I didn't watch the game but come on, it's bad "scouting" if they expect Song to be able to perform in that pivote role by himself. He's a very good player but his defensive awareness is questionable. He's got Poor positioning and he's always had that. Partner him with another defensive midfielder and he'll be brilliant.

Not only that but apparently Wenger convinced Zubi that Song can also play as CB. :lol:
I don't want us to buy players from Arsenal ever again. :(

He was a terrible, horrible signing by Tito and Zubi. For the role he plays, Thiago could've been dm when Busi needed rest, without song's high wages. If I could, I'd sell him now in the winter.

It's 5.5 or 5.7, but that doesn't make much difference :p
Barça doubled his arsenal salary of 2.9. With taxes, he costs around 12m to the club.

They really did fuck up if they expected him to be able to do that.

Ye well, either sell him or let him play to his full potential. You want a calm disciplined and tactical player? You won't find that in Song. They signed the wrong Arsenal player for that job. Arteta is more suited to that...and he's a Barcelona youth product. A transfer like that would never happen though.






This is what he's actually capable of doing if he's allowed to bomb forward. Great player.

Why would the more established club raise his salary? :facepalm: Let alone double it?! Our club is really run by a bunch of idiots. Incredible.

Seeing how great thiago is doing as a pivotal player at Bayern makes me question why we sold him and bought Song... and I doubt Thiago is getting paid anywhere near Songs salary.

The Song and van Persie combo was amazing during their last season at Arsenal. GOLAZOS galore.

Song is not a holding midfielder, he's better at pressing and getting around the pitch to support his teammates. He doesn't suit a disciplined role.

The Premier League suited him perfectly. I would love for United to sign him to partner Carrick. They would compliment each other really well.

At-least someone is being rational in the thread. This is the same thing that happened Yaya Toure. I am not inferring or insinuating anything. . . . But in Spain, "Black players" are only considered good enough to be DM's. And it hampers their creativity. You don't change a players position, especially one he has been playing since he was a kid and expect him to adapt over a couple of months? I "might" be a shitty player, but I have played in all midfield positions in my own time of unprofessional football and I remember how silly I looked when the coach decided to try playi me on the wings. . . . . Was horror I tell you.
