Oh and I should add that I too am sad it has come to this for Eddie, but he is a shadow of the player he was before the poor misunderstood martyr Martin Taylor survived Eddie's horrendous assault upon his poor honest-as-the-day-is-long British self. :evil:

Best of luck Eddie. 8)

a personal view:

It's makes me both sad and angry that a player of Eddie's abilty has had his career so adversely affected by a low life thug...a player who having arrived on the heels of TH's departure had much to prove, who as each game went by began to show his ability, class and his incisiveness in front of goal...one of the quotes that still rings clear after his 2 goals against the bolton thugs on that memorable rain soaked night in the Carling Cup was "He just doesn't miss does he", and it was getting to the stage where everyone who watches prem football, was sitting up and taking notice of this small, shy, brilliant striker - as each game went by his confidence and stature were growing, you could see him blossoming in front of the supporters......and he was beginning to form a real strike partnership with Bendtner who also seemed to becoming more of a pivotal player with Eddie in the side....and it looked like Arsenal just might be the surprise of the season...especially having been written off with the departure of the Legend that is Thierry Henry

Then....

Well, yes know what happened next.


Taylor may not have intended to dislocate and break Eddie's ankle - But I sincerely believe he did Intend to 'foul' him, (and got it horribly wrong) that attitude that quite a number of talentless, thugs who (dis)grace the prem with their ' Ave a bit of that johnny foriegner' demonstarte wekk in week out, an attitude borne by and from their managers - McLiesh being one of those (and let us not forget in the papers the next day McLiesh tried to make out that he and Taylor had tried to visit Eddie in hospital - no such thing took place - both Mcliesh and Taylor Lied)

And so a player of alarming ability has had his chance to really shine dimmed by a Thug.

A thug who now plie's his appalling trade at watford (I think), a thug who said in an interview last year..."Eduardo knows where to find me if he ever want's to discuss what happened"

GOOD LUCK EDDIE WE GOONER'S LOVE YOU!

That message on the club website (if it is from eduardo and not some *word censored* in the pr dept :roll: ) brings a tear to the eye :cry: Again it isnt the fact that he was sold but the reasons that contributed to it that saddens me so much :cry: :cry:

Following the confirmation of his transfer to Shakhtar Donetsk, Eduardo has spoken to Arsenal.com and asked if the following message could be passed on:

"Before I start a new chapter in my career with Shakhtar Donetsk, I just wanted to send a message to all my friends at Arsenal.

"The past few days have been very emotional for me. Although I am excited about the challenge ahead with my new club Shakhtar Donetsk, I am so sad to be leaving my home for the past three years - Arsenal Football Club.

"Arsenal is a very special football club and I will miss so many people - my team mates, all the staff and of course, the wonderful Arsenal supporters.

"I would just like to thank everyone for your support during my time at Arsenal. When I first came to England, I could not speak the language and knew nobody, but as soon as I arrived I was made to feel at home and part of this big family. Also, I want to say thank you to the Arsenal supporters - you have been fantastic to me and always sung my name and I will never forget this.

"I had some very difficult times with my injury, but Arsenal was always there for me - the medical staff, the management, the players and the supporters. Thank you everybody.

"Although I have now left the Club, Arsenal will always be in my heart. I will always look for the Arsenal results and of course, I wish Arsène Wenger and the great players at the Club well for next season and the future."
This is like the opposite of the Adebayor transfer - it just makes me really sad :cry:
Not gonna fuck a chair at him, then? :-P :wink:
No, i save such activities for ultra cuntslops and dublin-based midgets only :wink:

i was so happy when he came back i think the press realy did not help when trying to make out he was the only player to dive in the history of football, i have never seen a witch hunt like it, he looked realy sharp until then and would have been fragile, was the last thing he needed the english press make me sick, and fucked him over both times

i just hope it works out for him in the end, we should have loaned i think though.

A man with an abundance of talent and a mountain of guts to match - more guts then any of the fucking english so called "golden generation" the papers love.

I hope he is succesfull at his new club, if he can ever reach the level he was starting to show before the Injury they will have one heck of a player :barscarf:
