Good Bye Song!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Apparently Song is on £55,000 a week, the same as Bendtner and Denilson. Given this is the case, I'm not surprised he wanted to renegotiate his contract and get a better deal. He's been an integral part of our team for 4 years now, and was extremely productive last season. We need to start treating our first team players better, and shifting out the deadwood to make sure their wages are commensurate to their worth.

I don't say this alot or maybe its a 1st but i agree with you joker( somebody Tm this now), but your right, this is where Wenger fails well oneof the places insteady of thinking of sqaud harmany he needs to realise better playes deserve better wages simple.

now we are struggling to get rid of the shit, good management that eh Wenger.

I can officially confirm to you that i will be moving to Spain to play for Barcelona. This has been a hard decision for me and my family...

All i can say now is that i am thankful to all the arsenal support i have received with my 6 years here. I would be nothing without you all!

Also i must thank Arsene Wenger for everything he has done for me. He noticed me and made me into who i am today, i wish him all the best.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hard decision.

Anyway,

I think wenger has finally twigged that this notion of Arsenal FC being the club to go to if your young as we'll give you a chance to play first team football has to end. This is why we have seen a lot of older players being purchased, it's lessens the likelihood that these young players will use the oppoertunities they have soley to up their profile. Song and RvP's case is a prime example, there is minimal loyalty in this game these days, Song wishing Wenger the best after noticing him and making him into the player he is must must feel like a slap in the face...Robin talking about the "little kid" inside him screaming for Man United after the support and patience Wenger has shown him must give him a migraine LOL

rsene Wenger decided to sell Alex Song to Barcelona after completely losing patience with the Arsenal midfielder.The Gunners boss offloaded Song in a £15million move, with a deal already lined up for Real Madrid starlet Nuri Sahin to bolster the midfield.
But the truth behind the Cameroon star’s departure is that the club decided to sell after he continually turned up late for training, was seen as being lazy, drove the coaching staff to distraction and lacked defensive discipline.
Training grounds for concern: Arsene Wenger has not been impressed with Alex Song's performances off the pitch

Song, whose contract was due to expire in 2015, also pushed for a new deal but the club became suspicious when they were told Barcelona were interested.
Song then told Arsenal he wanted to leave last week and the club made no attempt to stand in his way.
But the fact he wanted out forced Arsenal’s hand – and they decided to sell, even though they were under no pressure to move on a player who had the club’s leading assists record, with 11 last season.
Barcelona moved to set up the deal quickly and Arsenal are now looking to tie up Sahin on a one-year loan deal, even though he is a different style of player.
Song flew to Barcelona yesterday to undergo a medical and agree personal terms of around £70,000 a week.
Wenger even alluded to the fact that there was more to the Song deal than he wished to disclose.
The Arsenal boss had doubts midway through last season and that is why they scouted Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila.
And the last few weeks have only confirmed his decision to sell Song.
Wenger said: “There are different reasons, I don’t want to come out with that now, but it happened. Every case is individual and maybe one day I will explain everything.
“We are left with that decision and now we have to face it and deal with it in the correct way.
“Hopefully we can. Possibly we will bring in a player, if not we have plenty of midfielders.
“We make the players here. All that have left were made here or made a name here or came here very young.
“Fabregas, Clichy, Adebayor, Henry, Nasri, all of them. Song came at 17.He had a lot to do but he did it.
“I believe part of our club is to influence people’s lives in a positive way. You would prefer to influence it in a positive way for yourself but it does not always happen.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...celona-1269692

As was reported by some ITK's.

He wasn't sold to balance the books, it's because he was being a ****.

those wenger quotes at the bottom, they say a lot. i really cant wait for the book he hopefully will write, i think those qutoes showed how much those players hurt him in fucking off, and htere is more to song being a **** then this article

As with RVP, we wouldn't have sold him if Barca came up with a fee that didn't meet our valuation. It's a win win situation for Board and Wenger. The player is disrupted and wants to leave but we get a good fee to balance out the spending. Would we consider selling if Song was acting the idiot but Barca offered have o what they're paying now?
