Thomas Vermaelen is in the Arsenal squad for tomorrow’s crunch game against the team led by a man who is not racist at all, after Arsene Wenger earlier raised doubts about his participation.
Speaking to Arsenal Player, the boss felt that after such a long time out injured the Chelsea game might be too much, too soon for the Belgian.
“Vermaelen might be available to be in the squad”, he said. “We’ll have to assess him. He is not injured. He came off with a calf problem on Tuedsay in the Carling Cup. It was cramp because he has not played for a long time and he only had one training session. As I say he is not injured but he might be a little bit short for a game of that intensity”.
However, at his press conference this morning, Arsene confirmed he would be part of the squad despite still having some concerns. “I feel he’s not completely physically ready, but he always wants to play”, he said.
Vermaelen’s presence could allow the manager to move Laurent Koscielny to right back in the absence of Bacary Sagna and Carl Jenkinson, although the youngster will have a late fitness test ahead of the game.
I might have to dust off my Verminater t-shirt. I don’t think I’ve actually worn it out yet.
That brings some solidity at the defence, good news
I heard that lightning never strikes twice because TV5 told it not to….
I’m actually quite excited by the back line of Santos (as long as he doesn’t bomb forward all the time) – Mertesacker – Verminator – Koscielny
No gay, but the thought of Vermaelen schooling Torres/Anelka/Sturridge/Kalou gives me wood.
….and with Chesney between the sticks.
We can win this game. We can certainly not loose it with these guys at the back.
Now Wenger says Arsenal can wn the league.At this point in time,the signs are unlikely. The defence could be put to the sword if they were to face MC now.Things can change if there is an injection of new faces and the gunners dont attack 100% of the time spurning chances. I would be happy if the gunners can have three chances and convert all three of them. The Chelsea game is big one. Arsenal must win to make a statement of intent. A loss will mean back to the drawing board.There is no reason why the gunners can’t win.They… Read more »
Jesus Wilfred, talk it down why don’t you?
Fuck’s sake.
When did Wenger say we were suddenly going to win the league? In the AGM he stated that 4th was the aim, which i think is a very good starting point. Get 4th, see where we are and then make a final push if 1st is within range. Also, how do you know that MC would take us apart? Everyone knows what they are about now so won’t be surprised by them. This is also the team that drew 2-2 with Fulham despite holding a 2-0 lead. The personnel wasn’t different for these 2 games. One was a game where… Read more »
