I actually think Wimmer is a better defender but Verts is the superior football player as he has more pace, his technical skills are quite stunning for a CB (especially in the PL where most central defenders are so complete and utter shite ) and range of passing/shooting is a lot bigger

But we might be calmer at the back with Wimmer, even if i would chose to play Vertonghen over Wimmer any day. And it worries me a bit that Wimmer wasnt even first choice for Austria

Agree with that, but the fact that Toby and Kev had an extended run together, and did very well, softens the blow somewhat. I'd be more worried if they'd hardly played together.
 
Whilst I hope for speedy recovery, how great is it that we have such good depth in Wimmer that we are now as worried as we would be.

Wimmer wasn't even 3rd choice for Austria. Dragovic got sent off but they brought in somebody else for the next game.
 
What really sucks about this is that Verts didn't get back to his best after his last injury. If it'll be the same this time, this injury will not only affect the first few games of the season.
