Vermaelen Surgery?

[hobson's choice]

but as long as we stay organised he'll fit in fine.

Organization at the back

Kos is very well suited to this strategy actually, as he has decent recovery skills and reads the game well, Merts lack of pace could be an issue but as long as we stay organised he'll fit in fine.

I don't get this at all. Are you saying Kos may have to account for Mertesacker's deficiencies? Kos can barely keep his own shit together, he's a skin of the teeth defender with even the simple stuff stretching him to his mediocre limit. If Mertesacker doesn't give us twice as much, pace or none, then we've just thrown £10mill down the drain again, as we did with Kos last year. Some of our defenders are so awful it can make players like Kos look good, but he isn't good by the standards of any other PL team and he wouldn't get in any other PL team. Remember, it was his unique reading of the game and his general inability to kick a ball that started our ongoing collapse.

Kos is the worst CB we have. If this is true about Vermaelen then we truly are fucked. Tempted to give Miquel a chance. Can't be any worse than Djourou, Toto or Kos.

My prediction of Sagna, Gervinho and Szczesny dying has been brought forward to next week.

Song's children to be our backline by the Spurs game.

Platini's curse is showing great stamina.

Come on Meee-Gwell .

Why, when we have two CBs better than Song, would we move him back there?

Which are the 2? First of, we dont know how Merte is going to fit in the English PL, TV is out for the season, Kos is promising but not ready for 1st team and Squid is not a football player. I think Song moving back frees up the squad and also adds a player at the back who we know for a fact is good!

[Master Splinter]

Song has been shit recently.

Surely moving him back to a less comfortable position would be asking for more trouble?

Just fuck it all and play 2-8-2.

Sol is a free agent though.........

Don't forget Arteta, Rosicky, Theo, RvP, Coquelin, Ramsey, YFB, Young, Mertesacker, Chesney, Sagna, Santos, Chamberlain, Arshavin, Fabianski, Gibbs, Diaby, Djourou, Koscielny, Frimpong, Gervinho, Fabianski and Gunnersaurus are injured and out for the rest of their careers, so that only leaves Squid, Chamakh, Song and Almunia. Song will have to play in the middle, at least until he is injured for the rest of his life.

Oh this is fucking pathetic.

[Daniele]

what with injuries, shambolic defeats, masterpieces of incompentence in the transfers, THIS CLUB HAS TURNED INTO A TOTAL AND UTTER JOKE.

Worse news:

the sun is the only one reporting that he'll be out for a month. Everywhere else is saying 2-3 months.

Why the fuck didnt we buy another CB?????
