Rumoured Alex Song

[King11Didier 916]

The best choice fot Mikel replacement right now. HG player who is solid and well-known in English football. I'd be pleased with this signing. The first thing, which comes to my mind when I hear his name, are his assits to RvP volleys against Everton and pool. Cesc style

Barcelona are believed to be looking for a fee of around £5m for Song, who is being tracked by Chelsea and Man City. #CFC

£5m is nothing. Astute business.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Would take him with the added bonus he counts as HG, especially at £5m. Always fancied him to end up back at West Ham though. Makes more sense than Witsel with the HG side of things and price, but quality wise, i think id rather Witsel

barca are so kind when selling players

[Leif 6,006]

The fact that only Mata, Silva & Valencia made more assists than him during his last season at Arsenal is quite bonkers. That was a freak season. If he can play anything like he did then, he's worth double what he'll leave Barcelona for.

So I'm willing to bet that the potential signing of Alex Song nullifies any chance of us signing Witsel, who is probably £25m more than Song ..

.. I'm all in for this signing!

He is more Mikel 2.0 than 2013 Song these days. Slightly better than Mikel, but looks like lost alot of mobility. And I absolutely hate how careless in posession he is.

Song from 2013 was a beast though

Do it. HG and better (if only slightly) than Mikel. Used to have a bit of dynamism in him too.

Him, Schweinsteiger, and a top RW would be epic, because for me, Song-Bastian isn't THAT much of a downgrade on Matic-Cesc.

I think he's a significant upgrade to our Mikel. He's a different player for Nigeria.

Was a huge fan of his during his Arsenal days. Haven't seen him much for Barcelona, though. Definitely a better deal than what is being quoted for Witsel.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Here we go, cheaper alternative as I predicted. Totally against this transfer. Homegrown factor is no factor at all, we don't have problem with this.

Hopefully someone leaked this interest to quicken negotiations in other businesses. City have bigger problems in HG department so they can have him.

I'd only accept this transfer if that has to save money for other big signings.

Decent. The price and HG status is what makes this appealing. He won't make us stronger in Europe but will help our quota...

Au contraire. Provided he can get anywhere near his Arsenal form he could rest Matic in small games. Say we play Leicester the weekend before our Barcelona away game - it'd be easier to stomach than Mikel And that would make us stronger in Europe.

It won't make us better in Europe as our big game shape is usually 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with Cesc in the 10. In both instances we need another body in there to be a force in the midfield, Song's not that guy.
