I have two more years at Arsenal and feel very good here. I want to improve more and win something with my team.[LNB]"The boss has given me some confidence. My friends helped me a lot and now I feel very good when I play and then give more for the fans.[LNB]"I've forgotten everything that happened with the fans. I'm very happy with the fans because they sing my name when I play and make me happy when I play. I have to say thank you to the fans.[LNB]"We are together now and they are very happy about me. So I am very happy about the partnership with the fans."[LNB]SolidarityEboue insists there is a tighter unit at Arsenal now Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure have left for Manchester City, although he admits he misses the African duo.[LNB]"For me, I'm disappointed because they are my friends and they have gone but that is football," he said. "Now we have Eduardo, Arshavin, Van Persie, Bendtner and Theo Walcott and we will try our best to do it for this place.[LNB]"This year is not the same as last year. This year we are more together and have more solidarity in our team. For me, personally, I think it is important to be like this.[LNB]"We go out together and do things together. This is important to have because we are young and it's much better to speak together and get close together."[LNB]
