Vermaelen is steadily turning into the leader we've needed in the defense for a while. WE JUST NEED A GODDAMN GOALKEEPER.
I hope Arsenal make the most of Fabregas' talents this year, I'd love to see the skipper go out on a high note  |
I'd go so far as to say that Verms as a whole, is the best defender in the EPL currently. Not just saying that because hes a Gunner, but for the simple fact that he can shoot, head, and the dude is a effin brick wall, NOBODY beats the guy one on one, I watched every game last year and never seen him get turned once. That being said, he goes into challenges VERY hard, hes clanked heads quite a bit and it makes me nervous that he might go too hard one of these games and get a season ending knock
I'm hoping Koscielny can step up and be the bargain buy that AW seems to bring in year after year.
Imagine, with a fit Clichy, Verms, (hopefully outstanding Koscielny), and the Bakery? Best defensive line in the league. Now if we could get a strong world class keeper in the back and another solid defensive midfielder, Arsenal will be very difficult to stop.
