So, hello, Marouane Chamakh,
Our new Number 29.
You used to play for the Girondins of Bordeaux
In an away shirt that was as red as the well-known wine of that region.
But now you will play in Arsenal’s royal red.
You left behind Yoann and club president Jean-Louis Triaud,
Your new friends will be Emmanuel, Nicklas and Theo.
Today we saw you holding up your new shirt with
Arsene grinning happily at all the lenses in
The kind of shirt I associate with comic screenwriter Larry David.
We hope you’ll score lots of goals this season
And especially lots from the passes and crosses of Cesc Fabregas.
Like you, he joined the club with a terrible haircut. Perhaps
During the summer you could get a haircut as good as his
And then not try to bunk off to Barcelona either.
So, hello, Marouane Chamakh,
Our new Number 29.
