Good luck for the future. You will probably win loads of trophies now you have escaped from here.
World class? You've really jumped the shark with this comment.
Can you think of any of our remaining players which would be capable of playing for Barcelona?
I can't. You have to be world class to play for Barelona which Song is. Some of his assists for RVP last season were amazing. I just find it sad we are no longer able to keep hold of our genuinely talented players.
Well there goes Sids version of events that Song was a model pro To be honest he played in the same manner that he seemed to be
So if it's in the Mirror it's true The fact is, in his time at Arsenal, Song, no matter what you think of his footballing ability, has never said a word out of turn in the press nor anywhere else as far as I'm aware.
If there was any acrimony in his move, I would suggest it was because he didn't necessarily want to leave, but when it was made clear he was surplus to requirements he might, looking around him at some of the shite considered to be part of Arsene's masterplan. been a tad pissed off.
So your dislike of Cesc comes from where then Sid ? I already pointed out to you that Cesc was a model pro, played for us with a broken leg and never said a bad word about us in the press so how is that any different from your "model pro" ? The difference is, as I suggested before, that Cesc actually delivered on the pitch on a regular basis unlike the arrogant lazy Cameroon c**t

No red, you don't. Barca buy shit just like everybody else does. Martin Caceres bought for €16.5M sold for €3M. Dymtro Chygrinsky €25M sold 1 year later €15M. Keirrison €14M played zero games.
These are three unmitigated flops from Barca's recent history & none of these are 'world class' (whatever this even means). Also, would you count Hleb as world class? How about van Bronckhorst?
Just becasue Barca sign somebody it doesn't mean they're the second coming.
You seem to have reverted to type Red, which is a shame.
i think aa should be considered a bit differnetly to the others. he hasnt done it for whatever reason, mostly cios he is lazy, but we know there is talent there. the others are just plain shite. at least AA has the ability, it just needs someone to motivate him and get it into his head.

I don't have a particular dislike for Cesc, but in comparison with Song, there is no doubt in my mind that Cesc palyed a huge part instigating his own transfer, and constantly told anyone who would listen that he wanted to return to Barcelona. My argument isn't about their ability as players. As for the playing with a broken leg, come on Augie, do you honestly think he knew his leg was broken?

Sorry but this just gets me. Andrey Arshavin gets more stomach turning exceptions than anybody else, totally unjustified.
He isn't unmotivated, he is shit, just shit.
He is a turd and i think I hate him, because people only make excuses for him.
As for alex if is true, barca management and fans have zero patience. I hope he realises that he has to give 100% otherwise he is out. Standards at Barca are quite high I hear.

Why? Because they can, cheaply, weaken us and United need a player like him.
Goodbye Song, another of our best players gone to Barca for for fuck all.
By all accounts he was a bad egg mate, the way I see it is we are stuck in this groundhog day scenario not competing and losing players to 'bigger' clubs! So something has to change, getting rid of the bad eggs is addressing this, rvp is a major loss and I don't blame him for going. He doesnt have the luxury of time to play out another season of rebuilding. But song will be replaced, and I won't miss his attitude or inability to do his quite simple role on midfield.
To be honest he played in the same manner that he seemed to be
