Ox In The Box

So finally Arsene Wenger has bought us a new, experienced centre half. Whats that? Alex Chamberlain is only 17? And he is a winger? Oh bloody hell!

Anyway, hes here now and by all accounts isnt that bad. I dont know to much about him to be honest, but i do know he can play anywhere across the midfield and can also support the striker. The only question is where will he fit in? I guess only time will tell. Heres a little fact file...

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

• D.O.B:           May 15th 1993
• Age:               17
• Position:         Attacking Midfield
• Born:             Portsmouth
• Height:           5'11"
• 9 goals in 36 league appearances last season

Ger In There

Wow!! Finally Arsene Wenger has heeded the fans advice and splashed out a bit of money on a new player. Gervinho. An Ivory Coast international and league and cup double winner last season with Lille. Admidttedly I do not know a great deal about the player, but I am still filled with a fair amount of optimism with this signing. Hopefully he will be able to forge a good partnership with RVP and provide the added goals that we have been lacking from our other strikers in recent seasons and who knows, maybe this may lead to some more big money, big name signings. Here is a small factfile on our new acquisition:

Gervinho
