Personal message From Eduardo

eduardo_ah
Eduardo: “Arsenal will always be in my heart”. 
 
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 Arsčne Wenger and the great players at the Club well for next season and the future.”

    easily one of my favourite players to put on the arsenal jersey. definitely did it proud and i wish him the best in his efforts overseas. i really do hope we re-sign him at some stage even as a veteran. stats wise, discounting last season which he shouldn’t have played given the extent of his injury, he needs a chance to take the league by storm again… peace and many goals dudu!

    I also felt very touched by his message and his love for Arsenal. I am sad to see him go, and was looking forward to having him in our squad for the coming season, but the reasons for him join SD are all very valid. Thanks Dudu for your effort and commitment,and thanks for the ankle-goal you scored a while back.. that was utter class ! :)

    BEst of luck with SD and thank you once again; we’ll never forget you!

    JET. Its about time some more of these youngsters got a chance. Jet is 19 now and by that time Theo had been given loads of games. So had denilson and obviously playerss like Cesc and Anelka. This season I think Wilshere should be given mmore opportunities ahead of Walcott, JET ahead of Bendtner (and I am a big fan of Bendtner), Ramsey ahead of denilson, Frimpong as a back up to Song, Lansbury should be getting games probably as a sub and if a new goalkeeper isn’t signed then make Chesney the number 1 now and see how he does. If he can’t handle it and makes lots of mistakes then drop him send him on loan and then buying a new keeper in january is a must. And Chesney will still have many years to rebuild any confidence he may have lost.

    And I also want to pay tribute to Eddy and wish him well in the future. I think a change of league and getting away from the thug loving english media will be a good thing for him. Hopefully he’ll be the one to score the goal that puts sp*rs out of the Champions League.

    Dudu, I wish we had more men with half gut and mental strength that you embody, in Arsenal. We’ll miss you dearly, but just like Wenger said, if it’s best for you then so be it.
    Wishing you all the best.

    Eduardo will always be loved at Arsenal. The incredible “tennis” goal was worth the season ticket and his comeback was too emotional for many including me. Best of luck to Arsenal’s number 9 who came to us when Henry left.

    In my opinion AW is crazy for letting this guy go I always said he was are best striker, its just a shame that AW’s system he played last season killed him off. The Specail 1 would like to take this time out to wish him all the best and hope he can on to prove to the world that he is the worlds most Deadliest striker.

    I am proposing that Arsenal fans World wide post letters once a week for the next four weeks to UEFA & FIFA complaining about Barcelona FC’s persistent public ‘tapping up’ of Cesc Fabregas.
    Also post a letter just once to Arsenal FC requesting that they formally complain to UEFA & FIFA about Barcelona FC’s rule breaking disrespectful behaviour.
    I have drawn up 3 template letters that I will email to willing participants. All that you will need to do is type in your own Name & Address before printing off & posting.
    A momentum is needed in this regard & can be boosted by you forwarding the email I send you to every single one of your Arsenal FC supporting family & friends and encouraging them to post letters off once every week for four weeks to UEFA & FIFA and just once to Arsenal FC.
    The aim of repetitive letters would be to create an Administrative headache for UEFA & FIFA with hopefully thousands of letters received from all over the world. It would be a great way to display the strength of feeling from Arsenal FC fans.
    The purpose of the single letter to Arsenal FC is again to display the strength of feeling from Arsenal FC fans.
    The Arsenal FC hierarchy seem to exist in an ‘Ivory Tower’ immune or just simply ignorant to the feelings & wishes of their fans.

    My email address for this campaign from where I will email you the letter templates is ……..

    ArsenalFansHateBarcelonaFC@gmail.com

    COME ON !! …… Lets DO this & be taking substantive action for a change instead of simply bleating on web blogs which achieves nothing as it goes unnoticed by those who should hear the complaints the most.

    I will post this on the anti Barca facebook group ………….

    http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=116042895106146

    & also on as many Arsenal blogs as possible via ……………

    Thanks for all you gave us. Thanks for special goals and special memories. You provided some great memories.

    I hope all your speed and skills come back and you have a long and injury free career. you’ve endured the one all players fear most I think.

    The manner in which you conducted yourself is so completely commendable. YOu persevered through your injury and simply played again, that alone was something, but you also played again for the Arsenal and in the EPL and that was special. You were also an example to others in the manner you let your football do the talking for you. And I so respect that. thanks again and I for one will certainly keep my eye out for you.
