Thomas Vermaelen has had a baffling career.
It's an eternity ago but he was super highly rated by Arsenal fans during his first season with us. I remember really loving him and thinking we had gotten a bonadife world class centre back for years to come. Then next season he was out injured and he never became the same player after that. The Barca signing was indeed baffling and looking at his wiki now he's hardly played football since he left us. A total of 65 league apps in 8 years.
Exactly.
He was brilliant in that first season (also 8 goals!) apart from those positional fuckups against Barcelona, but yeah, he literally hasn't been relevant since 2010 when he got that first long injury.
Also the fact that he's somehow playing at 36 years old with this star-studded Belgium side despite everything is nuts.
