Ed,
It's being reported that Arsenal have shown interest in Alex Song. Are you aware of any approach for him by Arsenal, or is the report just guesswork, as we are looking for DM an he has been made available.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any move for him.}

The speed of Song's transfer to Barcelona must have set some sort of record:- either he was desperate to join what he repeatedly described as " the best club in the world" or Wenger was only too happy to accept what seemed to be an opening offer of £11million, with little or no haggling. Even in the days of Fabregas, Van Persie and Nasri Song always seemed to consider himself as one of the stars in the team, a position not many fans acknowledged.
Yes we need a DM, but not this one who has too much baggage.

I seem to recall that Song had an attitude problem whilst at Arsenal, often late for training. I think there is zero chance of us signing him.

I think if we qualify for CL, then Khedira will be on his way. If however we don't then Wenger would probably go for Song.
