WELCOME ALLESIA!! to ur new home. Here @ the Emirates our roofs dont leak.
Can see you play alot there esp in the UCL. Your presence in the squad will pull a few more thousands into the stands.
ps. I’ve always liked women names that starts with an A and ends with an A. Plus you are prolific infront of goals too. Finally we’ve gotten one over United wrt the RvP saga.
