Alex Song

[Galning]

Song was never as important to us as Yaya was.

Song was never as important to us as Yaya was.

Yaya's former importance to us gets seriously overstated on this board.


When I watch Song I start to imagine what could have been had we signed Javi Martinez.

40 million put us off, but he would have been brill at CB and DM.

If Song leaves it'll be Yaya all over again, he'll boss it in another team and we'll realise how badly we used him. Why don't we simply start playing him in his correct position, he is a very good squad player; we just bought him for the wrong reasons.

Which is his correct position? Cm? If so, there's Cesc, Iniesta and Xavi ahead of him. Also, song shouldn't be getting Roberto's minutes. Getting him was a bad decision. He should go.

All I said was that Song never was as important to us as Yaya, which is true.

4 players for 2 positions isn't good depth, especially considering how Xavi is old and Iniesta is nearing 30 as well, if even one of our players gets injured and we sell Song, we'll have problems.

4 for 2 is enough. Roberto is barely playing, and there has been injuries.

Yaya was a bench warmer at the end at the end, though. Keita I preferred.

Roberto is not good enough to replace Iniesta or Xavi.

I'd be much comfortable with a Busq,Song,Cesc midfield than a Busq,Roberto,Cesc midfield if injuries happen to that degree.

There's still a lot of La masia delusion on this board.

If song was that much better than roberto. Best to sell Song and get a better cm, if this was the case.

 

[KingMessi]

We should Gundogan but only if we can give him a starting role. Otherwise, Koke for backup?

IMO, Luiz Gustavo - intelligent, technical, good passing, good defending, could play CB in worst case (certainly much better than Song anyway) and he has a lot of experience + I like Brazilian players

 

[DonAK]

Di Marzio saying that Napoli is considering to make a bid for Alex.

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

Why is it the there's this huge problem in buying the "right" players? This has being going on for a long time now.

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.

Because Thiago can't play at CB.

He is.

Thiago had a salary of 2.5M euros at Barca and from what I understood at Bayern he isn't earning more than 3M.

Because Xavi feels like a youngster and can play every 3 days. Also Thiago cant play CB
