Arsenal have agreed to sell Alex Song to Barcelona for £17 million. The 24-year old Cameroonian international said farewell to everyone at Arsenal and cleared all his stuff out of his locker after this morning’s training session. Arsene Wenger ans Song had a talk after the training session and Wenger told Song that he would be allowed to leave.
According to Metro, Wenger has lost patience with Song after his agent offered the player to a few clubs around Europe. Song has previously stated that he was happy at Arsenal, but Barcelona have made no secret of the club’s interest and their players have been quoted in the Spanish papers encouraging Song to join them in the Nou camp.
MundoDeportivo have reported that the deal is done, but that Song will not be announced as a Barcelona player until Monday. Barcelona will have a full home crowd on Monday night for their annual Joan Gamper trophy against Sampdoria.
Arsenal fans will be wondering what is going on. After the sale of our captain Robin van Persie to hated English rivals Manchester United, we have sold one of our best players of last season to our strongest European rivals. It is hard to take, I just pray that Wenger has something up his sleeve. The loan deal for Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid should now be announced, but the money from Song and van Persie could really give the team a timely boost.
Dude stop this false rumor if ain’t got better things to paste just rest ur over worked brain

Dis is very disheartning.Arsenal is already a dead team.tnx to Wenger nd d board.dis is a bitter pill to swallow.gone r d days of gr8 players like Tony Adams,Martin Keown,Ray Parlour,David Seaman,Freddie Ljumberg,Dennis Bergkamp,Patrick Vieira,Robert Pires nd Thierry Henry.Wenger has destroyd what he built by himself all bcos of money.TOO BAD.
@Gunners addict, did Wenger force Song to leave? All those players that got sold off forced the hands of the club to sell them when they just could not resist the offers other clubs were giving them.
In these situations, the club had always two options: To hold the unhappy players against their wishes and continue to pay their wages for job not done and then lose them again for nothing at the end of their contracts or grant these players their wishes sooner and get some immediate cash in the process.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? F-cking, id-ot, st-pid Wenger haters!
If song want to go, yes he should arsenal stil ve a lot to replace him, let d fans always give wenger their surport and pray for injury free season
People who keep things like this gling are the ones who make these transfers change from shallow rumors to actual truths. It turns the fans against him and everything, I bet this transfer wouldn’t have happened if everyone like these rumors started by the AAA drop like they should. Stop doing transfer rumors and stick to news.
it is true…players that are leaving are being forced to because of Aliser U. and his fight against the board. players leavening (RVP, SONG) all are represented by David Dein as agent. what is happening is an attack by AU to turn the fans against the board. dont allow the media to fool you
