Vermaelen out, Koscielny out and Nikki could be too – good news or dire straits??…..

News broke yesterday that Thomas Vermaelen won’t play another game for Arsenal this year, in fact he won’t play until well into 2011 which is dreadful news.

Oh, and Almunia! That’s according to AFC.com so if I’m wrong, blame them, […]
