Last season at Highbury and first season at Emirates you could be forgiven for thinking Wenger had unearthed another gem. But then for some reason he got moved to midfield, I'm assuming to accomodate Sagna, and has gone rapidly downhill since then.

Who told you that? someone on here? he had a dodgy spell a season or so ago and has then slowly got himself back to a good level. He is far better than Walcott playing anywhere! FACT!

im convinced that Eboue could and would do better at right back than sagna-cant-cross-a-ball.

No, I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinion. When Eboue has started this season he has played as a replacement for Sagna in Champs League games at right back if I remember correctly? Other than that I dont remember him starting many if any games, definitely not on the wing. He probably is still better than Theo on the wing, but my point was that he shouldnt be played there regardless.

Walcott is appalling, I honestly dont think ive seen a player that cant even control a football play in the Premiership before.

I know you're a school teacher Swaley and being patronising is a requirement in that profession, but is there really any need to start behaving like your kids as well?

Are you the only one on here that can come to an opinion by yourself? You complain about others putting down those they don't agree with yet are guilty of the exact same thing.

As for that last part, guess what - it's not FACT, it's an opinion. I thought you of all people would have known the difference.

He definitely started on the right wing against Man Utd at old trafford and im fairly sure there have been a few other times...the fact is, when he plays wide midfield he is far more effective than soppy Walcott, who as BDB says, cant even control the football

I'll tell ya one thing - Eboue offers more than Sagna.

Swale_Gooner1985 · Post by **Swale_Gooner1985** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 2:16 pm

So the general consensus is that we actually really like Eboue!?!?

same as mate, he is a decent player, given far too stick in my opinion! He is more dangerous than Walcott, he actually runs at players and tries to make things happen!

I've stood up for eboue in the past but, even theo he is better than theo right now, he is still not a midfielder. Can you not remember the season before last when he played the full season as a winger and scored zero goals and had only 1 assist ?

Imo eboue is a decent enough back up for right full but he is certainly not in sagna's class - we cannot compalin that eboue offers more than sagna going forward and at the same time berate our defensive weaknesses and gung ho policy

Sagna is an excellent defender first and foremost and in a team and squad that is far from overflowing with quality defenders he should get a lot more love and appreciation from the fans than he does

I dunno about excellent augie tbh. Certainly he was absolutely fantastic in 2007/08.
He seem to drop a bit last year but no harm as he was so good the previous season......but he drop has contiued into this season

I'm disappoionted as I really want him to do well but when he come up against some tricky players, particulary with speed - he struggles....He may not be getting the support he needs from midfield however this is something that comes with the territory of a 4-3-3 formation.
Alves, Abigal et all have to deal with it so.......

Sagna has not been as good as his first season with us but to suggest Eboue should replace him has got to be a joke

Eboue cannot defend.And that is surely what you expect a full back to do(yes Clichy i mean you!!!)

LeftfootlegendGooner · Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:33 pm

Eboue is a decent enough player but his first touch aint that good either and i would love to see "keep me uppies" between eboue, bendtner and theo, reckon it would be 2 /3 touches at most

Would keep them extremely fit though having to run 50 yards every few seconds to retieve the feking ball............................"ave it" anyone?
