well there you go then. its never the players fault according to their agents.
Well, it's hard to know exactly what goes on. I don't believe the agent much. I also find it hard to believe that Song has been a problem player for years. It does make sense though that he was never perhaps perfect in his professionalism but close enough to where he needed to be. This may have changed as he wanted improved terms and his reaction to not getting what he wanted was to be unprofessional, etc.
Or maybe he stepped on Wengers shoes and now the new arse kicking wenger was not best pleased and told him to shine that shit or fuck off!
I would like to know why the club should have to renegotiate his contract with when it's still got 3 years left to run.
2 years yes fair enough but not 3. All clubs need to have a certain amount of control over their players or they would forever be trying to renegotiate to get more money.
I do agree that Song should be paid at least on a par with chakma though.
Song has previous with his national side, probably not a huge leap to think he may have been a little bit of a **** with us.
I think he was just sold because Wenget wants to reshape the team and he viewed Song as expendable.
That's the thing though, isn't it?
People complain that we pay our young players too much, and their contracts are too long, well this is a prime example.
I bet he fuckin loved that contract when everyone thought he was shit.

Never liked the ****

Off to Other Football you go.
People complain that we pay our bench warmers too much which means we can't pay key players more. That's the silly part. Also, Song's replacement will probably cost us around £15m plus £60k - £75k in wages. That's if we're going for someone experienced. Whoever we get has to be a lot better than Song if we're going to pay a huge fee and wages. It makes no sense to bring in a lesser payer yet pay him more than what Song was asking for.
'Massively committed to Arsenal' so kept trying to re-negotiate. Had 3 yrs left, you've just admitted he was committed to getting more money
from @sianymacalarny on twitter. spot on
There is also the possibility that we sold him cos players are bought and sold in football all the time and not every transfer needs to inspected to the smallest detail
