Giovanni Van Bronckhorst

***CHAMPIONS' LEAGUE Arsenal v. Real Mallorca Two outstanding contributions to the Gunner's emphatic home win: his inch-perfect cross to Bergkamp's forehead, for a dynamic flying header into the back of the net; and his speedily-taken free kick releasing Henry in the dying moments of the game to secure the essential 2-goal lead that will see Arsenal through to the next stage. As much a match-winner as Henry, and that was playing out of position at left-back! Superb.*** There is one of Wenger's summer singings that has already proved his worth. The Dutch international Giovanni Van Bronkhorst, who transferred from Rangers, has ...  Read the complete review

He is a really good player and he plays for a good team that are currently in the premiership. He has got a left leg and a right leg and so he is able to use both his right foot and his left foot when he plays football.

I think this player will have a good season and I hope he scores a lot of goals because he is probably in my dream team. ...  Read the complete review

When Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger parted with £8 million in the summer for Dutch international Giovanni van Bronckhurst, Frenchman Patrick Vieria slammed the club's 'lack of ambition', claiming van Bronckhurst was unproven and not the calibre of player the Highbury giants should be buying.

Van Bronckhurst impressed in his spell at Rangers, and I saw enough of him to be convinced that he will be a ...  Read the complete review

This is one of Arsenal new signings for the summer. Arsenal bought him for 8.5 million from Rangers on the 19th of June 2001. He has won 20 caps for his country and should earn many more because he is only 27. His previous clubs include Rangers, Feyenoord and RKC Waalwijk. He has alot of winning expierience in winning cups because he has won the treble with Rangers. I think he was a good signing for Arsenal because we have been lacking a good pacey midfielder after Marc Overmars left. His main attribute is his electric pace and is bound to cause a lot of trouble in the premiership. He will be playing in centre mid with Viera and they will work together as a ...  Read the complete review
