Why not I don't see why you guys want Vermaelen TBH. I can see why you want a CB (or two) but I don't think Thomas is what you need. He'd be an improvement on what you have but you also be signing Arsenal's fourth choice CB and I thought you'd aspire to more than that.
To be honest, I don't rate Vermaelen, but considering the huge difference in salaries, I guess LVG knows better than me! Wenger is saying he's not for sale to United, but isn't that a repeat of RVP?
He has twelve months left on their contract too, just like RvP. however, Arsenal and Wenger are saying they've learnt from the RvP sale too.
As I said above, I don't think he is. He is like Agger for us; good on the ball, able to hit a long shot but as a better reputation for this than reality and is injury prone too, plus his actual defending is suspect. Would you like to sign Agger instead?
I had no idea there had been a link between United and Vermaelen this Summer. Why the hell has it not been mentioned until now?
Been rumours for weeks now Watfrod R, but this time of the year there are rumours about everyone. This one seems to be genuine
It's crazy, right? Matth's usually so good at keeping us updated about this sort of stuff. He's really dropped the ball on this Vermaelen thing. I'm gonna get my transfer rumours from Twitter in future...
