Vermaelen is a terrible defender

[Grebbo]

I knew he hadn't been great this season but last night was the first time I've really paid much attention to him and....well....he's fucking shite!!

He CONSTANTLY gets too close to his man and gets turned and then sticks out a leg or pulls a shirt and commits a foul. Time after time after time - and this is againts League Two opposition!!

I don't know what the answer is as Kos has been terrible this season as well. But one thing for certain is Vermaelen is no-where near good enough for a top team (yeah, yeah I know).

Absolutely and believe me hes never been good, dont listen to these "its just bad form" types.

In his first season here we conceded a record number of goals. People tried to put it all on the midfield but this guy is thick as fack.

Ajax eventually shunted him to left back just to get him out the way he was so poor. If you remember back the ajax fans were delighted with the deal.

hes always got bitched by decent forwards but what he did against no paced championship player taraabt when he got too tight and lunged in when there was no threat of him doing shyt thus giving him the pathway to turn and finish would have been the last straw for a ruthless manager, ours went and gave him the captaincy.

He is the most overrated defender in britain today. Welcome to reality.

[Marc Overmars]

Our David Luiz.

Time to drop him, take away the captaincy and bring in Kos.

[Grebbo]

But Kos has been terrble in every game he's played for us this season.

It's like beating cancer but getting aids.

[Kano]

and he's our captain!

[The Governor]

He's always been an average defender, his goals through the seasons have masked that. Koscielny and Mertesacker is our best CB pairing but it will probably never happen because this guy is our captain.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

and he's our captain!

This and this is what pissed me off about Wenger picks dumb captains. When he gave the Armband to Cesc i knew it come back to bite him on the butt. This TV5 is a liability to think How Kos and Merts were last season, now both are better and should be starters. Take the armband of him and give it to Mikel, he is the captain they all listen to anyway.

It was RVC he shackled not Sir Henry.

No I think it was Henry in the 0-0 draw at Highbury in 2005.
