The Belgium international joined the Gunners from Dutch giants, Ajax Amsterdam in the summer and has slotted into the first team with ease. His defensive partnership with William Gallas has been one of the main reasons for Arsenal's strong showing this season but Vermaelen reckons its Wenger who makes the real difference. Speaking to the club's official website, Vermaelen said: "I don't mind if people call me The Verminator, because if they think I can help toughen the team up when needed, good. I think I can do that, "The main reason I like playing for Arsenal is the vision of the boss, the way he wants us to play.
"I believe we can win trophies playing this way. What is the vision? The vision is basically for a young team who all share the same philosophy to play good football, to grow and eventually win a big trophy. "I know there are many critics who say that playing a certain way then good things can't happen but maybe they should just think for a while and look at how a team like Barcelona has grown and how they play. Look around at their side. They don't have many strong players but they have been winning big trophies."
