The Italian giants Juventus are preparing for a Champions League campaign next season and it has been reported this morning that they are considering a bid for the Arsenal midfielder Alex Song, who has two years left on his contract at the Emirates.
According to the Sun, Juve also have their eye on Chelsea’s Michael Essien if Roman Abramovich goes through with his threat of clearing out the veterans in the Chelsea squad.
They quote a “Juve Source” as saying: “We need to back our plans for a strong European campaign by reinforcing the squad in some key positions — and Essien and Song are under review.”
It has been reported that Song is another one that is refusing to talk about a contract extension at Arsenal, and as the Gunners only have the youngsters Emmanuel Frimpong and Francis Coquelin as cover in the defensive midfield position it is unlikely that Wenger would sanction Song’s departure.
I dont think that selling Song would be a disaster. Frimpong and Coquelin are more than capable of filling in his boots. Also, I believe that selling Song might also free and generate funds for Arsenal to bid for M’villa or Sami Khedira, who can hold the mid-field with Arteta or Wilshere.
Everyone is focusing on RVP and forgetting abt song!!! As for me bihnd RVP there is song as he has made e assists wen the other team players cudnt get the break thru! I’m jus loving his chips damn selling song wuwud be a bad idea!!!! He sacrifices his defensive duties most tyms coz we usually lack that creativity which he creates as a CDM! Song the gunners engine
No way!!!!!! We have spent so much work in developing his talent for him to be SOLD
selling song would b suicidal.rbr his volley to robin in everton and liverpool.win-determining chips.coq and manu are below par to song.
Must we sell anytime a bidder came.is it going 2 b a crime if we have expierience world class players.people like kashim or hashim wil suport wenger 2day 4 sellnig 2 make money & critisize him 2moro 4 not keeping his key players,think b4 u coment,
Hashim get Serious dud we cant afford to lose Song he is everything we have right now,Wat we need is to get some one assist him so he can rest when needed.
he must stay, we need him alot. We only need reinforcement not selling & replacement
The best teams hang on to dear life their CDM. Look at how City looked without Y Toure.
Song is one of the best in Europe. He knows our team. This would be like Barca selling one of their home grown at peak age. Very crucial to do all we can to keep Song.
