Part of me actually wants him to go to Barca- so when we end up struggling this season and staring at the huge Song shaped hole in our midfield, some idiots will realise we can't keep rebuilding every 9 months.
O yeah, he wouldn't just shit over Busquets, it would be a whopper.
Song would be a big loss in my opinion, his strength is immense. . .yes he has the odd brainfart, gets caught out of possession/position but he does so much and although there are a few candidates out there that we could buy, none of them know the PL and I worry now about how many players we bring in who dont know the neighbourhood so well.

Taken with a 'bag' of salt
We should keep a tab of how many players will openly tap up song. Tappy Uppers roll call: biscuits, iniesta already. Pique joined the club today. Have I missed anyone?
I must've missed Song having Barca DNA.
seriously wish uefa would start banning/fining/punching players for tapping up other players.
Pique has now??Originally Posted by I_Killed_Kenny
I can't believe Barca's tactic hasn't gone unrecognised by Uefa yet.
Oh wait...
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I'm not bothered about tappy uppers any more. Maybe we've just become numb to it but it doesn't really seem like a big deal any more. It is a bit twatish to have a proper, systematic strategy for players to unsettle a player in another team. But we're talking about 25+ year old men saying a few nice things about another 25 year old man. If that 'unsettles' them, that's a bit bent. I also think it's less of an issue than it used to be - through agents and with communication becoming more and more easier, Song would probably be well aware of his options without the Barca lot saying much.
Pretty much. "Tapping up" has always gone on in football, it's not difficult for an agent engineer a move for his player regardless of what the stance of the club is.
We've not accepted any bids for Van Persie, so by definition he doesn't have permission to speak with other clubs but he's obviously been made aware of whats on the table for him.
