Just as we're getting great competition for places you want to get rid of the only person who DM'ed for us to any standard last year? A step backwards tbh. You used to talk sense.

The only player who DMd for us last year was Arteta.

More tackles and interceptions than Arteta iirc. Don't get me wrong, a solid DM is a must get, but asking to sell a solid performer from last season is bonkers if you care about not taking yet another a step back.

Song is a very good all round midfielder, we could do a lot worse. It would be madness to sell him, it's all well and good talking about who we could replace him with, but then the same applies to every member of the team. Why stop at Song? Lets flog a few others as well, think of all the money we'd have to buy replacements.

The reason we win sod all is because there's no stability and it eventually rubs off on the players who start to think, 'well if he's fucking off then I might consider it as well'.

I'm not advocating selling Song at all, I'm just saying people need to stop thinking of him as a DM, which he certainly isn't.

He's a center back (Wenger), DM (Statistions) or the next Yaya Toure (Song) depending on who you ask tbh.

You believe a word of what Wenger says??

As for Song, he's good but we can do better. If Wenger has found a better replacement then why not sell Song?

We've got a fuck load of CM's now. If Wenger thinks he can buy better then we should sell him, if not we should keep him. Don't think it's any more complicated than that.

Song's a bit of a jack of all trades and a master of none. He's not good enough defensively to be a pure DM and he's not good enough offensively to be an attacking CM. He's a good all round player but good players don't win you the league - great players do.

Because Song is one of our better midfielders. If he can be replaced as a frontline player, which may not prove to be so simple, then sell the crappiest midfielder we have (Ramsey or Arshavin). The overall quality of the midfield will improve.

For instance, if we found a player better than Sczeczny then we should dump Fabianski because 'GK better than Sczeczny' + Sczeczny > 'GK better than Sczeczny' + Fabianski.

So unless you're suggesting Song is our worst first team midfielder, selling him makes no sense.
