Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen Signs New Contract, Keeps Old Car – A Rubbish Nissan Figaro
By Alan Duffy
The Metro’s art department obviously spent a long time seamlessly superimposing Vermaelen’s head onto the photograph of the car
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has recently revealed that “half the dressing room” wanted to leave Arsenal in the summer. However, as Gooners across the land were left wondering as to just who else wanted out in pre-season, Belgian defemder Thomas Vermaelen gave manager and fans alike something to cheer about. The former Ajax man, who has endured a horrible, injury-strewn year with the Gunners, has signed a new deal with the club which sees him commit (in a footballer sense i.e. not at all) to Arsenal until 2015.
However, according to team-mate Robin van Persie, the Belgian centre-half should now also upgrade his car. Eschewing the massive, jewel-encrusted super sports cars and 4x4s that most Premier League footballers ponce around in, Vermaelen has a humble Nissan Figaro.
The Metro newspaper spotted a tweet from RVP which said: “Congrats to @T_Vermaelen05 ! So it’s time now to get rid of the Figaro and buy a deeeeeecent car! Haha,
But we at Pies say no! Keep your humdrum car, Thomas. It makes you look far less of an eejit that a limited edition bright orange Lamborghini or a tank-sized armour-plated 4×4.

Car looks nice, looks like he’s got a steam engine round the back anyway.
drogba said before he drives a mini around london so people wouldnt notice him
RVP is a knob, Vermaelan has a right to drive whatever he pleases.
As for the dressing room, I think Wenger forget to mention that half of the club still wants to leave. The only ones staying behind being the board and the youth team.
Eboue drove a ford focus when he was at Arsenal.
what a massively ridiculous comment above.
on topic, robert earnshaw drives a yellow hummer
drogba drives a mini cooper
Apparently Pies’ supremo Chris drives a massive fluorescent green Hummer
benoit assou ekotto loves his smart car
That’s a sweet ride. A classic!
The only upgrade I’d suggest to the lad would be a 1963 Mercury Monterey: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQNi4FLVXLO4HX4FZLtxVZh2qnVB8Hcazm7mzMbweET91wqq9hd
No point in owning a Lambo if you never go out for a track day (which most footballers don’t because they run the risk of injury)
Dude, love it. Nice work Vermy!
Thats one sick ass car I wouldn’t mind driving it…
Think Theo Walcott has a VW Golf.
