24 - Thomas Vermaelen

[defyqa]

Too bad we can't have Rakitic at CB and in the midfield.

 

[FC B]

What he is till doing in Barcelona? He is way too injury prone to even be our mascot for the fucks sake!

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Move Rakitic to CB and it would also solve some of our midfield problems.

And CB problem!

 

[tacticvarium]

Should retire from football.
He is too fragile to be a professional athlete at this point.

 

[Raketa10]

He will probably finish his career in summer. Never in my entire life have I seen such an injury prone player.

Rafinha and Samper. At least Vermaelen had a career.

We need to get rid of him, Denis and Samper in January, and also Rafinha and Munir if possible. Time to trim the squad and give EV no excuses not to use players like Alena and Malcom more, you know the ones who deserve to be here and can actually contribute something.

 

[RIZALDINHO]

he is a good player but he gets injured all the time, we should sell him. i don't think any club would buy him or pay a lot of money for him because of his injuries record

Vermalean is the goat of injuries...

 

[tacticvarium]

I wonder who is more injury-prone between Owen Hargreaves and Vermaelen

Since 2015/2016:

Vermaelen has been injured for 363 days.
Samper has been injured for 416 days.
Rafinha has been injured for 751 days.

There is a difference. The biggest injury Rafinha had was caused by Nainggolan and on the other side Vermalen was probably never injured by someone else.

We won't get anything for Vermaelen in January especially with him being injured again now that transfer window will open. The only way to get "rid of him" is by terminating his contract but if we'll do that we'll have to pay out the rest of his contract. And if we're already paying him it's better to keep him until summer and see if he'll actually stay healthy and could play in some games. He's still a good player when fit.

Rafinha is out for the season and not going anywhere.

If Samper will ever be fit to play I would rescind his contract and let him find himself a club where he can get back on track but as long as he's injured we can't just release him.

We should've sold Munir last summer when he was coming off a good season at Alaves and his value was higher so maybe we could get around 8-10M for him but now is too late. He can start to negotiate with other clubs in two weeks. Betis apparently wants him if they'll sell Sanabria or Leon but we won't get more than a few millions for him if at all. If they want him on loan then I'd prefer to just keep him and give him minutes in Copa and some La Liga games to rest Suarez.

Denis is the most likely to leave.
