24 - Thomas Vermaelen

[iniesta_8]

Ok, now the important questions...
Which number will he get? 16?

the important question is: will he even play or just keep the bench warm and clean?

 

[Gohan]

Well I'm optimistic. I'm a naturally optimistic person, but there it is, I am. I think Vermaelen will do well. My expectations are not through the roof, but they also don't need to be. There is depth, there is talent and there is competition again at the CB spot. We can go back and forth with who we think should and should not have been bought, but here we stand, with 4 solid competitive CBs for the new season.

Barcelona have competed and won for years with questions at the CB position, having 4 solid options to choose from, with Masche for emergency I think should have everyone satisfied at the very least.

Indeed, at this point I would rather have Bartra, Vermaelen and Mathieu than one Benatia or Thiago Silva.

 

[Flavia]

Guess he'll get the #19, as Afellay is joining olympiacos.

Vermaelen should get the #23. Deulofeu should get the #19 or, if Song leaves, the #17. #16 should be left vacant for Samper next season.

Welcome.

No need to jinx him by giving him Oleguer's number.

I wholeheartedly agree. With all of it. Every single bit.

Shit, I forgot about that. Well then we can give him the #19, give Deulo the #17, and give Song the #23 if he ends up staying.

 

[Richard.H]

I'm personally not very optimistic about this signing. However, I'm optimistic about Mathieu, Bartra, and Pique. I think those 3 can really hold our backline steady next season.

As long as you're not pessimistic about the signing then it's all good. Let's wait and see what Vermaelen can do in a Barca shirt.

Lol i don't understand this obsession with shirt numbers. And the jinx...

Other than that, i wish him all the best!

I was joking mate. I don't care if he gets the shirt number 23 or -23

 

[ammarfcb]

good signing imo.
welcome. pass to iniesta. pass to suarez.

 

[KingMessi]

As long as Vermaelen doesn't get the #16, it's all good to me. We'll find out what number he'll get tomorrow.
