Fonseca wrote:Why anyone would be ok with selling our only midfielder who never gets injured for a technically inept decent DM at best is bewildering. Capoue's got potential to be good, but I'll go fucking nuts if he's Songs replacement,

Even M'Vila is underwhelming if we get him instead of Sahin. Sahin's miles better than both put together

Gutted mf

Local Spanish press saying Song to Barca is done. £14m fee

Insanity. His attitude must really have been a massive problem to Wenger to let him go that cheap.

The the fuck is happening. We tried so hard not to repeat last year only to repeat last year. Replacements need to be brought in fast.

Faster than Usmanov releasing another open letter.

Midfield 2 of Areteta and Diaby then for Sunderland I imagine.

Is Sahin to Liverpool confirmed?

People saying his attitude around training and during last season was terrible. Remember reading someone saying that one game last season he was laughing, joking and generally not giving a shit at half time even though the team were 1-0 down.

Dunno if that last bit is true though.

Rather we had a team of players that had the right mindset and attitude towards the club eg Arteta. And got rid of the ones that don't.

Not yet. Looking likely though.

I feel the same as last summer, man. I couldn't actually give a fuck any more. I hope we do well but I'm just excited for football to be back, not Arsenal. I'm more looking forward to watching La Liga at the weekend.

Our club makes me feel sick.

If that's true then he can go, but with 2 days until the start of the new season, we're going to need to haul ass to get the right players in.

Spanish papers never lie..it must be true.

I agree

I agree

Looks like Robin. On the left.

I'm looking forward to seeing us play. Team looks good without RvP and Song in it anyways:


When everyone is back and fit. Until then it'll be Yennaris for Sagna IMO and Diaby/Coquelin for Wilshere.

That's if we don't get new faces in. Not bad.

I thought that as well, and it looks like Rooney on the right. Surely they wouldn't let Man Utd have two players on the cover

Don't worry guys, all be need is one of two big signings and the feel good factor will be back.

Weirdly the one on the right looks like Chamberlain too. Not sure how long EA have been planning that because surely they wouldn't have had two Arsenal players.

It's Robin and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Was gonna say the right looked like Chamberlain. Was the breakout player for England and Arsenal last season so it would make sense he would replace Wilshere

Quit your bullshit, fool. We will sign no one, finish fourth, sell our two best players, sign a few replacements, finish fourth again...

And I guess I'll have to make a FIFA cover. Can't be looking at that bastard.

Le Grove on Song:

''I've heard he's had a negative impact on some of the other players in the squad as well.''

Sounds like he's been a problem for a while tbh. If he really is disrupting the dressing room then I'm fine with him moving on.

What's on SSN guys.

Song has said his goodbyes to the squad.

Song is someone I want to be replaced. We're light in midfield.

Mal wrote:Song has said his goodbyes to the squad.

Sauce?

To be honest, once we sold van Persie selling Song would have been logical, the thing he brought to the table last year are those Hollywood balls only van Persie can finish, not there is no-one to finish those chances he's a lot tell useful.

There is someone to finish them though...

Giroud, Podolski...

But we've got Cazorla to deliver them balls now

''Apparently Alex Song has been bragging to teammates in training about Barcelona's interest and has been "using it to his advantage." #afc''

What a muppet. Did he not think Wenger might not be too happy with that with the whole RvP thing and Cesc and Nasri last year

Cazorla to take over from Song in terms of creativity so we need an out and out DM with great physicality and good ball retention. MVila or de Jong will do.
