Alex Song

[Meitux]

in first time i didnt think arsenal would give one of their best performers and for its too cheap and its too easy but anyway

As said earlier I think Song will get to play as back up for Busquets (Mascherano should play exclusively in defense) and as replacement for Xaviesta ( it will be a choice between him and Thiago, perhaps Fabregas )

I have no doubt that he is a quality player, compared to Keita he s got better technique and much better vision, my only doubt is that im not sure he ll be satisfied with the poor playing time he ll get.

Perhaps Tito will try to play him as CB, that not unthinkable.

Song can't play at CB. It would be pointless even attempting it.

All the Keita hate

All the Keita hate

I don't see how stating that song probably is / has the potenial to be much better than Keita is hating on Keita. I liked Keita, but you cannot say he was an exceptional talent or player by any means.

I'd say he's underrated... people seem to think he's only good for working hard, being disciplined and adding steel to the midfield. That's a bit unfair

You don't have a place in Barcelona with only those qualities, no one is trying to say Keita was a grunt who couldn't separate his left foot from his right. But you cannot say Song doesn't outshine Keita technically.

From what I know of him it looks a stupid signing but then again we cannot decide anything until we've seen him play for us, Tito might have seen something that could improve us.

 

[Puyol the wall]

lol I read some articles and the guys writing it think he'll bench Busquets.

 

[Flavia]

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Tito experiment with a double-pivot of Busquets and Song @ some point this season.

I hope not. That would disrupt Barça midfield.

 

[PhilS]

Now the team is complete. Maybe even a bit overstocked, I'm sure at least one will leave by the end of the month.

 

[CougaR10]

not sure if it is complete...a back up for RB still needed..
