Good player, but unless we're really selling Sandro, I don't see us even trying

LOL@"could put off". There is absolutely NO way in heaven Levy would even consider paying Song - or most other players - that kind of salary.

Tottenham transfer news: Alex Song's £9.4m salary demands could put off Spurs


Alex Song is demanding £9.4million a year to return to the Premier League


The former Arsenal midfielder is out of favour at Barcelona and has been made available on loan, with Tottenham thought to be considering a move.

Yet Song is believed to be unwilling to budge from his annual salary of £5m a year after tax, which equates to more than £180,000 a week before deductions.

A more probable destination appears to be Turkey, with Galatasaray likely to move before the transfer window closes.

Overrated! Mate, after RVP he was the goon's best player by a country mile, back in 2011/12, the amount of assists he clocked up that season was very impressive, by far the best CDM in the league that season. Since then he's just been back up at Barca and got hardly any playing time.

Would be a fantastic cheap option alternative to MS if Poch still has concerns over the midfield.

Massive wages and would Barca want to sell anyone seeing as they're banned from transfer dealings until 2016?

The Abidal one makes me crack up everytime. I remember seeing it live and had to keep rewinding and replaying it. It's the sequence of his expressions. Firstly, the way his face lights up when Puyol walks over, then this look of sheer confusion and bewilderment as Abidal shrugs past him. Finally, the sheer embarrassment as he pats Abidal on the back thinking "fuck, I hope nobody noticed!" :LOL:

Call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't call a £9.4 million pa salary a cheap option... ;)

I wonder how much we're paying young Nabil Bentaleb. I'd hate for the ex-goon Song to earn £9m pa and block Bentaleb's development.
