"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
He's our best defender IMO (although not without faults). Ideally Koscielny-Mertesacker will be our starting pair next season, but as Vermaelen will be captain I expect he'll start with Kos, although I have doubts about him.
That is true, but not funny in the slightest.
With Sagna in a coma alongside Willspear, maybe we could see a return of Koscielny at right-back for a few weeks, with Vermsacker/Mertmaelen in the centre. Would certainly cause less potential heart attacks on GW than GHELkinson's inclusion.
Coquelin at RB would do a job. Vermaelen will be in the starting line-up and rightly so IMO. I know it's fashionable to criticise him (for reasons that I haven't understood yet) but he is a fine defender and a leader. Koscielny is the better CB and shouldn't be moved from that position. Coquelin can do a job. I wouldn't mind Jenkinson though in all honesty. Get the gooners into the arsenal line-up.
