24 - Thomas Vermaelen

[Empty]

I hope he can achieve a full recovery and stay injury-free afterwards.

And I really do hope he can make positive contributions to Barca thereafter.

 

[Neymessi]

he will be 29.5 when he recovers fully,which we do not know for sure.

So wenger took alexis from us and gave us verm.

Nope. Arsenal paid +30M in that deal.

The problem is not the money spent. Vermi was cheap.

The problem lies in barca needing a defender that can play and last till the end of the transfer ban.

As Flavia pointed it out, it's like the board bought players thinking the transfer ban will be reduced, but they have no garantee it will be the case. And since they have no garantee, they should have gone with secure deals. Instead, they went gambling with Vermi and Douglas.

"Gambling" implies a chance of success. Vermaelen and especially Douglas were more like throwing money away.

More like money laundering to fill their pockets

Money is not what I meant.We needed a quality CB the most and they needed a player like sanchez.They benefited from sanchez while with verm....

Barca sold sanchez and got suarez instead, you can't say it's a bad deal.

Sanchez earned more than being benched.

I think it's misleading to link Sanchez with Vermi. Other than being part of the same clubs that bought and sold a player, they dont play in the same position at all.

Very true. But I think it's quite possible that after Arsenal sealed the Sanchez deal, Wenger turned to Zubi with a sly smile and said "sooo, I hear you need a CB? About that... "

Do you imply Zubi fell for Wenger's charm?

Holy shit...

You are going way too logical.It was a joke considering the trade between arsenal and us.Arsenal needed sanchez badly.We gave them.We needed a defender badly.They gave verm. LOL.get it?

 

[dodi1982]

Which out-of-contract is available though? Maybe Puyol? arty1:

Alex from PSG was a free agent, would've been a decent option.

 

[frog-fcb]

Y did arsenal never send vermalen for this op before when he first started picking up the injuries

Arsenal's medical team is known to be a bunch of incompetent retards. Plus Wenger.
