Undergoing his medical now.

Pathetic price. But last year of contract. Good luck to him.

we only paid 2.6 mil for him so not bad business with 1 year left of his contract

Yep decent deal especially when you think he'd have a hard time competing with Johnson now. He played well on the whole and I thank him for his lovely goal scored right in front of me against WBA last November

I thought his best game though was when he put messi in his back pocket when we beat barça

yeah he had Messi in his back pocket that game
overall he did well for us.

£3.4M peanuts in this day n age but Johnson's gonna be class and it softens the blow a bit.

crap fee. not surprised, we always get crap fees. utd get more for their reserves than we get for our first team players

thanx for evrything Arbeloa

Barely worth it, should have kept him for another year and risked him going on a free if we're only getting £3.4 back for him. We still don't have any reliable back up for Johnson and if he picks up a long term injury we've actually weakened the team. Also he can cover LB and with Dossena looking like he's going and with Aurelio's dubious fitness record and Insua's lack of experience i think id have held on to him.

Yeah another baffling decision by the mad Spaniard, we are definately weaker in the right back department with only Johnson there, might of been a bit better if Carragher stopped being a baby and spitting his dummy out and provided cover but he wont. Think with the uncertainty of the left back position with Aurelio injury prone and Insua not tested enough not to mention still no replacement for big Sami we are defo squad bare regarding defence, this needs to be sorted within the next month if we are to go into the new season with confidence.
