Looks like they will sign him. I bet it'll be for a very small fee, if not for free. Everton signed evans for 8m. We really should get at least the same for Song.
Was he really so bad that Lucho would rather call up Gumbau than have Song train and tour with the rest of the team? We could have surely brought his price up a bit if we let him have a good showing during preseason with us.
Or perhaps Gumbau overall is just a huge anomaly that can't really be explained.
Free transfer? WTF? He's no Balloteli. If they don't want to pay we should keep him, even if just to show buyers they can't fuck with us whenever they want. We need bodies at least until winter anyway, he might play CM better than Roberto.
