Wants out, last year of contract, injury prone, bench player with 7 starts (due to other players injured) last season, injured right now. 19m sounds about right :shakeshead:

#AFC & #FCB agree fee around £15m for Vermaelen. Terms & medical over weekend. #MUFC ended interest after refusing player swap #bbcsportsday
15 :lol:
It has more to do with both their captains potentially playing for United. Not necessarily strenghten them, but more so the puns that Manu fans can throw at Arsenal fans.
He really is. Though he might suit Barca in a 3 man defence. He's a bit like Puyol in playstyle, except worse in about every way.
He's under contract for another year they don't need to sell him...
Uhmm it's only 10m and makes it so Arsenal doesn't have to look for a 3rd choice cb for another year. They could easily run his contract down it's not a big loss of money like RVP was.
You can change once the season starts. There's too much uncertainty over their lineup as of now.
Silva, Yaya, Augero (when fit) and Kompany only certainties atm I think.
