Good Bye Song!

[Ollie the Optimist]

i just hope we have invited barce over to talk under the impression they can get him cheaply, make them pay for flights etc then when they all sit down in a meeting, the arsenal guys just stand up, walk out and say fuck off

[AKBapologist]

would you mind telling us what those boxes are?

Homegrown
24 years old (not even in his prime)
Highly versitle (Can play CB, CM, CDM)
Strong
Can tackle and generally does the holding midfield role well
Creative, with 11 assists and a high number of key passes per game.

When you'd consider that we'd have to look at a homegrown player to replace Song, this whole thing becomes total nonesense.

[AKBapologist]

all reports say their officials flew in to speak to us yesterday. us as the selling club. not saying anything about price etc but if reports are to be believed about the officials travelling then we have surely given them a green light mate

All the reports are based on sport.es who says they spotted a barcalona vp in london - 2+2=5 and suddenly, after both the player and the manager both rubbish the story, we're already counting the penies and planning for life without a very important player who would be difficult to replace.

The other thing to consider is that Coq is a decent player (and I think ready to do a job), and a lad who has signed a new contract with the club.

With him, and perhaps Sahin coming in, I think it's enough to tempt us to flog Song.

This is also as much about getting players of the books as it it about balancing the side. If we are struggling to sell players, and keep having to fin suitors for loan deals for players like Bender and Denlison etc, then it makes sense to make aloan signing (sahin) ourselves, and get a permenant wage earner off the books.

Like I said, Wenger is playing a big game of swapsies, and so far, I think we're getting some stunning deals out of it.

In: Podolski / Cazorla / Giroud / Sahin + =35mil + loan wages

Out: RVP / Song / Vela / Denilson (so far) = 42mil - loan wages

No brainer for me considering RVP's age, Song's drug problem, Vela and Denislon being shit.

No sense in selling Song. Doesn't mean we won't do it.

homegrown - we have so many youngsters we can use them as the homegrown thing
age thing i cant argue with
jack of all trades master of none, he is very good im not doubting that but htink wenger could see it as time to get specialists in
strong yep
can tackle - the amount of fouls and bookings he gets suggests not
creative yep


however he is also prone to massive brain farts and puts the defence under pressue. good to keep him but also good to sell. really am not fussed if he stays or goes

[V-Pig]

Roy Keane was a shit tackler too. He gave away a lot of fouls and cards.

He was also a ****.

Tru dat. Wouldn't fancy dancing the ball around him though. He'd probably snap my leg and then years later boast about how he intended to do it in a poorly-written autobiography.
