I once saw him in Starbucks in Kensington and he dresses like a pimp for some reason
Get him signed up to a long term deal now, he's an integral part of the team these days.
haha i just caught that. weed is pretty strong around here these days.
He was great again on saturday. I believe his game has hit another level this season, much like Fletcher did a few years back for United. Song still makes the odd bad giveaway, but he's really improved his passing, his tackling, his decisions and his technical game.
I've always totally bummed him. Indispensable.
"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
I think he's been this good for a while now. I remember he had that one game against Newcastle where he was playing as CB and played a blinder with some of his forward play. People were raving about some of his passes and that's when he was playing as a centre back. I also remember hearing good things about his stint with Charlton and his AFCON run with Cameroon.
He's a talented player and having another good season for us.
Oh no doubt he has PnG. However there is usually a defining moment/season for professional athletes where they can say, finally ive made into the upper echelon of footballing talent. I think its safe to say, IMO at least that he has finally reached this level. No doubt hes one of the top holding midfielders in the game and his ability is not even limited to that role. As you mentioned he's capable of putting in a performance in the CB position, his natural holding role and going forward making key plays when we need them. Im glad we have him and would be gutted if he left.
