24 - Thomas Vermaelen

[Alen]

This guy should try the powerball.

 

[messi2140]

Everything is going according to plan:

No need to force him to play so soon, we should bring him in slowly. a bit of light training in 2015 then training with the team in 2017 and hopefully we will see verminator debut in 2020.

MD reports Vermaelen's recovery has stalled after having sore muscle. He had started running few days ago, but now forced to stop.


oops

You couldn't make it up

 

[Professor Chaos]

Just to remember what I've said few months ago.

This guy will never play for us. None at all. Not even a single match.

Besides, he will be sold immediately after summer elections. Or His contract could be terminated then.

 

[Hamzah]

Still not as bad as Woodgate. That guy played and had a negative effect, while Vermaelen has only zero effect.

It just sadly dawned on me Arsenal essentially got Sanchez for £15 million.

They bought him from us for £30 million but by selling Vermaelen to us for half of that means they got rid of someone - and his weekly wage - of no value to them in exchange for one of the world's best players who is still rather young.

What makes it worse is that we all saw it coming.

Move this fuck-up thread to the Other Players section.

Yep, ridiculous really. Year by year we get ripped off by Arsenal so that they can win their 4th place trophy... Sad. Even when he's fit he's still only the 4th best CB in our team.

I have him as our 5th.

Pique, Masch, Mathieu and Bartra are all better than him.

 

[Zinedinho]

I'm speechless.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Death, taxes and Vermaelen.

 

[Leo_Messi]

Only a largely moronic board would ever buy a player like Vermaelen. it serves them right.

I am hoping that the purchases of Vermaelen and Douglas will serve as a warning on what NOT to do for the upcoming board.

Be accurate with the values: We sold Sanchez for 42M euros and bought Vermaelen for 8M euros.
The rest i agree

Vermaelen was 10m euros now I am sure and rest on bonuses.

But to say Verms wages were of no value to them is wrong as they wanted to keep him.

 

[Zebulun]

Actually Bud @Jamdav1982, according to most media reports he was signed for 15 mil with 4 in addons. his Agent is incredible to think that he'd even push for addons?
Not too sure about arsenal wanting to keep him since they already had koncielny and mertesacker as sure starters and he was always injured.
Also his contract was set to expire in 2015 lol. that means we paid 15 million for a player who was not only a benched injured crock, he was <6 months away from becoming a free agent.
