Strong in the air, good clean tackler, smart player but noticeably slow on the turn.

Suarez might make his legs fall off when we play them again!

I think Cahill suited them better. Mertesacker's a good player but I'm not sure Arsenal's system covers his weak points all too well.

Interesting. I can see that not having a good positional DM might be a problem but I think the athleticism around him would be a help. He'll need to be a good communicator though and I guess it is hard to know how easy it would be to transfer that no matter how good he might be in German.

What now for Cahill? Worth a '[Arry]cheeky bid[/Arry] in the last hours of the window?

Apparently they are in talks with Bolton as I type.

Milk turns quicker than Mertesacker. I cant wait to Suarez up against him at Anfield

Werder Bremen's general manager Klaus Allofs confirmed that the club has reached an agreement about the Mertesacker transfer with Arsenal.

"Sky Sources" Mertesacker passes medical and agrees terms with Arsenal.

Well he will help them with their aerial weakness.

Slow as **** on the ground, mind.

He is an excellent leader and that is what they need. One of the best Captains in the Bundesliga if not the best.
