Jan Vertonghen

[LoveCity]

He will want to play every game and he will not get that at City!!

Surely he's not guaranteed to start at Arsenal either? Koscielny and Vermaelen have had fantastic seasons.

I'd like to have another CB, but only as cover. If Vertonghen is ready to accept that role than okay, but like others have said Lescott was brilliant this year and I am loving his partnership with Vinnie

Vertonghen can play as a LB and a CDM though. So if he comes, that would cover quite a few slots. That way he might be getting some playing time after all, whether vinny and lescott play or not.

He's certainly quality on the ball & I could imagine him sitting in front of our 2 CB's & being a real asset there, but getting mugged if he played CB,(well at least if he played difficult games in the CB position). He may be fine in some home games v lesser teams but imo, it could take a while for him to become a reliable Premier League central defender , it's a different world than Dutch or international football & we shouldn't be risking our title challenge on untried players when we already have the best defence in the country.

better options out there, solid player but should be going for better.

Arsenal so far:

------------------------Gk-------------------
Sagna----Vertonghen----Vermaelan--Gibbs
Chamberlain----------Song--------Wilshere
Walcott----------------RvP----------Podolski

That's a 3rd place squad still. Sadly for them they sold the difference makers this year.

If they can get a lucky run with injuries and if the reports about them getting Dempsey are correct they could challenge for the title.
