Vermaele's height is incorrect.

{{editsemiprotected}} His height in the Personal Information bar is listed as 6 ft 1. That is incorrect as he is a very tall centreback. His correct height is 6 foot 4 (193 cm) as is listed on the Belgian football site. Can an established user please change it?

He is listed here on Voetbalzone as 1 meter 86, and here (cached) on Ajax site as 180cm.
For now, I'm tagging his height as 'under discussion' - hopefully someone will be able to source some definitive reliable sources so that this can be verified, and thus remove that tag and cite it. For now, I'm removing the editsemiprotected request.  Chzz  ►  19:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} According to Sky Sports (http://www.skysports.com/football/player/0,19754,11913_285782,00.html), a reliable news source, and definitely more established than voetbalzone, Vermaelen is not 6'1. There would not have been a mention of his height as a problematic feature of him, if he was as tall as listed here. As a note, unlike what the first user in this page argues, the official Belgian national football team also lists him as 180cm (about 5'11) - http://www.footbel.be/en/nationale_elftallen/rode_duivels/spelersa.html - and so do countless other websites and information sources.

Possible Arsenal Transfer

He has not officially signed for Arsenal yet, it is still just a rumor no matter how many newspapers state it. Take Arsenal off of his list of clubs.

I agree, I've removed Arsenal from the infobox. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 17:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-removed the arsenal transfer after constant readdition as neither clubs have confirmed the transfer Jaydub47 (talk) 12:37, 13 June 2009 (UT
