But it's great that Wenger has brought in 3 players who won't use us as a stepping stone to a bigger club, 4 if you count Arteta.
That's the dressing room free of any bad influence too (not sure about arshavin yet lol).

And Darren dein has no more players in the dressing room thank fcuk

The next 4 pages will be whinging and whining that Arsene has lost the plot letting him go.
He didn't have a choice, Song wants to leave.
He's not this loyal backbone you all thought.
If Wenger brings in another great, if he doesn't he knows best.

Agreed if we don't sell now and he runs down his contract
MAYHEM

I can only hope its circa £20m for Alex Song and we simply have to get a replacement in that's defensively minded. Coquelin is too young to have that burden lumped on him.

Frankly this is frigging insane and I just cannot see the logic in it.

Nor me. We seem to give players away to Barcelona. No wonder they keep calling. We are their Aldi.

He had a 3 year contract. I'm sure he'd get over the interest Barcelona have in him.

This is as bad as Nasri and Fabregas leaving imo, you can say all you like about players wanting to leave but the fact of the matter is we've lost 2 world class players at the very start of the season both years running and its bollox. Rooney wanted to leave yet where did he end up after? The only entity with no backbone as far as I can see is the club itself and the people running it.

Like I said, some serious rabbits will need to be pulled from the hat in the next 13 days if my opinion on where the club is headed is going to change.

I think that's an important aspect of it as well. Should be banned from the club now that's Song is on his way.

Fact, all new signings should have a bit in their contract that bans that him even approaching them for work.

Do you think Wenger would let Song go for so little when he knows he had 3 years left on his contract.

By all reports Song has had a very bad attitude problem for some time now and had a falling out with Wenger in the past two weeks. This is Wenger being ruthless and I like it. We will sign midfield cover to replace song.

Not to mention he wouldn't get into our best midfield this season with the signing of Cazorla and or fitness of Diaby anyway.

FFS is all I can say.

I'm going to have to take a break for a few hours from here cos I am absolutely livid if that is true. Why don't we just ****ing wrap him up in nice paper and pay to have him couriered as a gift to them.

**** Barcelona and **** our spinless board. Why not make it ****ing official while they're over there and unveil us as the official Barcelona feeder club. Or change the name to Barcelona B or something.

This is ****ing ridiculous.

Chill out. I'm mega disappointed too. 15m euro for a 24 year old player of Song's class is shocking. Can't understand it. He was missed today but we have to move on as we can do nothing about it.
The annoying thing about it is that I don't see our Board replacing him either. His sale and RVP's mean that they have broken even for the season so they will be happy with that.

So any player who wants to win trophies is a mercenary now? I'm sorry but that's not really fair. I'm not trying to have a go here, but, Alex Song is going to Barcelona now, that's absolutely terrific for him. Barca play 60 games a season, he will get to play in a few different positions, with the best players in the world and he will almost certainly win some sort of silverware. Expecting him to stay at Arsenal is entirely unrealistic, although it sounds harsh.

The real feeling of sorrow I feel for Arsenal fans is the lazy punditry you will all have to face in the form of "Blah blah blah if Van Persie was still there blah blah blah" anytime you fail to score a goal. Expect the likes of Robbie Savage and all of the RTE panellists to be particularly infuriating.

As for today. It was always going to be tough, Sunderland are dogged under MON, already a bogey team, and with 3 or 4 new signings shoved in, it's gonna take time for them to settle. Although I had Arsenal in my accumulator, I had predicted one of the new boys to get a late goal in a 1-0 win, by all accounts Giroud almost did it.

or maybe the man who knows more about song & everyone who posts here combined about football doesn't actually think he's worth what you do

Song is a letdown

good ridance

I'm not a particular fan of Song and this is the way I see things:

Podolski/Gervinho Cazorla Gervinho/Walcott
Wilshere Arteta

I personally don't think Song would improve that.
