Gervinho is in. And what's with the Nasriccism?

Arsenal have bought Gervinho from Lille FC. Skilled and powerful, he comes to Arsenal on the back of a great season at Lille and with strong backing from ex-Gooner Toure.

As the gunnerblog post says, he would be the perfect foil to Nasri: 

"Not that Gervinho has been bought to replace Nasri. Far from it. Arsene wants to keep his fellow Frenchman because he sees Gervinho as an ideal compliment. Arsene’s plan for last season was to use Nasri and Arshavin as his wingers in a 4-3-3; the former all grace and guile, the latter erratic but explosive.

However, Arshavin’s poor form forced Arsene to look elsewhere. He needed a player who wasn’t just a keep-ball merchant, but was willing or extrovert enough to take risks, make things happen, and score goals"

 So, stick around Nasri, my man.  Good potential here in this team, and you have an important role to play. Defence should be bolstered by Cahill, Vermaelen is fit. Looks a solid outfit. Too much greed for trophies is not good- Hleb, Flamini are cases in point. You are but the team.

So my man, do away with the Nasricissm. Fly Emirates, not Etihaad, this season.
