Do we sell or keep Eboue at Arsenal. We seem to have off loaded some African players which would have been departed away to the ACN this season which is usually a blow for us considering we had 3-4 players that would leave us.

Could he be the last to go, would it be wise to sell. I would personally keep him as he’s a half decent cover, but i would like to hear your views.

After an amazing performance this evening, captain Cesc Fabregas who netted 2 brilliant goals today spoke to ESPN after the game. He spoke on how good we played and how pleased he was after the victory, but told us that we shouldn’t get carried away.

“Well we wanted to win, for us this is a good start but let’s face it we are not going to win 6-1 every day,” explained Fabregas.

“It’s just one more game we are not going to get too carried away with this result, it’s not normal, we had a good game, but six goals is good for the team.”

He also mentioned that the departure of Toure and Adebayor to Man City hasn’t effected Arsenal, and that their non-existance wasn’t missed.

“They are great players but they had problems,” added the midfielder.

“They didn’t really want to continue at Arsenal so it was the best thing for them to do and for us as well because we want players who are committed and want to be together for the season.”

Do you agree with his words? Should we not get carried away? Of course us fans are happy, but we shouldn’t boast too much and jinx the team. Let’s all relax and enjoy with what’s to come.

Hopefully we can keep up a good run in the league, also qualifying nicely this Tuesday (Champions League).

Arsenal produced a scintillating opening-day display to hammer a woefully out-of-sorts Everton.

Denilson fired Arsenal ahead with a curling 25-yard strike before new signing Thomas Vermaelen doubled their lead with a header from a free-kick.

William Gallas headed the third before a Cesc Fabregas brace made it 5-0.

Gunners substitute Eduardo was on hand to tap in a late sixth before Louis Saha tapped in the most inconsequential of goals for Everton in injury time.

Tim Krul - Newcastle

Though i would keep everyone updated from the previous update on Tim Krul. The Newcastle reserve keeper who made an outstanding performance against West Brom in Newcastle’s opening Championship game.

I highly rate this keeper, he is alot better then Mannone by far. Read the report below.

Arsenal will step up their chase of Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul by sending scouts to tonight’s Under 21 International between Holland and England.

The fixture sees three Arsenal players on show – winger Jack Wilshere and left back Kieran Gibbs for England – while Nacer Barazite will line up alongside Krul for Holland. Young Guns revealed that the Gunners were talking to the Magpies last month regarding the Dutchman’s availability but no offer arrived. Instead, Steve Rowley’s henchman are expected to make final checks on the 21-year-old this evening.

Krul won huge applause when he made his League debut for Newcastle United at the weekend as they kicked off their Championship campaign away to West Brom. An injury to Steven Harper at half time presented the prospect a chance to impress, and he did. Several stunning saves showed off Tim’s agility and reflexes as many tipped the youngster to break into the first-team on a regular basis.

Portsmouth, Wigan and Hull City are also expected to send a posse of officials to watch Krul this evening.

Credits to Young Guns for the report.
