arsenal.

Ah, Wenger doesn't really care who is captain. i think its a confidence booster thing. How many captains have we had this season, 8? 9?

Almunia
Fabianski
Gallas
Toure
Silvestre
Clichy
Fabregas
Van Persie
Eduardo

Missing anyone?
