DUDU...

It is actually sad to see Eduardo Da Silva leave the Emirates this summer.Although no concrete news has come out from the Emirates camp,but reports emerging from the media(widespread!) have indicated that he is set to complete a move to Ukrainian side-Shakthar Donetsk.The Gaffer however has played down all talk that he is about to leave.:

"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."

Before his horrific injury in 2008,Eduardo was actually a world-class player.A clinical striker,more-like a David Villa for Spain.(I am not joking)After that injury,he has not actually got back to his form or where he would want to be.Gooners will always remember his brilliant goal against West ham Utd at the Emirates,where he showed why he should be regarded as a fantastic striker.But since that son-of a ***** Taylor broke his leg,Eduardo has struggled to find his touch at the Emirates.It is actually sad to see a player of his calibre leave Arsenal.Also,it shows us the dirty side of football-"the career threatening injury" situation.

His agent recently claimed that "Dudu" wants to make a move to a less physical league,and I completely understand that.The Premier League is difficult to absorb and after seeing Eduardo's situation,anybody would want a move elsewhere.Shaktar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu,wants "Dudu" and  recently said:

"We wanted to buy Eduardo before he moved to Arsenal,not everything went his way last season, but he is still a player of very high quality, a real marksman."

"Yes, he had a serious injury, we are aware of the risk, but at the same time we realise he can give a lot to Shakhtar. We expect a lot from Eduardo."

Croatia's national coach Slaven Bilic encouraged the move as he said:

"I spoke with Eduardo. He was very pleased with the move to Shakhtar," said Bilic.

"He is going to a strong league. This season they will once again play in the Champions League, have many difficult matches and this is excellent for the national team.

"The captain of Shakhtar is Darijo Srna, in the team there are a lot of Brazilians - I have no doubt that Eduardo will quickly adapt to Donetsk."

 Personally,I hope this never is true,because I really want Eduardo to stay at the Emirates.I still think that he requires some more amount of time to recover from that "sick" injury he had.The Gaffer is giving him another chance and I feel that he deserves one.I hope he recovers his true form ,as then we shall have a strike force -"clinical and lethal in nature."And in case he does leave,Best of Luck  for his future...he will never be forgotten by us.
