Firstly whilst Vermaelen had a bit of mare last season I still rate him. Is Williams the answer? He would be a good addition but how about having both?
As for Benteke please no & certainly not at £20 or £25m, yes he had A good season but I'm not convinced.
Funny thing is that he is the sort of player Wenger signs first time up to take a gamble on.
I hope this is just speculation....

finisher and must not allow Verm to go unless we have at least 2 good replacements

very hard for Vermaelen though as captain to be out of the team but there is a very good example here in Germany, where Sebastian Kehl is captain of Dortmund but has lost his place to the quite wonderful Sven Bender and Ilkay Gundogan. He is a bit older though
Not really seen a lot of Benteke but the whole good for one season thing bothers me as well

where as the Villa chap has had a good season in England, is also a lot younger and I suspect will end up a far better player than Giroud

Then again they won't get what they are after anyhow.

in far more difficult circumstances imko.
Giroud has scored in 8 league games only, and only 1 league goal away from home... not good enough

less of a risk than a player who hasn't played in the PL I would guess

Think it was John Motson. As Charlie lined up to take it
"HERE COMES THE BENDER"
Which was harsh

easy is it as opposed to the open games that Villa have played in. Not really true is it. Easy just to quote stats but try taking a look at his all round game and the amount of goals the players around him have got before making a judgement

is far easier, have the ball far more than Villa, and have better players than Villa so he wont be marked as tightly as Benteke makes his job a lot easier

Of course, only an idiot like Abramovich would stump up 50m for the guy.
Luis Anaconda
05-24-2013, 08:59 AM
that has an effect. Also do you not think he performance as a sole centre forward is a major reason for us making so many chances?

secondly - not exactly justified 50 million fee has he

he was at Liverpool. From a footballing point of view, it is disappointing that he hasn't quite fulfilled his talent. Still remarkable effective at times though
