Why did they let Song go here we go:-
He was lazy and disruptive during training
He lacked discipline and was always wandering out of position, very occasionaly to good effect, but most times he left a great gapping hole in front of the back four - who were struggling enough last year - that better 'flair' players like Arteta were then left to cover
Never liked to play when the team we were playing were what he would consider 'ordinary', only showed interest during the big games
He was always passing to his imaginary friends, i.e. passing the ball into space where there was no Arsenal players
He had a an over inflated view of his worth, particularly when Barca were looking for a bench warmer, and became a pain in the ar$e around the club to move
African nations Cup every two years didn't help either
Will that little list do Des? Just to be clear when I said as a club that we can't keep losing our best players to other clubs, I was not referring to Alex Song
