Alex Song

[ShandyFFM]

still dont get it why we bought him... a real cb would have been more important...

or a player like dembele but song i really really slow imo... just because he was playing for arsenal and we seem to like player from arsenal doesnt mean hes good enough... hope he leaves at the end of the season

My boy Song could have played at least 20 minutes tonight

 

[Richard.H]

Why doesn't he play more? I really like him. He seriously has potential to be our long term Keita/Yaya hybrid.

 

[evilhita666]

He deserved more time to be fair... He did well in the 10 minutes he got...

 

[dostoevskij]

good effort ion those hm 10 minutes, he will start in the game after international break ( and before our trip to Paris)!

 

[barcanuck]

Song > Cesc right now without a doubt.

 

[evilhita666]

I really like how he defends the ball, he wins his position and then uses nice tricks to get the ball moving... There was one backheel he did near the right wing that sums up that ability...

(A) Celta
(H) Mallorca
(A) Zaragoza
(H) Levante
(A) Bilbao
(H) Betis
(A) Atletico
(H) Valladolid
(A) Espanyol
(H) Malaga

He should start in half of those games, if we want to keep most of our players fresh for the CL.

He's played so little that I still can't decide what sort of acquisition he is or could be...All I know is that he's useless at CB, so he was a poor buy in that regard to begin with

He i not CB so that is irrelevant he is a god box to box but he has not given a proper run out.

It is not irrelevant at all because he was ostensibly signed to play both roles as an alternative to the expensive Javi Martinez. Clearly he can not play the CB role, so the transfer could be described as a failure to a degree; however, he has impressed in the midfield.

He should play more often I say. Like him

 

[Deco 20]

he is a god box to box

Surely that's a bit of an overstatement

What is this BS? Hope you're trolling...

 

[Besiktas]

What is this BS? Hope you're trolling...

I agree with him. In terms of milfielder responsibilities he is far better than Cesc. He is really good at one touch passing and he can hold the ball on pressure better than Fabregas. He should be played as Keita with Busquets in some matches. He has the ability to play CM/CAM in our team.

 

[Barcaman]

Wasn't impressed with Song tonight but his partners in midfield and defenders behind him did even worse. Also, when you look at it, how did Busquets help us in preserving the result? All things considered and him being a new player, I'd give him a passing grade.
