Ironic that Barca bought the guy whose susceptibility to rushing upfield and leaving space they exploited successfully in 2010.

Song played really shitty against Barca too.

We're about to banter Barca off again aren't we? 😆

And they bought that other crock of rancid shit Hleb too. 😆

Wenger's been mugging them off in the market for years. Wish he'd do it more regularly on the pitch too though.

Biggus

Well thats what he does best, spotting talent driving a hard bargain and shifting deadwood.
What he doesn't do so well however is winning games especially against tough opponents.

That never happened.

Remember when we called Vidic poor man's Vermaelen?

Arsenal to Barcelona transfers are the most value destroying transactions in football.
Henry: robbed us of a captain, who didn't perform well for the first 12 months as wide attacker
Fabregas: robbed us of our best player, who is now a pariah in his hometown
Hleb and Song: useful Arsenal players whose careers immediately went to shit
Vermaelen: the wrong defender completely for Barca, and takes away our 3rd option.
UEFA needs to put an end to this

Overmars - injury wrecked his career
Petit- was totally meh for them

Tony Montana

Van Bronckhorst - improved his career

Yes it did?

Confirmed by the clubs. Bye.

A model professional, never said a word against the club when he was benched and he has stayed quiet this summer.

Thanks for the memories Tommy V, I sincerely hope that you succeed at Barca.

Nela

Well handled by the club to sell abroad and get more money than I thought was possible.

Checked out a Barca forum, and they're not happy with this deal. 🙂

ElGeniodeOviedo

Hopefully he does well there, he has the ability to be top class, if fit, in the right side. Barcelona's emphasis on possession will suit him as well

Jed

Thanks for the memories and good luck, except if we meet in the CL.

Meatwad

i hope he plays like normal when we see him in the champions league.

Alfonso

Good luck. Was amazing in 09/10. Saw him live once that season and I've never seen such a defender who was as composed, aggressive, assertive and comfortable on the ball as the Belgian. Real shame how much he declined but this is a good move for him.
