More than happy with the Vermaelen news. It was obvious he was going to go with the lack of playing time he was getting, but getting £15million + selling him to a club overseas is a great deal...as long as he's replaced

I went to the Armoury on release day to buy the shirts & walked out empty handed. The quality of the shirt looks bad, the designs are pretty poor and the fit is awful (& that's on the replica which is more of a normal fit than the player version.) The neck line on the away shirt is strange, ...

The replica shirts won't be skin tight, just the player spec ones.

+ some more pics:

Some pictures have been going around twitter within the last few hours.

Couldn't get to the F.A Cup final, so wouldn't mind 1, maybe 2 if possible, tickets for this glorified friendly

That picture of Cesc holding that fucking shitty blue shirt up really did rip my heart out, genuinely upsetting. But at the end of the day, our 30 years in footie manager didn't want him so that's that, he's free to go wherever he wants and I still love him as a player and don't hold anything again...

He could have not gone to Chelsea. That would have helped. Barca made it clear they didn't want him there, we didn't want him - what else is he suppose to do? Can't blame him for going there, Wenger is the twat in this scenario - not Cesc. The only way this can be excused is if Wenger has big plans...

Gutted that we've passed on the chance to sign him. Even putting sentiment to the side, he's one of the best midfielders in the world, he would improve any team and so far I've not seen anything that says Ozil is anywhere near as good, and if he's the reason we haven't signed Cesc then i want to see...

Always liked him as a player, but i'm glad we didn't keep him at the expense of paying him over £100k.
For a full back, especially at his age, that's way too much to pay in my opinion. I just hope we replace him adequately this summer.

I think the shirt is a decent idea, they could have made it look better though surely? As for the prints, I think they were/are(if they still have any left) £20.00 from Nike's phenomenal house, but I don't have a clue why people are prepared to pay over the odds for a print of an ugly looking shirt ...

I'd want him gone if i was a Man City fan, ridiculous diva behavior. Flog him to Barca & sign Pogba, problem solved.
His value will never be higher than it is right now anyway.

R.I.P Rocky. The fans and the club have always made sure he's remembered by everyone, even by those who aren't old enough to have seen him play.

Bad news, he hasn't been playing great but we need as many players as possible going in to this period of the season.
Hope we can finish top 3 and pick up the FA cup on the way
