Far too often,
Vermaelen gets caught out of position.
Not exact matches
You sold
vermaelen why not
get sokratis sealed a long time ago to give dortmund time to replace him.
Getting rid of Vermaelen, Sagna, Jenkison (on loan), Miquel and Djourou, then getting only Debuchy and Chambers is mismanagement I
Getting rid of
Vermaelen, Sagna, Jenkison (on loan), Miquel and Djourou, then
getting only Debuchy and Chambers is mismanagement I
getting only Debuchy and Chambers is mismanagement I reckon.
We are running out of possible forwards and its making me angry My solution now is make big offers for Lewandowski, Reus, Greizmann and Aubemeyang If that doesn't work then
get Lacaette, Icardi or Bacca AND Draxler or Mahrez Then
get at least an experienced, decent CB or Top CB: ie Hummels, Howedes, Koulibali, Murillo, Mustafi, Godin, Stones, Subotic,
Vermaelen, Williams, Reid, Van Dijk, Dann We can still come out of this summer good
We needed to sign a top striker (we
got a decent one with potential), a quality defender (should have kept
Vermaelen if we have only 6) and top CDM
Eg if we told manolas or Sokratis to come before we
got rid of
vermaelen we could have included them in any potential deal eg
vermaelen going Roma or Dortmund as part of the deal.
A rotten point really, in the end of the article: we CA N'T accept is that you sold
Vermaelen and sent Jenkinson off on loan without
getting in any replacements LAST SUMMER
Everyone with even a vague interest in football looked at the six Arsenal defenders had at the start of the year, following the surprising decision to
get rid of Thomas
Vermaelen and Carl Jenkinson, and said «they haven't
got enough defenders», and so it has proved.
Everyone was annoyed that Wenger sold TV5 to Barcelona last summer without
getting a replacement, but Le Prof's decision was vindicated by the fact that
Vermaelen didn't actually
get a game for the European Champions until the final month of the season.
you are probably as close to what wenger might do in the last days of the window he will wait to
get c / l qualification in place to reel in one big name and then
get a squad filler in d / m but will also use the
vermaelen money to
get another c / h so 2 more additions and 1 more replacement this is most likely to happen, but as always you can never know with wenger COYG
«but Le Prof's decision was vindicated by the fact that
Vermaelen didn't actually
get a game for the European Champions until the final month of the season.»
Like replacing
Vermaelen, signing a no nonsense DM, A skillfull LW and ST.. We have to remember Top four is not
getting any easier.
Marcos rojo would be a good signing as we would
get a like for like replacement for
vermaelen and he is more stronger and taller than TV.
Defensive midfield Arteta, flamini, coqulan To
get a top def mid we would have needed to
get rid of flamini n coqulan who would be ideal for the emergency left back role
vermaelen played.
We sold Viera and never
got a replacement We sold RVP and didn't
get a replacement We sold Sagna and
got Debuchy We sold
Vermaelen and
got Gabs
We lost 2 heavy weights in Sagna, and

get the replacements we were promised.
A long summer transfer season where we loose a perfectly good defender in Sagna, sell another perfectly good defender in
Vermaelen, loan a decent back - up in Jenkinson, and
get Debuchy to replace one of them and a promising 19 year old to replace the other two.
The old man will not listen to anyone, he does not care really about the feelings of his players,
Vermaelen left Arsenal without a regret.The guy consider himself a winner because he
gets each yeay the Cl place, so mediocre minded.
Letting go of
Vermaelen and not
getting another defender (in addition to Debuchy and Chambers who replaced Sagna and Jenkison) was not a good decision.
Other articles would only mention the fact that Wenger sold
Vermaelen and didn't
got a replacement.
Honestly, at times Wenger has surprised us (ie mid summer: Sanchez, Chambers, Ospina, Debuchy) and most of the time disappointed us (end of summer: not
getting a defender to replace
Vermaelen, loaning off Jenkison and leaving us with depleted defense,
getting Welbeck instead of WC striker while he was in Rome on transfer deadline day,
getting players like Kim Kallstrom, Squillaci, Silvestre, etc..)
got a funny feeling the falcao deal might go belly up yet at this late stage and we wont
get welbeck as untied will need him as cover they will
get us back for
vermaelen yet the sods
Vermaelen (did nt plat also F & % $ ked off) Fabregas (great player shoot leader) RVP (don't
get me started.
Wenger promised to replace
Vermaelen but did not because he bought Wellbeck for 16 mill when Giroud
got injured (don't believe the cr # p about the board buying Wellbeck either) 10 mill on Cech, 12 mill on Debuchy and 16 mill on Chambers both failures and 35 mill on Sanchez meant Wenger risked having only 2 specialist CB's.
