Maybe he really does have weak little gerbil knees.

Some fans on twitter think it will be Bruno Mazziotti, our new Brazilian physio 
As he matches the outline…
Why is the club doing the fans like this, elite level trolling if this is what happens

He doesn’t speak English
Official confirmation from the Arse website
Technical director Edu said: “We are delighted to have signed Gabriel. He is a player we have been studying for a while and he was in demand from many clubs, so we are proud to have agreed and completed this transfer with Lille and the player. Gabriel is a player of high quality and Mikel and his coaches are looking forward to integrating him into the club.”
Mikel Arteta said: “We welcome Gabriel to Arsenal. He has many qualities which will make us stronger as a defensive unit and as a team. He has proved with Lille that he is a defender with many outstanding attributes and we are looking forward to watching him grow as an Arsenal player.”

Wow I can’t believe they actually did it!
That scares the shit out of me when it comes to defensive players but tbf I thought from day one Luiz will be beside him most times he plays so it shouldn’t be too big of a deal.

They made us wait this long and didn’t even make a video lol. Just a casual conference call with David Luiz

Which is a million times cooler do you not think? Half those reveal videos are complete shit anyway. Look at what Adidas did for the kit reveal that was baller, talented work.
Little novel ways like this to reveal the player are what fans want to see I just wish they did it on YouTube because Facebook is awful to use.

Yeah I thought this was very cool actually. Just a bit gutted it took so long, but I’m guessing it’s because of contractual/money or covid reasons now.

Wasn’t expecting this. Came out of nowhere.

If this had happened a month ago I’d be loving it. I even enjoy Willian and Luiz’s little back and forth.
Personally I think Gabriel just isn’t a super extravagant signing, I think he looks an exciting enough player and a good enough player I just think that it’s the type of signing we should be quite comfortable making. We’ve built it up into some marquee signing when all it really is, is good business a club like ours should be doing.
At least this kills the gerbils ITK status.
