Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Wenger Should Have Signed
6. Alex Song
Despite six years at Arsenal seven if you include his loan deal with the Gunners before joining permanently - not too many Gooners were disappointed when the Cameroonian international departed for Barcelona. The wonderfully named Alexandre Dimitri Song Billong failed to hold down a first-team place with the Catalan giants. And, after just two seasons with the La Liga giants, Song has found himself back in the Premier League with West Ham United. Songs departure was nowhere near as big of a blow to Arsenal as Emmanuel Adebayors, Samir Nasris or Robin van Persies. However, a move to bring back the one-time Gunner wouldve made sense with the window about to close. Despite the myth that Song is a defensive midfielder hes too ill disciplined in a positional and temperamental sense he wouldve helped add a bit more mobility to the middle of the park than Arteta and Flamini can offer. West Ham have secured a signing well above their station, and on loan, surely that kind of deal wouldve been a beneficial stop-gap for Arsene Wengers XI?
