Not being funny but Mertersacker has never been that good, never rated the guy, moves like a barge, not that good in the air, excels at nothing, very overrated IMO.

I kinda agree, Campbell was the only real standout CB he's ever signed, the others he inherited, some have been not bad but they all pretty much had a mistake in them, Koscielny could be good and then he'd make a calamitous mistake leading to a goal.

Campbell was the last true top class CB IMO.
