I didnt know Song was 24, I thought he was like 29 or something. I think he may improve under our system if he shows commitment.
And if accepts the bench. He was a starter at arsenal, that could be tricky. Especially after some gooners saying he's a bit problematic.

Where will Song fit in? I don't get it.... Why the hell would he want to come here if he knows we have so many midfielders?

he might become Yaya v2.0 and he is at the age most of our players are
but it will take a lot of time before he will gel (if that ever happens) with team and players, and also he has a TONS of learning, but man this guy is some physical beast (just like Masche is)

do you feel you got value for money in any players you signed from us?

As much as I hate the Cesc signing it was at worst market value, so I can't call it a "ripoff", just a political stunt.

Henry was a rental and therefore I can't say that was a good deal by any means, but it's hard to complain since he more than earned it for that one year.

Both were luxury signings still.

So yeah, it's not like every signing from Arsenal is the worst thing ever, but I just don't understand why they have an obsession with buying someone from Arsenal every summer when they never are cheap and never are needed.

they fall for wengers system. For me I have realised alot of arsenal players are not that good, its just that wenger has a system that hides alot of players flaws, not all, but alot of the flaws. So thats why alot of players look better at Arsenal and different when they are not there.

Cesc is a fantastic player though. The only player who I was really hurt by when he left. Vieira and henry reached their peak and was slowly going downhill when they left.

We probably have some deal with Arsenal to help finance their stadium repayments everyone summer or something. In seriousness though with the exception of Hleb in the past few years players we bought from Arsenal didn't fail. Henry was very good for us and Cesc was our second highest goalscorer, though not at his best in the second half of the season. 2/3 success rate is better then it was 10 years ago, by a long way. Song will succeed I think, he's young enough still.

:worthy: what a player

why was he sold ,again?

Busquets' awesomeness was radiating all over the place. So Yaya decided that he wants to play alongside his brother. His brother being named £££. And he's got 200,000 of them. Every week.
