And to think we could have bought TS instead..

Did I miss something?

We couldn't have bought Silva instead of him... We could have had Javi Martinez but he was very expensive

I still think he's class, but the board bought him in mind that he can also play CB. Obviously the staff has never watched him play....

What I don't understand is that what is the position that he plays. He isn't a good CM, not a good CDM, not a decent enough AM, not a CB, what the hell is he??

He is an excellent CDM in a double pivot, where he can alternate attack and defence AND his style doesnt fit the current barca!

Well as far as i can remember the rumours were that Barca were interested in two players:TS and Martinez.Bilbao wanted a team that could meet the buyout clause thus making the later very expensive.Then there was TS who according to Tito we could have signed for 35mil (that's the ammount PSG paid).Barca choose to surprise everyone by signing Song (for 25mil or so) a player who was decent but not neeeded since we already had Busi and Masch.As said by someone else above probably cause someone in the scouting team thought he could play as a false defender.

Barça tried to sign Thiago Silva from Milan but he chose PSG. According to Thiago Silva himself it was because he promised his good friend Leonardo, but we all know PSG offered him way more than Barcelona ever could.

For God sakes don't give Zubi any ideas

Buying players from Arsenal is very hit and miss. This one, I think we're all agreed, falls on the miss pile

Is Song this years scapegoat? Wasn't it Cesc in parts of last season?

You can buy Vermaelen in the summer and carry on the tradition. Bloody Hleb, was brilliant with Cesc and Rosicky.
