Likes its been Said it was the clubs decison to sell Song that does not mean he never wanted to leave once Barca came calling.
The desire to balance the books was greater than keeping a hold of one of our best players. That's the issue. We have no resolve in these sort of situations and this was handled badly. We didn't want to tie him down to a longer contract and we didn't value him as a player.
