I will stay at Arsenal forever. There will be no transfer for me. I love London. I’ve got a house there, I’m happy there and I don’t see any reason to ever leave the club. — Thomas Vermaelen
My son Shaqueel was born on the 16th, that’s my lucky number. At Arsenal I play with number 10, because my daughter was born on the tenth. I had to choose between nine, fourteen and sixteen. Klaas is a friend of mine and I knew he liked to wear the number 9. — Robin van Persie (on his shirt number)
