I don't think Hazard is needed now ... unless he is good as an ACM

L'Equipe is quoting a belgian source from what i read.

Hazard's natural position is supposedly AMC, but I was always under the impression he was better from wide positions.

€30,000,000 is a fee I just can't see us paying for any player, though, let alone a 20-year old.

I can only imagine that Lille are sick of the sight of us. Laughing

Arsenal have agreed terms with Turkish side Galatasaray for the transfer of Emmanuel Eboue.

Eboue, 28, who signed for Arsenal from Belgian side Beveren in January 2005, made a total of 214 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions during his time with the Club.

The versatile squad player, who operated in both defence and midfield, became a popular figure among Arsenal fans and was an integral part of the defence which kept a record-breaking ten UEFA Champions League clean sheets en route to the 2006 Final.

Eboue has been a key player for Ivory Coast in recent years, and competed in his second World Cup Finals during the 2010 competition in South Africa. His transfer to Galatasaray is still subject to the completion of formal legal agreements and registration processes.

Everyone at Arsenal thanks Manu for his contribution towards the Club and wishes him the best of luck for the future.

I can see us biding around 17mill for him at we could pull it off.

by Jay29 Tue Aug 16, 2011 3:43 pm

He might not have been the best on the pitch, but off it he was a great example of someone who overcame great difficulties and changed people's opinions of him.

lmaoooo

Lille would be STUPID to accept anything lower than a 20m bid from us. potential world class player, Ligue 1 player of the year, led them to a double, not to mention we just bought Gervinho from them....

im not saying that we should definitely go after him, but we've gotta stop being cheap because you just cant get players of that caliber for the low.

I hope we can get him as he would be great lift for arsenal fans. But i know that wont happen as we wont pay that much amount.

Anyway, what a week this is turning into:

Fabregas gone
Eboue gone
Nasri now going by the looks of things
Very important Champions League game
Liverpool on Saturday

And any players coming in? Uh... I'll get back to you on that one. Neutral

We lost Gervinho and Song for 3 weeks, it can only get better right? Smile

by Jay29 Tue Aug 16, 2011 4:29 pm

Yeah. Gervinho might miss a fourth game because our appeal is going to get turned down. Very Happy

EDIT: And mere moments after I say that, he'll only serve a three match ban.

by Eman Tue Aug 16, 2011 4:31 pm

Bye bye Eboue Sad

It sucks that the supporters at the Newcastle game taunted Nasri the way they did. Hopefully he doesn't stamp on RvP and celebrate in front of our fans next time he plays us...

At least with all these departures we should see some new signings soon.

Nasri can go to hell, he gave the fans no choice. What does he expect to kiss his ass, lol what donkey.

That a lot of games to miss, nothing is going right for us, a lot of pressure on Wenger now, he cant just ignore all this.
