I have never bought the line that Darren Dein is trying to destabalise the club.
I could list all the players he has been agent for or advised and each one of them makes sense from the player's view.
But the key point is that there was never any falling out between the Deins and Wenger, so I cannot see why Dein Jr would deliberately make efforts to weaken our squad.
Anyway, if Song does leave he has done us a favour, so too with Adebayor and so too with Clichy.

agents make more money when their players move
DD, like his dad (and many here), believes clubs can only win things by spending big money

of course he advises his clients to move,
Wenger will make you a star - then just stab him in the back and earn the big bucks elsewhere

Those wishing Song to leave, rejoice!

Wenger's all but confirmed it just now. When asked about Song leaving, said "could happen".

Some people are fraught with worry over him leaving.
It has been an eye opener finding out how some regard him as integral to the team.

I know a guy that claimed Wiltord was top top quality. I don't mean like "he did ok, not a genius but ok at times, scored a few goals". No. He claimed Wiltord was "as good as Henry". :lol:

I want Song gone as much as anybody else. I also want Walcott gone.

But when are people going to get the picture? If you thought Wenger's planning last summerwas spectacularly retarded, this summer's is even worse! So he gets the AKBs fired up with the signigns of Pod, Giroud and Cazorla.

A raft of people wanted Gael Clichy gone on here - remember? Yes e was a liability but as I said at the time, 'the replacement will be worse'. And low and behold Clichy is gone to win titles, and Arsenal et a fat useless rubbish 'Brazilian'. Just grand.

Wenger then: days before the season opener - sells the double PFA Player of the Year to Manchester United. A team that humiliated Arsenal 8-2 last season and whom Arsenal haven't come close to in the league or Europe to for over 6 years!!! :shock:

It gets worse still. On the eve of Arsenal's PL season opener, he decides to sell he only DCM of any note he has - meaning that Arsenal will go into the new season with not a single recognized DCM. Oh I forgot, we have Frimpong (LOL) and Coquelin (errrm...who?). So Wenger himself admitted today that the Arsenal squad is reeling from RVP departure and that he is 'hurting'. Sure way to fire up the troops before a new season is about to start. He's surrendered before a ball is kicked!

So Arsenal start the season with:

1. No goalkeeping solutions. Chez is mediocre, back up not worth thinking about.
2. Absolutely no changes whatsoever to the defensive personnel. You know, the same personnel that leaked nearly FIFTY league goals last season! :shock:
3. Even worse in attack. The one man band that was RVP has been sold and he is elying on an unproven one seaosn wonder from Ligue 1, and another man who was relegated with Koln.

I wonder what effect it has on the squad that all these players are being pelted out just before a new season kicks of. Whatever happened to AW 'learning from past mistakes'? The squad is being interrupted insanely and the season starts tomorrow.

There is no DCM.

People say 'oh with Steve Bould in there now'. Uh huh. Steve Bould has been coaching the younger ones for a while now and remind me how many quality efenders have come out of that? Or have you ever seen our youth teams defend? Wow it's scary.

Bould is there because he will be the new Pat Rice. Anyone thinking otherwise is dreaming.

On the eve of a new season, Wenger is more preoccupied about making a quick buck here and there than organizing a quality team.

I have absolutely no respect for Wenger, not a single iota. He is not a football man, he is a greedy, egotist, corporate , and a moey grabber who lies to the fans and has no humility. He has a worse trophy recordthan Alex McLeish over the past 7 years so that says everything you need to know about mr 7 million quid.

The only ray of light is that this incompetent imposter only has 2 years left in which to continue screwing Arsenal's future. Hopefully someone of quality can come in and repair all the crap Wenger has woven. Though with this supine board in charge I won't hod my breath...

Quite a few calling for Wenger's head on TalkSport at the moment. The problem we have is our fans who have been brain-washed into acting as economists instead of football fans. I ask the AKB - what is the relevance to you as a fan of the Club of Wenger making profits in transfer dealings and running the Club at a massive profit? I support Arsenal to see them do well and hopefully win things. I don't support the balance sheet or to take the moral high-ground from City and Chelsea fans. You lot need to get real and remember why you first starting supporting Arsenal.

Sorry, a lot of us don't rate Song, and now we're moaning that he's being sold??

Baba I get your points, some of them very well made, but hey, we didn't sign Kalou did we?

So?

I wasn't Songs biggest critic, but quite frankly what does it matter? To many he's a liability, so surely NOT having him in the side is good.

On this one some fall out seems to have taken place. Get him the F out.
