Woo hoo! We signed a defender. I can start breathing a little easier. Especially as, as we know, The Great Man rarely buys a dud so he shud be gud. I like the fact that he was the Ajax Captain because that suggests he’s got balls which is what we need + of course Ajax are a footballing side so he’ll fit in well with the Arsenal way. I like the way he looks in the fotos on the Arsenal website. Cocky. Confident. Slick. I like it. I like it.
Sorry to be greedy but we need another defensive minded player now, Arsene. Then we can get rid of Bobblehead and Diaby, give Denilson a bit of a break. Allow Song to grow by using him more sparingly. Keep Kolo and Gallas – we need, and in Kolo’s case want them both.
I love it when a plan comes together…

good news to see weve started early n the transfer market i have not seen Vermaelen play myself tho there has been mixed reports i belive there is a lot of positives with this signing ! now we need shot of sylvest and sendros and keep the rest of defence well be doing well.

as for our midfield theres been talk of cana , yaya and melo
i cant see yaya leaving barca and if i had to choose between melo and cana imo i would def have cana as for players like theo, denlison ,diaby, rosisky benntder ect will have a lot to prove next year if ere gona win a thing

We won’t be getting pato as he wants to go to chelscum with ancelotti as his father figure like wenger/fabregas. Man citeh are now throwing us 12 mill for toure and as much as I love him we really need a good cb in jan with the other top 3 in a row when all of our african players are at the acn. That is another reason why we need a cm and striker but the striker could also be walcott as ro-sicky back with nasri, vela, eboue and arsharvin on the wings would be enough as they are all good enough to play there. Would still love flamster swapped for ade if we don’t get melo.

The debate is finally over. Vermy is 6ft tall, he is not short. Now if we can get our hands on a quality DM then we’ll be very strong for next season.

Great post SF,loved the melo video,IMO,if we really want to win something,anything,this is the answer,get this guy,loved how he tackles,observe how he turns defence to attack,distribution to the wing players,and striker,i hope i´m not overacting over melo,but i like what i´ve seen,and as he´s playing for brazil at the confed cup,we all have a chance to see him play,but for me,am in, he´s the man for the job.I´ll say all hands on deck,pull all the stunts and lets sign him. Also,if i had to choose between toure and gallas, then toure gets my vote,he is arsenal tru and true,understands how we play,cause frankly,he´s been there longer than gallas,and not to forget, the very last of the invincibles,gallas on the other hand is a former blue boy,is older than toure,criticizes his teammates,( like roy keane, and like roy keane,should be cut loose)and frankly he´s a good solid player,but a devisive factor in the team,and we don´t need such distractions next season.Get melo,that the deal,and we´ll be contenders next season.What´s the R:V:P situation,anyone?

great to see us active early in the transfer market fo a change….delighted to get vermaelen altho iv honestly seen little of him its refreshing to hear an incoming player reveal his delight and excitement at joining the club…..melo looks a prospect but fear his exploits in the conf cup wil inflate his value to more than le prof wud be willing to pay….fingers crossed tho as the boy can find a long range pass at his ease.
as for outgoings would like to see ade 20m
senderos 8m
eboue 6m
sylvestre pack of crisps
diaby 6m
dat would be some return for players who dnt fit the mould id even let gallas go for 7m any1 agree
