3 years this season. 2 years next season. Following season gone. Im sorry but contracts just dont go up like your age they go down and they go down just as quickly as your age goes up. If Arsène or whomever has tried to get a deal done and Song has shown no interest then we have another Nasri/Clichy/RVP/Walcott/Flamini scenario and we have learnt from that. Its not bollocks its cold hard facts and its the sign our club is slowly beginning to be run properly with leadership been taken with hard decisions being made. We can make the easy decision keep him and hope he signs and have this groundhog day summer all over again but we decided at an early stage he doesnt want to be here he wont sign his contract IS RUNNING DOWN get rid because unlike Nasri or RVP we wont get 20m for him in his final season.Le Professeur said:bingobob said:His contract was running down he wasnt gonna sign a new one and wanted to move. I think we have learnt our lesson in this regards and if he hadnt then the board and management are completely stupid. Thankfully they have and we have sanctioned this transfer.HollandGooner said:I dont understand our board members could someone please explain this? they dont want to move forward.
Simples
Bollocks, he had 3 years to go.
Our board are a proper bunch of n00bs.

More or less done even on Arsenal.com(usually late with news) which probably means it's all done.

19 million Euros, they had to rub it in.
We need to work on our release clauses!!FC Barcelona has agreed a deal with Arsenal FC for the transfer of Alex Song to the Camp Nou. The fee is 19 million euros
The Cameroon international midfielder will sign for the next five seasons with a release clause of 80 million euros
On Monday he’ll have a medical and then join the rest of the squad for the official team presentation at the Gamper
Agreed and if the player refuses the release clause that should be a warning sign.

Well we better sell Cazolra quick then because technically his contract is running down too.

And he never went public with statements about us either. He was asked last week and said he was happy here and that Barca were a great side. For a player who was leaving that was restrained and respectful.

You've completely missed his point haven't you.
