Accordian to the Guardian (boom boom), Laurent Koscielny has donated a hefty sum to help save a musical instrument manufacturer in his home town of Tulle, France.
The centre-back, who ruins the lining of his suits by pocketing strikers on a weekly basis, is reported to have helped donate €600,000 to Maugein, a local business that has made accordians since 1919.
The business, threatened with closure and the loss of 20 jobs, is understood to have appealed to the French international via the local mayor; an advisor to President Francois Hollande who also grew up in the area.
It’s a lovely gesture from Koscielny and comes just 24 hours after he’s called on the Gunners fraternity to ordain him with a terrace chant.
Luckily, always eager to give back, Arseblog News readers have solved that problem for him.
Class is permanent
That song needs to happen!
When you didn’t think you could love this guy more, he goes and does this!
“He wants his own soooong”
Song update.
He wants his own song,
He wants his own song,
Laurent Koscielny,
And an accordion…
Factorrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
you mean *Accordions* ? . .. I love his keen interest to music. he wants a song and he gives music a chance.
Cue the ‘easily offended’ who will no doubt be annoyed by the Arsenal
How could you even say that?
KOSCIELNY-wooooah,
KOSCIELNY-wo-o-ah,
He comes from Lor-ient,
He saves accor-dians
Victory indeed, in “harmony”.
When I first heard this story, I was like d’accord[ian]
*taps mic*
Is this thing on?
You’ve been a great audience, try the veal, and tip your waitress!
Actually the article says “French media reported that Koscielny is part of an investment group that had put up €600,000 (£495,000) to save the factory from closure”, which is not quite the same thing as Kos stumping up the dosh himself. Nevertheless, good on the man.
Made the change, cheers.
Are you and blogs doing everything you can to spread the word on his new chant? We need to be in full voice tomorrow in the depths of Mordor!
Who’ll pocket Koscienly’s pockets?
The gospel accordian to Laurent.
It’s ok, I’m already in the cloakroom queue…
What is love?
Laurent Koscielny
Koscielny,
my love.
And I’m gone.
Ahaha I love that!
Next week he’s going to save a mouth organ factory.
Victory through harmonica
I read someone’s post regarding the lyrics
He won’t let you pass
He won’t let you paaaasss
Laurent Koscielny
He won’t let you pass
Thought this was effective. But the other one is cool
That suits Mertesacker ,Being as tall as gandalf and all.
The Guardian mangled that story somewhat, so in the interest of accuracy here’s what the original French sources are actually saying: Kos has become part of the takeover of an accordion factory in his native Tulle that’s currently in receivership. The takeover will cost €600.000, and part of that money will be stumped up by our defender. Eleven of the seventeen employees will be able to keep their job thanks to the new investment.
So one of our central defenders now owns an accordion factory.
And I thought our team couldn’t get any more likeable.

I’d like to hear his name sung to the tune of Guantanamera.
Gotta have an accordian celebration with his next goal…
Well it seems we’re up to 3 verses to the same tune.
He wants his own song,
He wants his own soooong,
Laurent Koscielny
He wants his own song.
he won’t let you past
he wont let you paaast…..
He likes accordians,
he like accordiaaaans….
He’s got great big pockets…
We’re well on the way to quite the epic.
Kos is A# defender…
A Major defender …
4.
I believe he deserves more than that, teams like bayern munich and barcelona wanted koscielny and he denied them for the ARSENAL and he deserves a better song than that
i read this song which i thought was really good, might not be exactly the same but it was better than he wants his own song crap
Koss the boss
he wont let you cross
koss the boss
koss the boss
Because rhyming Koscielny wasn’t hard enough, now we have to get accordion in there too…
The strikers they dread,
From blue white and red,
KOSCIELNY KOSCIELNY KOSCIELNY!
If you check in kozza’s pocket
you will see SAS,
you will sell lewandoski
you will see Torres
as well as RVP

kozza is surely the boss

Loves accordions
Bloody hell.. we just cant stop loving this clowny kos.. fantastic human being.. 🙂 COYG
I can’t wait to hear this tomorrow
Just what the world needs. More accordions.
I thought the accordian was quintessentially German? Maybe Per will play the Stoke game with a berret and onions on a string round his neck. Then we will know they’ve truly bonded.
accordion is a huge part of french music. When i think of Germanic accordion use, i think of your typical oompah band-very metronomic, straight, and structured. French accordion music has more of a flow and feels more dynamic. (At least from what i’ve heard; i’m by no means an expert).
To the tune of I Love You baby by Frankie Valli….
