I dont think Song is average, he's a pretty good player, but I'd say he's average in the Barcelona team, which isn't a bad thing to be when compared with the likes of Xavi,Busquets,Thiago,Fabregas etc. Bit surprised they signed him tbh

Average in the barcelona team? so therefore in top 20 players in the world? as the average quality of the barca team is miles higher than any other team

I'd have a horn that could go through tiles if we managed to pull that off.

Definitely, although no chance he's top 20 in the world. He's a good squad player for Barca to have incase Busquets needs a rest or something, and at 15m, it's not a huge price to pay for that.

what do you mean what's the sample?

You said he's average. Are we talking about average out of everyone in the world? All the men in the world? All the men who train 5 days a week? All the paid men? All the full-time pro men? All the European league me? All the Premier League players?

is he the that good defensively, no.

is he the that good creatively, no.

Out of all those samples and those two criteria he's above average.

is he as good as arteta, no

I'd agree.

Fucking hell, I won't be able to leave the house for a month :pac:

Seriously though whatever chance we have of getting Johnson we haven't got a cat in hells chance of Berbatov IMO. Imagine him living in the north-east :pac: He'd surely have far, far better offers.

They cant play em all. Some already have itchy feet.
Plus FPP means they will have to move someone on and remove wages

If they sign De Rossi I can see them playing him as a part of a back 3 like we seen Italy do in the Euros .

He won't sign unless he's told he'll be playing in midfield.


Also, they will have to pay big money for him, where as, 3 months ago they could have got him for free...

Seems its not as straight forward as all that

There are conflicting reports in Italy as to whether or not Daniele De Rossi and Roma are willing to accept Manchester City’s £35m offer.
Several newspapers suggested the midfielder was not eager to join Mario Balotelliat Eastlands and would reject the transfer worth €55m.

This morning La Gazzetta dello Sport claims De Rossi has already given the all-clear to the move, which would almost double his current €6m per season wages on a four-year contract.

It is reported that manager Roberto Mancini made a personal phone call to De Rossi in order to sell him on the switch to the Premier League.

On the other hand, Il Messaggero maintains the ‘Future Captain’ is not interested in Manchester and would prefer to join a club from London, Madrid or Paris if he really did have to leave his hometown.

Agent Sergio Berti was in Manchester this week, though it’s not clear if he was there to discuss De Rossi or his other client Aleksandar Kolarov.

Roma director Walter Sabatini was adamant the World Cup winner is “worth €100m,” but the club has already sold or loaned out 43 different players this summer.

The fans are expected to stage a protest this evening at the StadioOlimpico when Roma play their first home game of the season, a friendly against ArisSalonika.

Barca have a small squad and rotate quite often. He'll get plenty of game time as he offers cover for both DM and CB.

The quote says they sold or loaned out 43 players. Nothing about players coming in.

Never mind Southampton, Aleksander Buttner is off to ........ Manchester United.

Link via Google translate

Site is THE football related website in Holland

Schism

@ inforfun.

You know the Dutch league, what's Buttner like?

inforfun

He had a good 2nd half of the season last year.
Left winger turned into a left back so attacking is his strongest point.
Played 5 years in Vitesse's 1st team without any of the top teams in Holland being interested.

But if i was Evra i wouldnt be overly concerned about my position.

That Southampton wanted him at 1 point didnt surprise me but this does.

I would rate him as high as Ron Stam who has difficulties getting a start for Wigan.

Any truth in the Kaka rumour to Man U? Was just told about it before the City game.

Sahin, M'Vila and Llorente all been reported on twitter, Canal+ as Arsenal players and will be confirmed by the end of next week. Would be great if we can get at least two of them.

Arsenal definitely should be in for Llorente. I'm not sure Wenger would appreciate M'Vila's attitude.

Also as reported(talksport), Arsenal got 3 players from the Song Transfer to Barca. Which were Jonathan Dos Santos, Fontas and Rafinha Alcantara.

Hardly all permanetly!? 2 young defenders and a great midf prospect, if that's true, along with the M'Vila and Sahin rumours, then Arsenal did extremely well from selling Song.
