So, with a player made in the Brazil but now a Croatian national, Arsenal have finally made their first signing of the summer.
I was sent a link to this excellent Guardian article on the player written before anyone was aware of Arsenal’s interest. Thanks to Gooner 48 for that - just read it and you will get a buzz that we might just be on the verge of watching another Arsenal legend in the making, whilst addressing the finishing problems so apparent last season.
And a couple of chant suggestions for the new boy.
From ‘The Goonerlad’ –
To the old Ray Parlour chant – Ooh! Aah! Da Silva!
And from Gooner 48 –
To the tune of Tom Jones’ ‘Delilah’ - Why, Why, Why, Da Silva
Winners both – let’s hear them next season along with some more.
