He's been decent after a pretty shaky start.

He's better than holding, luiz, sokratis and mustafi.

I concur, I am far less worried about him than I was with those other CBs.

Vermalean or Ben White? Leave aside the transfer fee. Who’d you rather have?

True but they don’t cost 50 million (Mustafi was expensive but we were ripped off no doubt).

At 50 million he should be a lot better, his passing is excellent, his defending isn’t all that though, quite a few mistakes this season already, never seems to want to close down attackers!

If someone told me before we bought him he cost 50 million, I’d have laughed at them and said he’s worth no more than 20-25 million!

We could have done a lot better than him at that price.

Well Vermaelen was always injured so Ben White. Also Vermaelen is 36 now.

He can pass that’s about it, can’t defend very well that’s for sure, his career for us has been littered with mistakes.

He’s got a lot to learn, heading and tracking his man to start with.

It’s no wonder he can’t even get in the England squad.

I’m not, he’s not that good, certainly nowhere near 50 million worth.

He’s made quite a few mistakes in the last 4 games.

Arsenal fans love him, Ozim.
Happy to have him, much to your chagrin.

reminds me of Vermaelen. Not as good but much better passer, has a bit more technique but not nearly as good as he was defensively.

He plays football as if its a job.
