Transfer Rumours 2013/14 - Real World Football - FM24/25 Update

wow...I honestly hope Van Gaal see's something in him that we have all missed because this doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence at all. I assume its because Miranda is too expensive or w/e?

If we sell Vermaelen to United we have even less of a spine than I thought.

I guess it makes sense if you view him as a similar type of player, if vastly inferior, to Hummels if that target was never likely then he may have been the next on the list.

As much as I don't mind seeing him leave, anything less than 10 million will be a joke.

We've not had a spine per se for some time now, more of an ability of sorts to make financially sound decisions.

At his best, how good was/is he?

One hell of a shot on his left, regular forays into the opposition half.

I never, ever rated him as a defender and thought when people were of the opinion he was good they were focusing on the fact that he was a decent footballer and ignoring his positional failings and defensive lapses.

Hahahahahahaha. Can't wait to see him be 30 yards up the pitch when Mesut glides through and tears everyone a new arsehole. Good luck United with that liability at the back.

Funny how the quality of players linked with United has decreased since the season ticket renewals ended. Sales must have been good. #cynical

Really hope he doesn't join. Injury prone and a liability. No thanks.

He's always been one of those tipped to be very good from when he was young and when he joined Arsenal I remember him actually being pretty good until he started getting injured all the time. Can certainly remember him scoring a few as well. I wouldnt be gutted or anything but he definitely wasn't someone I would have wanted or expected.

You shouldn't be getting him for his defensive ability, can't see why Van Gaal would have him over your current bunch.

He'll probably convert him to a more advanced role.

On this day 7 years ago we signed Overmars and Petit, today we're linked with fucking Tom Cleverley...

7 years ago?

I don't think that's correct.
