That's error-prones opinion, and he's entitled to it without people bashing him. 'Donkey' was a bit strong, and he's admitted that.

Pers's first season has not been without facepalm moments. At best, he's been quietly effective - at his worst, he's had some proper nightmares. I'm not convinced yet.

On topic, I don't think any CB's are on their way to Arsenal. We've got four internationals that Wenger likes, and decent backup after that if needed (Miguel, not Squid, who will leave shortly, and Song who can more than do a job). We're stocked.

The only way I could see a defensive signing coming in is if they're a utility player like Vertonghen, who can fill in at multiple positions.

Why? Is the poster "Vela" a bottling crossdresser? Is "The Jury" really on jury duty?

Fill me in brah - exciting times.

On topic, I think we could see Vertonghen come in, and that it would free up the squad to get rid of Squid. Djourou is a utility man now for CB/RB, as is Kos (albeit first choice CB when we have a fit RB), and I don't think we'll be seeing Song at CB since he's so important to the creativity in our midfield now (as ridiculous as that is.)

Although I am happy with our defensive options (first time in years), I think we are lacking the quality cover at DM that Vertonghen could provide. Vert in and we are sorted for defence and midfield imo. Then on to upgrading the attack.

I heard he's on his way to Bartha.

I'm lost?

Valencia ready to move on Arsenal target Adil Rami this summer

ARSENAL may wish to bid for long-term defensive transfer target Adil Rami this summer with his La Liga club Valencia open to offers for him.

Rami has been linked with a move to the Premier League ahead of next season, with Arsenal and also Manchester United tipped as potential suitors.

And it appears certain that the Frenchman will leave Valencia in the summer, with reports in Spain suggesting the club are happy to listen to offers of between €8m-€10m.

That would mean a figure of around £7.5m would be enough to secure the central defender, who previously played for Lille before switching to La Liga.

With United manager-to-be David Moyes likely to have his own transfer targets in mind, the Gunners boss Arsène Wenger could move for to secure the services of Rami.

Valencia's economic problems have forced them to reconsider Rami's sale, while Inter Milan and Zenit St Petersburg are also tracking the 27-year-old.

A spanish friend, who supports Valencia, claims that Rami to Arsenal is very possible (was right on the Mata story as well).

Would be a very good signing for around £7.5m!!!

Alot of Valencia not rate they said he is not good enough.

 

[rich 1990]

This guy ain't good enough, don't want him.

 

[Vela]

I agree he's not good enough.

 

[pikey2000]

Apologies its in Spanish but i was hoping someone could translate. According to BBC website it says they won't let him go for anything less than 7.75m which seems cheap for a player rated highly.

Us and Man City interested apparently - don't know how reliable Marca is though?

He was pretty good when he first joined Valencia, remember him being very strong in the air during his first season at the club, haven't watched much of Valencia since then and have heard that he's not been as impressive.

Marca is the Real mouthpiece. For that price, worth a punt I say, we need a CB.

He'd be a good 3rd choice - not really going push to be a starter though.

I think someone like Rami, can potentially push Per out of the team.

Really? Per has become so important to our defense and our team, it seems. Along with Arteta and Cazorla, one of our key players last season.

Rami could be a surprise though, who knows - right age, right physique, right experience, right price.

Cant we buy a young defender as our 4th choice?
Zouma, Ginter their are a few available

 

[thedon5]

He is different type of defender to Vermaelen and Koscielny, he is more like Per.

He could do well here, and for as little as €8-9 m he would represent good value. Vermaelen and him would be our alternate CB pairing.

 

[rich 1990]

I've said this before but every time I've seen this guy, he's been atrocious. He seems to have earned a rep of being a high class defender and i don't know why. He's a clown.

I would go along those sentiments as well. Would be a smart move, and keep squad harmony as they won't be dying for game time yet in a big club.
