Goodbye Sanga?

[Power n Glory]

We were always going to Balance the books whether song went or not, we always knew too top players would go, we knew RVP would and most would have said Theo too which would have been enough to balance the books.

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.

in terms of basically all the media running that story, song denying it and claiming it was because we wouldnt open talks suggests it more to favour my theory then balancing books one.


im not saying i have evidence, however i just mean that the story of song being unprofesional has been doing the rounds both on twitter as well as the media. his agent denying it adds fuel to the fire imo.

Ollie the only source of the story was that AFC bloke, all the media did was relay it. None of us have a clue what went on but it would be naive to think the club was innocent.

[Kano]

It's really comical. We made a profit in the window again and that's what I'm going on.

exactly. that is the only evidence we have.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

think its a case of both tbh

song acted like a c*nt then barca showed interest

if he was disruptive then it was the perfect opportunity to sell

if we wanted to balance our spending then it was the perfect opportunity to sell

either way he's a c*nt

Think you have something there tbh. We all know the club would balance the books maybe this gave them the opportunity they needed and it would not look bad on them.

Why should we have he had 3 years on his deal and had no need to discuss a new deal yet, this could have been sorted this year.

Now Theo on the other hand is a diffrent matter.

[Niall_Quinn]

Give the ****s in charge the slightest excuse or encouragement and they'll sell. If it hadn't been Song it would have been Walcott. They make profits every year by selling so no surprise this year was more of the same. Or they are absolutely desperate to spend on players but Wenger won't let them and instead prefers to see the team sold off for a profit that doesn't even benefit him but does make him look like a failure and a ****. Whichever reason you prefer.

So it makes sense to sell a player with three years left on his contract? We didn't value him as a player.

Nope it does not make sense to sell a player with 3 years on his deal for £15 Million, when we should have got at least £10 mill more. Or to the fact we could have sold him for the same next season.

We all know he wanted more money thats clear and mabe he started acting out and the board and manager saw it easy to sell and Balance the books at the same time.

[Power n Glory]

All too easy to start a rumour that becomes fact. the clubs trying to cover their own ass.

[Özim]

Who still believes Song was moved on because of an attitude problem?

The tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Santa Claus. Rumour has it the Sandman does as well, but some say that's one of Wenger's well known smokescreens.
