I believe he genuinely loved the club, I will always remember his tears of joy at the final whistle, after he set TH14 up for the winner against the Mancs. Was treated apallingly by the fans when on as sub to play right wing, in a game in which everyone else was also shit. Showed great determination to come back from that, and gave his best when he played, the fact that his best wasn't good enough wasn't his fault.
I know he was a liability and many will call him a cheat, but I honestly believe he cared.
I sometimes think Wenger used to bring him on late in games almost as a scapegoat for others.
So good luck to him and I hope he is a success wherever and if ever he goes.
Thing is sid that wenger actually brought him on to play on the left wing that days so not alone was he not being played at his preferred position of right back but he wasnt even being played on the right hand side of the pitch at all

Sorry Augie, that's what I mean't, don't know my left from my right.
Honestly there are at least 6 or 7 players I hate more than Eboue, some may be better players but their lack of effort and attitude sickens me more than Eboue's lack of ability.
Rosicky, Bendy, Diaby, Denilson, Almunia AND flappy who despite a few good games still cost us a hell of a lot more games than Eboue. And of course don't forget the prof himself.
I agree that I absolutely want him sold but also agree that bendtner, almunia, diaby are all players that I would prefer to see sold ahead of him if I'm honest
