To be honest I was shocked to read this on ESPN. "I woke up and read those things in the paper and was really surprised and disappointed. I love Arsenal, I never wanted to leave," Song told the*Sun on Sunday. "I was ready to commit my future to the club. All I wanted were talks about a new contract but each time we were due to sit down, the club postponed it. I was fobbed off. I wanted a new five-year contract at Arsenal. In the end I got one - at Barcelona. "I had been trying for eight months to start talking about a new long-term deal but the club kept postponing me all the time, saying 'You have three years left'. I hadn't talked about money, I just wanted to sit down and discuss a new deal - I wanted to commit my career to the club I loved. "Then out of the blue, Barcelona came in for me. And, suddenly, I was wanted by the biggest club in the world and they wanted to give me a five-year deal."

Sure that is his side. Who doesn't think about renewing a contract for a better wage when they have 3 years left in the contract? It's no matter of urgency with that many years left. Bullshit.
yeah they never " want " to leave , its always the clubs fault aint it . anyone remember these days. ?
Speaking of Song, he's been an unused sub for Barca. It's actually sad when you think of it, because I doubt he will feature much at Barca, and Song's worked hard, and with Arsenal's help, has managed to establish himself as a first team regular, so this will be a step back in his career for him, as he's relegated back to the bench.
Hilarious. I'll laugh as he rots on the bench. But at least he'll be rotting on the best bench in the world.
Song is an idiot. He had a great career ahead of him at Arsenal and was a first pick on the team sheet. He'd worked hard to get into the first team and now he's going to struggle to feature for Barca. He said he loved Arsenal and "wanted to commit my career to the club I loved" So with 3 years left on the contract for the club he 'loved' he signed for Barca instead - ****ing shyster
