    Marcos Rojo

    A transfer free isn't an indicator of a player's ability, it's the combination of: a) how badly the buying club needs him b) how little the selling club needs money c) how much the buying club is willing to pay That's how someone like Bale can go for 100 million, and how Rojo is worth that much.

    Arsenal

    Because he's not ready yet. He only turned 19 a few months ago, and is developing for a position where experience is crucial. Attacking midfield gets more freedom and more protection, but inexperienced fullbacks can lose you games. A tactically smart manager could notice a weakness in a shaky or...

    Arsenal

    He seems really settled in England and said he considers Arsenal his family now. I don't think he'll leave until he wins a trophy with the club. Plus he isn't even in the first team yet, and is still just a kid, so we're a few years too early to be worrying about that

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Obviously. It was the injury he picked up at the world cup. Even then they were saying he would be back mid september. Why is it suddenly a surprise, when it was common knowledge before?

    Alexis Sanchez

    Still needs time to get used to his team mates. Hopefully within a few weeks, we'll see how effective he is alongside Ozil and Walcott

    Then there's that time when he scored 5 goals in his first 11 games. and of course that pace

    Good luck Vermaelen! Thanks for not joining United

    This one uses the music from Gladiator. At least it's not bad techno, rap, or coldplay. The Gladiator theme could get you hyped about signing Almunia.

    Alex Song

    http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-negocia-salida-song-milan-3438473 Never underestimate the cheapness of Serie A clubs when the window is about to close. AC Milan's previous Arsenal signing was Phillipe Senderos, and Juventus loaned Bendtner when they utterly failed in that transfer...

    Carvalho will probably need to have his release clause activated for us to get him, and I don't know if City would willingly sell a good player to us. Still a decent chance of getting both, but this might all happen on deadline day

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    It wasn't just about his goals. He also has great presence in the air and would outjump almost anyone to clear the ball away, even against defenders that were much taller than him. We had Almunia as our keeper who would stay rooted to his spot for everything, so having a no-nonsense CB who...

    True, but I don't know if you guys even got the same Alex Song. It's like his mentality completely changed when he left England. I didn't see the fight or tenacity that he had, or those awesome lobbed passes.

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    You have a point. With fans, it's not really a matter of "what have you done for me", but "what have you done for me yesterday". One of the reasons I stopped posting on Arsenal forums was the frustrating responses I'd get from supporting Ramsey after his Nottingham Forest loan. "It's not about...

    Most fans have short memories. Go back to the first 2 years when we signed Vermaelen and they were practically worshiping him.

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    He was captain for a reason. His "failure" at Arsenal is pretty much down to bad luck, and kind of the reverse of what happened to RVP. With RVP, he got those annual injuries and everyone was screaming at Wenger to buy a new striker, but he didn't and eventually RVP became good. With...
