the fact that he's 23 and captain of Ajax is good enough for me tbh. Besides Song is getting there. Hopefully he will be improved over pre-season in a more defensive role.

I think if this is true this guy could add abit of steadyness to the side.

1127 BST: Arsenal have secured a 13m euro (£11.4m) deal for Ajax captain Thomas Vermaelen, according to reports in his native Belgium.

Has this actually been confirmed or just spec. Ajax Captain does sound nice, rather than our normal 14 years olds who will be the next Tony Adams.

Just need all our players to put their feet up in the summer and stay away from getting injured. Just waiting to hear the list of injured players come in, expecially Walcott. :rolleyes:

A fit squad would be the best signing we could get this summer.

Err Toure to City, thats not going to happen is it?

Unless its silly money I cant see us getting rid of him. There has been speculation about this ever since City got their money and Mark huges said he likes the player. News paper selling i think.
