Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reveals Per Mertesackers role as debt collector at Arsenal England midfield man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain revealed that Mertesacker takes his role seriously. Very seriously. Anyone guilty of breaking the rules is fined – and there are no exceptions. He said “Yes, he has got me with a few fines,” admitted Oxlade-Chamberlain, who then went on to list the kind of offences that incur the wrath of Mertesacker. “You get them for being late for meetings or for dinner, or for breakfast in the morning when we are at hotels,” said Oxlade-Chamberlain. “You get the fines for being late for training, using your telephone in the wrong areas of the training ground, on your phones in the dressing room... stuff like that. We have to make sure we keep time and keep our standards high. So Per makes sure he stays on top of everyone in that respect.” “He is never late! He is too efficient,” he said. “ But if he was late, he would accept the fine. And we would try to hit him with a big one if it happened. We would definitely try!
