I'd have preferred him to stay but since that was always unlikely I'm glad that he's gone abroad instead of to one of our potential rivals - and for a higher fee than originally expected according to reports

Over to you Arsene. Bring in the replacement.

Finally, rubbish defender now let's get some reliable cover in

The question is who do we get in that will accept being a covering CB?

Why get a CB who will accept being "cover"? Get in somebody who can challenge Mert and Kos ffs.

Otherwise we are looking at your Squillacis and Silvestres

Promising young player?

If they can challenge our current players, then that's obviously fine.

150 appearances
15 goals
£15m transfer

.....

I sense a pattern here.

Will Arsene replace him or rely on Chambers/Miquel to provide cover?

I dont understand barca

Hope Arsene already have his replacement lined up. We have only Kos as senior defender ready to play.

Great job Wenger, well done. Man U snubbed again. I never wanted TV to go to Man U. Happy.

you're the same person that thought Gervinho was good for us right?

Some fans are stupid, we need cover, that means a defender who will step-in when koscielny or mertesacker are missing, unlike vermaelen will do a top job, N'koulou is my target

No CB who we sign will think I am going to be straight into the first-team anyway

Nastasic would be perfect, he'll probably be off after they sign Mangala.

Man City will not sell to us.

posted on 9/8/14

Always thought him or Koscielny (God forbid) would be suited to Barca. Vermaelen certainly has the technical ability to play in the system and he's not such a bad defender. He'll be used as a squad player I think though Mascherano will be moved to DMF I figure.

Man City have to sell to us. We've given them many players over the years so it's only fair they return the favour.

Hummels?

Hummels would be a dream. Never going to happen though

posted on 10/8/14

I bet Wenger will try and sign Agger.on deadline day.

posted on 10/8/14

I reckon it will be agger too. Just sign hummells and put mert on the bench
