Eduardo

[danperkins]

Arsenal trying to get rid of, don't think he's been the same since injury but think Shaktar offering around 6 million, 50 grand a week according to football 365, IMO this guy is a steal at that price or around, goal poacher Robbie Fowleresc, i think a fox in the box is exactly what we need. Rather pay 6 million for a proven premier league player only gone 27, than for an unknown French dude that may or may not be any use.

[usernameunknown]

Looks shot to pieces. No ta.

[danperkins]

Hard coming back from injury like that was horrific. Was a fantasti clittle player before that such a shame but he's still young, different strokes i suppose but i think he'd be a super signing for that price.

[Gary Mac Legend]

A steal around £6 million? How many appearances and goals has he made and scored this season? I wouldn't pay more than £3 million for him.

In all fairness to him his leg was snapped in half and he have over year off, he picked up little niggles getting back last season and for majority played second fiddle to Bendtner (target man), stats say he got 4 goals and 6 assists in the league but only played just over 1000 minutes. Not great but not too shabby for guy who's leg was in 2 pieces a year previously.

 

I dunno i'd take him for 5 or 6 million once he passed a rigorous medical, we need a fox in the box type, a fully fit Eduardo is lethal in those areas. Bargain IMO :)

Good buy at that money, but a bit of a gamble.

You'd spend that much money on a player still suffering from an injury he suffered 28 months ago? Picking up niggles and never recovering his form? Who lost his place behind Bendtner!? His injury was in February 2008. I would definitely not pay £5-6 million for him, I've seen no indication he can make it in the Premier League anymore, doesn't look nearly the player he was, I think it's best for him to go to a lower league and a smaller club.

[Carra_is_legend]

Agreed. Hard to see that kind of talent for £6m but the gamble is whether he will be able to show that talent in this league, after the injury he suffered.

 

NO for me though - we are hardly in a situation to take a £6m gamble.

[Original202]

6 premier league goals in 41 appearances?

 

He makes Ngog look prolific.

[Red Mist]

He was a a good player but that injury has finished him. So no thanks.

[Maldini]

He's broken.

Lets be honest it was a shocking injury, and after a long layoff its very easy to pick up knocks and niggles, ala Aqualani.

 

But his form wasn't great last season thats for sure but he can clearly make it in the Premier League just a matter of him gettng regular action and getting back to his best. But yes a gamble for sure, as would be Joe Cole and Loic Remy. Tough one in our situation.

 

Thought i throw it out there anyways :)

[Guest TK-421]

He does look kind of buggered since he returned from injury.

[Byrnie]

Wenger praised him last week......

 

Eduardo is an Arsenal player and I am expecting a lot from him this season. He had a terrible injury ? he went through hell ? but I think his workrate is fantastic and his determination, which is exceptional, will be of great use to Arsenal.

I'd rather have Bellamy back for 4-5 mil. Eduardo was a great player but I think we can not afford such a gamble right now, even though I believe he can get back on his tracks and really shine.

[dirty_sanchez]

I've not really seen him since he came back from his injury, but beforehand he was a superb striker. Excellent finisher.

[Eire-Scouse]

He hasn't been the same since the injury..

 

Wouldn't bother with him

[fowler9]

no thanks

 

always thought he was overrated before the injury managed to get himself this big reputation scoring in Carling Cup games whilst not getting in the first team breaks his leg and is suddenly seen as a great player, put it this way if he was a Rafa signing he would've been absolutely slaughtered at 16million and to replace Henry

[Trucker Paddy]

If Wenger is selling him you know he's finished

[Ted]

Shame what happened to him as he was a superb footballer.

no thanks

Spot on, totaly agree..

[G Richards]

He looked a tidy finisher but I'm not sure he's the same player since the injury. Since there are question marks over a few of our players already, I'd rather steer clear, even at £6M.

[Unrighteous]

This.

[lucozade]

Eduardo is quite a talent. The injury didn't finish him the talent is still there. The problems with the lad are mental. The diving stuff after Arsenal played Celtic was what actually finished him off. If he ever gets his head right he will be a good player but I think he needs to go to another league for that.

[Ynwa20]

Bellamy at 4-5? Eduardo at 6? I'd take the pair of 'em! I agree Eduardo's a gamble but fox in the box he should be fine. Robbie didn't get clattered too much, did he? Nando, Jova, Ngog, Bellend and Eduardo= good strikeforce. DO IT!