Vermaelen, RVP, Fab, Henry all left rather quickly after
getting the role.
In retrospective letting
Vermaelen go was a good move for 15m pound with his injuries but
getting only Chambers and trusting him to play at a high level every game filling multiple positions wasn't a wise one.
Even
Vermaelen is great until he
got a bad injury and lost form.
It would have helped if either
Vermaelen had stayed or we
got another defender as promised.
Also, when we lose a top player we rarely
get the equivalent or better replacement.ie Vieira, Sagna, RVP,
Vermaelen, we didn't immediately replace them with an equivalent or better player.
We sold
Vermaelen and didn't
get a replacement.
And to say Chambers doesn't have the pace to do this is wrong imo, he's
got plenty of pace, just needs experience in the position, to learn when to be aggressive and when to stand off a bit so he doesn't
get caught out as
Vermaelen often did and as Mertesacker does from time to time.
Everyone was screaming replace
Vermaelen, 6 defenders for 4 positions are not enough,
get a top DM.
hopefully we will
get this paulista before the wknd if any of the reports are true, but we will hold the bets until it happens he sounds like a good player as long as he is as good as
vermaelen (at his best) or slightly better then that's what we need.
The reason we have had to.let
vermaelen go is he can't
get past per and kos.
When will people give wenger credit for selling
vermaelen for the money we
got.
Arsenal fans were sad to see
Vermaelen leave, but a potential loan deal in January would make sense for both parties;
Vermaelen would be able to
get much - needed game time under his belt when he returns from injury, while Arsenal would greatly benefit from having a good quality defender who can lead from example and knows what it takes to play in the Premier League.
Over the last few years there has been much talk of the curse of being Arsenal's captain, and it certainly is a fact that once appointed they play brilliantly and are sold the following year (Like Fab4 and RVP), or
get injured (like Thomas
Vermaelen and Mikel Arteta) and don't hardly ever appear on the pitch.
Not
getting more defenders after selling
Vermaelen, Sagna and loaning Jenkinson (Chambers and Debuchy are great but still light in defense) 3.
They would have looked at
Vermaelen, refused a transfer, never
getting a game, and said, «I'm not going to Arsenal».
01 Szczesny 03 Sagna 17 Monreal 20 Flamini (Gnabry — 72 ′) 04 Mertesacker 06 Koscielny (
Vermaelen — 42 ′) 14 Walcott 16 Ramsey 12 Giroud (Bendtner — 76») 11 Ozil 10 Wilshere You can say that this is Arsenal's best team and we still
got mauled so I think its too easy to say if this was fit and so fort,, those losses had a whole lot to do with preparation and tactics An you know who is responsible for this aspect of the team.
So, I am looking forward to
getting to know Podolski and Giroud in particular, sadly turning a page one RVP and Song, continuing my relationship with Wojciech and
Vermaelen, welcoming back Wilshere and Rosicky from injury, and stillllll, yes still, wishing Nicky B would come on home (maybe now we have room for him on the right wing, eh eh?)
And finally
Vermaelen came on for Oxlade - Chamberlain who was indication to the bench a bit before that his muscles were
getting tight.
Messi, Suárez and Paulinho
got the goals in a very effective team performance in which Dembélé,
Vermaelen and the full backs Roberto and Alba all shone.
It will be tough for Napoli to
get Arsenal's central defender Thomas
Vermaelen.
Yesterday, Rasp and London
got all excited at the thought of the new centre - back pairing being Djourou and Koscielny and
Vermaelen being pushed up to partner Song in front of the back four as our new long awaited DM.
Haha,
Vermaelen needs to
get a mean streak, I remember him not shouting at Almunia for his blunders vs Barcelona twice, who cares if Almunia is on edge, we don't need a coward in goal!
I am not sure how arsene is going to teach them.When the going
gets tough Henry and the XI consistently pushed opponents with long range shots and scoring on free kick which our present team lacks except from
Vermaelen and sometimes Arshavin.
The game turned on its head when M'bia
got straight red for his idiotic lunge on the Arsenal captain
Vermaelen in the 80th minute.
The gaffer
got a chance to comment about his former captain Thomas
Vermaelen who is currently playing for La Liga giants Barcelona after leaving Arsenal last summer.
«An experienced player like
Vermaelen should not be
getting two cards like he did especially when you look at the first one he
got, but physically we saw that we are in good shape and the mistakes we made were only technical so I am satisfied.»
