Vertonghen would be a great signing.
He cover at CB, LB and DM.
Yep he got to be good if were looking at him mate. Obvs you will get him but were in for him and our scouts are the best around at the moment.

Well it's Vermaelen who should be dropped.
Koscielny is our best defender and Mertesacker is second.
Kos + Mert is a pretty solid partnership.
Our weakness is LB. What about persuading Verm to play there full time, he's normally pretty handy for Belgium.

Vermaelen was not very good at LB, imo. He got exposed badly against United and he also looked ****ing miserable and even talked about not being happy with that role. He is a CB. Yes, he makes mistakes but if we can get a better DM, then he would not be as exposed. Yesterday, Ramsey and Song had shockers, so he was exposed even more.

Yeah, he definitely wouldn't make as many mistakes as he's made this season if he had a ****ing defensive midfielder in front of him.
Song is such a ****ing donkey. The guy thinks he's Iniesta.
Vermaelen isn't as good as Koscielny or Mertesacker. It's quite clear.
Koscielny cost us a trophy, Vermaelen hasn't.
Mertesacker is too slow for the PL. He's a lumbering lump, and not that good in the air either. TV and Kos is our best pairing, or TV and Vertonghen if all goes well.
Excuse me?
Tony Adams was not quick, and neither is John Terry.
CB's most important attribute is reading the game - anticipating the danger. Mertesacker is excellent at that aspect of the game. As for not being able to head the ball - I think that is way off. He started off looking second best in that respect but was actually improving dramatically as he gained more and more PL experience.
