In Euro 2012 he was certainly deployed in a role which didn't include any attacking license. In club football he is more involved. For Arsenal, I think it's far more important for a midfielder to have good positioning when it comes to defending. M'Vila against Spain demonstrated this skill beautifully until the moronic coach took him off. In other words, I think he has a much better footballing brain than Song, and can influence games far more than Song will ever be able to do. In my mind he's the heir to Vieira. Even though an AM is the priority, it would be a shame if M'Vila goes elsewhere.
are the gooners good enough to stay up this season? see you in the championships! floreat salopia! by the by this was a joke
Well, whilst us gooners, given our record, are fair game about our lack of trophies, I think we have the right to be fairly rude to anyone suggesting we are going to drop out of the top 4. So - piss off.
