  • Meant to make a Song comp when he left. but never got round to making it, because I was too busy. Seen him getting a lot of stick from Arsenal fans after his 'inauspicious' time at Barcelona and I think some of this is very unfair. I understand the criticisms of his clumsiness and his defensive ability (which was good in 08-09 and 09-10, but went awol after that), but some people are criticizing his passing, which I don't agree with, so I decided to make this comp to show what he was once capable of.

      He's not so good on defend, however he is defensive midfielder that can make creativity, if you want to play him you need another defend midfield like what Liverpool did. I saw him once live, what a pass, he has that Fabregas pass technique on him.

    We had Fabregas and Song in their primes, and a young hungry Wilshere in his peak as a midfield three, which was one of the best midfields in the country at that point. What let Arsenal down is not having a fully fit striker who could play and score consistently, and not having a reliable centre back pairing.

    In his last couple of seasons with us Song turned into a beast of a deep playmaker. His killer passing ability was off the charts. I remember being insanely impressed at the way he played. Fabregas who had left a season before probably recommended Song at Barca and they came for him, and then ruined him by playing him as a defender. Alex Song was a fantastic player.

    It's important to clarify his best qualities were the attacking ones, although his main position was DMF. It's amazing if you ask somebody to describe him, he would talk about endless runs etc. because of his appearance and descent. Not great dribble or first touch, but enough strengh and stamina and really excellent passing repertory.

    The departure of players like him, Flamini, Hleb - those Wenger groomed from nowhere in instead of buying ready made stars that would have won him trophies was most ungrateful and they were happy or never got anywhere; what they achieved was to destroy the team rhythm. Wenger refused to buy Xabi Alonso to allow Song and Denilson develop with more playing time

    Already loved the guy, but if we could have taken his defensive contribution from his first couple of seasons in the holding position and found the right balance with his involvement in attacks (could have just taken a one to one talk with Arsene after the 11/12 season) then we'd have had one of the best midfielders in the league. Such a unique player. His departure's never been properly explained though, apparently he was a disruption to the harmony of the squad. Just wish we knew what the coaching staff did.
