Song is decent in attack only, defensively-wise he`s totally crap. Slow, crap first-touch and lame control which translates into him losing possesion in the "never to lose in" are of the pitch.


Quite the opposite, he had one of the best defensive records when he was at Arsenal but almost never scored.

The season you`re talking about he actually had a great playmaking run, assisting for sum beautiful goals.

I'm not just talking about that one season, he has been solid for us troughout his career at Arsenal, defensive and offensive. I understand how you consider him a flop, which he really is for Barca, he simply can't compete with barcas midfield and thats understandable.

Always said I'd take him back any day to Arsenal, seeing as Arteta is only getting older

Arteta is a imo the real flop, playing only 2-3 max 10m passes while he was brought to open up defences with through/long balls.
No one was expecting Song to enter first team anyways. He was bought to warm the bench .

Again, Arteta is anything but a flop, if you look at the records where he plays we almost always win, he has been somewhat sluggish recently tho, but he definatly was a steal.

I wouldn't mind Song if he was bought instead of Fellaini, they're both average in midfield - not creative enough nor amazing defensively.

Toni Kroos will not sign for Manchester United this summer and will stay with Bayern Munich "until at least 2015", according to his agent.
The Germany midfielder is contracted to Bayern until June 2015, but talks over a new deal have reportedly stalled over his pay demands.
"There's no official contract offer and there's no need for United to submit one," the 24-year-old's agent Volker Struth told German newspaper Bild.
"Toni's at Bayern until at least 2015."
Kroos, one of a number of key transfer targets for United manager David Moyes, would be able to move to Old Trafford as a free agent when his contract expires next summer, but the German champions are eager for him to stay in Munich.
"It depends on Toni, but we want to continue with him here," said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.
Bayern strengthened their squad by signing defensive midfielder Sebastian Rode from Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year deal.
While Kroos can play in that position, Guardiola has regularly used him as an attacking midfielder this season.

if we win our final 5 remaining games, and arsenal and everton fail to win 2 of their last 4 we will go into 4th spot.

optimism?

we have hull, southampton, sunderland, norwich and everton. it could happen...even though arsenal has it pretty easy too

The players should just think about the games they play, we need a win against Everton as confidence will rise if we do.
