Official: English club Arsenal confirms the transfer of Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen (28) to Barcelona for an undisclosed fee #fcblive

Wait, an overly dramatic keyboard warrior?! I've seen it all!

 

[Antimadridista1]

Bienvenue Thomas !

For all the things people are complaining about he does bring pace, ability in air and aggression. All things Barcelona CBs have lacked in recent years.

He could prove to be a great signing or poor nothing is certain but it is not an unquestionably stupid transfer as some people are making out.

Atleast come up with something original for a nickname. Why copy an Arsenal(Ajax?) creation? Barca fans should and can do better.

People are just complaining about 1 thing: his injury-record

Benchmaelen... Nah, he will start for us.

No they are complaining he is injury prone, error prone and so poor that he cant get into Arsenal team.

Of defenders with 100+ EPL games in the last 5 seasons, only 1 has been dribbled past fewer times than Vermaelen (20) [via @whoscored]
