If there's any truth in the Arsenal interest I wouldn't mind a straight swap with Vermalen. I know he's had a dodgy Season but he has otherwise showed good promise.
Vermaelen has no positional sense whatsoever - you saw the difference in Vermaeln/Big Per and Big Per/Kolciensky (who however your spell his name). He'll end up with Barca - good attacking defenders who struggle to defend (bar Puyol of course)
Rafa wants him (& Ramires & Torres)
On the other hand one good season in how many here?
Fair point, but I felt he was the scapegoat for our defensive ills this season. Agger has made plenty of mistakes and Johnson always seems to get away with style over substance in terms of defending.
Given we've lost Carra, and have Coates who fills me with Pellgrino like fear, Wisdom who is untested and Kelly who is perma injured, then we have to look at keeping Skrtel for at least another year or we could be left with Kolo Toure as our first choice. Eeek!
Oh I don't particularly want to sell him mate.
Skrtel may have only had one really excellent season with us but the others were still good enough. He's clearly a worthwhile squad member but for one reason or another Rodgers doesn't seem to want him so the debate becomes a little pointless (whether that is right or wrong is another matter).
On the plus side, it would seem that other clubs seem to agree that he's a good player and we'll hopefully get a good fee for him.

How much do you think we'll get for him?
60 million for all 3 is fair, no?

I can't help to think it's sloppy journalism. He's bought them once, he'll probably buy them again, right?
Right.
Right.

Claims that some of the other names that feature on his wanted list include Ramires, Mascherano, Meireles and Kuyt

The whole defense was poor in the first half of the season, it was pissing goals everywhere, it took us ages to get the midfield half right and to settle at the back, Agger, Skrtel, Coates and Johnson were all responsible for a few gaffs each, he was just singled out and is probably the closest in style to Carragher, so was naturally going to be the one to make way. He was brilliant in his first season (in which we finished 2nd), had an indifferent second one, was back to his best the year after and then was made a scapegoat of last season. None of them have been particularly consistent with us and are far from a patch on Sami and Carragher, but they are hitting the ages now where they "could" put their experience to good use and start to show the form weathered pros should.
