From.what we have saw so far mathieu can do a good job in the first team. Im hoping vermaelen can have as good an impact. And they are a hell of a step up from our other cb signings henrique chygrinski and caceres

We didn't need a starter cb though. Mathieu was a good signing and jury is still out on Vermaelen.

How is this gonna work in terms of logistics? He's gonna have to stay out for six months like Arda or will he be loaned back? And 6 CBs is too many.

Vermaelen seems Confident and feels great according to his interviews. Mathieu has been good for us but I am worried about his Ankle issues though, every time he plays left back it seems to affect it. But feels pretty great to have 5 CBs though, compared to the last several years.

This transfer doesn't make any sense.

If true then Bartra or Vermaelen should get ready to pack the bags for a January or Summer exit.

Unless if the club thinks Mathieu is going downhill from here and Vermaelen will never recover to be fit enough to play. The only CBs that are under 30 are Pique and Bartra.

This is exactly what I'm thinking too. I think we will see one or both of Mathieu and Vermaelen leave next summer. And Masche is not getting any younger, as much as I hate to say it.

Another possibility is that Adriano leaves and Mathieu will be our primary backup LB rather than CB.

I like Mathieu. He's a solid rotation option and he even paid out of his pocket to join us. I'd like him to stay. Don't rate Vermaelen at all, but he's barely played for us so have to see how he does and if he can remain fit.

Exactly how good is this guy? Anybody knows? How does he compare to his fellow North African, Benatia?

Wikipedia says this guy's preferred position is LW? Neymar's back-up? :burp:
