Video Evidence: Arsenal's potential defensive answer has been found

May 31 2009 39 Commented

It is Per Mertesacker.

Werder Bremen’s rock at the back has got it all; height, physique and experience.

Add to that his youthful promise. At just 24-years-old, the German international could be the last bastion of young defenders Wenger can find out there.

Check him out.

    he wont come cheap though will he so i doubt wenger will go for him!

  2. ThE kInG oF tHe WoRlD says:

    he’s way too slow and is vulnerable at times

  3. Phil says:

    SLOW NEWS DAY was it ? The epitome of silly season has befallen you. `tis pure mirth and foly that the Gooner brethren have to endure such a wretched 12 weeks bereft of footie? than to waylay my eyes with video footage such as this?

  4. sol says:

    lol phil, too bloody rite, i fuckin watched it all tho, so low we stoop!

  5. myles says:

    Would prefer Naldo!!!

  6. Renan says:

    I want Lescott :(

  7. Phil says:

    @ Sol In modern day terms I feel you pain bredrin’!! But seriously mate this is going to get worse. Hold on to your hats we shall be linked to every obscure, unheard of dick-splash whoever had the missfortune to play in another dodgy league? Answers on a postcard to WTF.COM subsection Boring summer lull bullshit. Me I`m going to eat a shotgun through lack of footie! Lets see how many younger gooners put their 2 cents worth of I want Messi? without realising the finer implications of finance in a fucked up economy.

  8. anto says:

    Why lescott? It was his and Yobos fault Drogba scored the header on him… also his fault for letting lampard score because he didnt act quick enough

  9. Danish Gooner says:

    I want Titfuck Bramble.

  10. Phil says:

    Danish Gooner I hope its a soapy titwank!! LOL

  11. manuel says:

    we are always linked with this guy every year. he doesn’t do it for me. he is tall, but not commanding enough. he is slow, lacks quality on the ball and most importantly is expensive.

    mertesacker is a carthorse.

  12. Phil says:

    You guys are probably lucky that you never had to witness Willie Young play for the Gunners in the 80’s

  13. USA Gunner says:

    That video was pointless! ha, it didn’t show me anything.

  14. Randy Osae says:

    Give me a fuckin break…I’m getting sick of you lately.

    Maybe research on the guy yourself then.

  15. Phil says:

    A rough translation in French Le sac du merde = a bag of shit! If somebody has the poor missfortune to be called Mertesacker then the deaf French boys at the Arsenal will think he’s a bigger bag of shite than first thought?

  16. Marko says:

    Fuck no. He’s so bloody slow and with the way we play football and defend high up the pitch he’d be exposed way too often. Sorry but you’re totally wrong on this one. My choice for our centre back signing would be one of Zapata, Raul Albiol or Lescott. And it’s very likely that all would be available this summer.

  17. anon says:

    Lescott was crap against Chelsea. Arsenal don’t need any more of that.

  18. Phil says:

    Randy chill dude I’m being lighthearted If I had a time machine then I would give you Liam Brady and Malcolm Macdonald AKA supermac without the dodgy knees!! Maybe throw in a younger David O’Leary too

  19. Randy Osae says:

    I was talking to that USA Gunner not you Phil :-)

  20. Phil says:

    Randy I’m old school as you can fathom. I salute you for the contribution and am proud that the next generation of Gooners is assured. Let the negative bullshit flow over you like water off a ducks bucks! Sir I salute you fellow Gooner.

  21. Randy Osae says:

    LOL…yeh…yeh…cheers mate!

  22. Phil says:

    Anyway I shall bid you all a goodnight as its getting late here in cyprus + 2 hours ahead GMT! I’m Daffy Ducked and had a skinfull tonight. And remember it’s better to have loved and lost than listen to a Boyzone CD or watch a spurs (small S) dvd of Hoddle’s greatest singalongs on Top of the Pops with that Geordie twat Waddle . If you don’t beleive me Google “Diamond lights” crap song by a Yid muppett.

  23. bnbn says:

    yes another senderos is just what we need !

  24. lion says:

    Sooner have Titus Brammle!

  25. pat says:

    was oleary any good

  26. 4Arsenal says:

    He is very good defender and as hard as a rock but he is as slow as it too. defenders like hengland,lescot and espicialy porto’s B.Alves would be better. isa

  27. USA Gunner says:

    relax Randy, quit taking everything so serious. It’s a good site, keep it up and relax.

  28. Naes says:

    Where the hell is the evidence. It looks like a modelling ad.

  29. arsenekidz says:

    Keep up the good work, Randy. There are many of us here who appreciate your site.

  30. Carlos says:

    He is not a bad player! but I hope Arsene goes for Hangeland from fulham.
    1. Hangeland
    2. Mexes from Roma
    3. Agger from liverpool

  31. anto says:

    Agger will not join he just signed a new contract with L pool, Mexes is a maybe if roma let him go and hagelend wants to go so its a 85% chance he joins

  32. tonyw says:

    That clip only shows him do ONE tackle and HOOF the ball up the field! RUBBISH!

  33. Rizal says:

    Rubbish Clip

  34. Randy Osae says:

    Cheers guys!

    USA – I was just a bit frustrated due to the temperature…I hate summer sometimes…LOL

    Cheers Kidz!

  35. janzZ says:

    im from germany and i thnk mertesacker would fit in our system.
    maybe he’s a bit too slow but good opening-play but i believe that wenger will convert song into a centre-back.

  36. JB says:

    Yo! Phil. Willie Youngs hair was legend. I’m sure he took his barber with him everywhere he went. Willie Youngs hair and shorts that torn into your arse.
    Those were the days.

  37. ss says:

    christian zapata.

  38. FvckHerMouth says:

    Lescott all the way…

  39. USA Gunner says:

    hahah no worries, I’m stressed due to finals..they suck dog balls.

    there was a funny post here about that video..

    Didn’t show much about soccer skillz, but he’s one hell of a model.
