Was crap when he first came although he was surrounded by crap.
He needed time to settle to the pace of the premier league especially as he lacked pace himself and it's a very fast league.
Now? Best centre half in the league.
Henry Winter's tweet tonight shows journalists are finally recognising his role and importance. Very good to see.

eng 0 ger B 1. A few boos at the end. What England would give for such a commanding centre-half as Per Mertesacker.

He was never crap. He was mostly steady, just not as commanding and effortless as he is now in a settled team and partnership. It doesn't help when Arsenal fans themselves contribute to false and cliche-ridden pre-set narratives about players. See also: Szczesny.
He was fucking shite.
Couldn't read the game. Was way off the pace. Was hesitant making decisions.
Now turned it around.
He was never shite.
There's a reason it was always between Kos and Verm for the 2nd CB slot.
