This is a very short entry. Basically, Vertonghen is close to a deal with Spurs due to not getting any assurances of playing time at Arsenal. He will be joining a team that he will walk into and start at the position he wants to play at, CB. At Arsenal he would have been a LB or a DM, down in the pecking order to TV5, Kos, and Merts in the CB role. It was not so long ago when Vertonghen was quoted as saying he would love to be reunited with Vermaelen, so yet again, the media decided to make up their own version of events. I tire of these ridiculous headlines of, “Vertonghen Snubs Arsenal”. The headline should read, “Arsenal balk at Vertonghen Playtime Demands”.
The media and bloggers are too busy trying to get hits instead of reporting the truth. Get real please.
Come on you Gunners.
