Where have all the chants gone? Sitting in the pub after the Macclesfield game my pal Matt pointed out that with so many new players in the side, we've not had time to think up chants for most of them. Of the side that played Man United probably only Arthur Masuaku (who is better than Lukaku) and Mark Noble have their own chants. Even Arnautovic doesn't appear to have a song, apart from the Stoke-style chants of "Arnie! Arnie!".
Some of our injured or dropped players have chants and songs, namely Adrian, Lanzini, Andy Carroll and Winston Reid. But the new boys are bereft of songs. In fact our last really good song was something about a certain French midfielder.
Someone on the Facebook group Upton Parklife suggested that Yarmolenko might scan to I'm Gonna Be by the Proclaimers ("Yarmolenko! Yarmolenko! Der der, der, der, der, der, der, der!" etc) which is promising. On current form Declan Rice deserves a chant ("he's not Irish anymore!"?) as do Issa Diop, Fabian Balbuena, Lukasz Fabianski, Arnie and Felipe Anderson. Any suggestions?

Apart from Bubbles it's hard to ascertain any chants such as northbank Norman, East East East London or his name is Miklosko
Liam on twitter has just said that at Everton there was a chant for Yarmolenko to the tune of Rockin' All Over The World. Guess it will take time. I always liked "Big Fat Sam went to Spain in a Ford Fiesta" for Alex Song.
Also had a comment from Slim on twitter suggesting Yah Mo Be There by James Ingram and Michael McDonald for a Yarmolenko song.
Issa Diop, oh Issa Diop / Issa's gonna Diop on you
to the tune of Toots & the Maytals 'Pressure Drop'. Could work?
Also...
Baalll-bue-na! He's the man, the man with the sliding crunch!
He'll eat your lunch...
