He seems to me as too much of a long term kind of man. Sometimes sacrifices must be made, and so be it, for the sake of the short and mid term, which in turn will benefit the long term. I mean, to me it makes perfect sense: why are some of our best players leaving? Had we won the league a couple of times and a Champions League with cesc would he have left for Barcelona?
I commented earlier this season about how I didn't much care for this new marauding Alex Song. He was probably the worst player on the pitch in a red shirt last Saturday and that has to be down to the fact he simply did not know his responsibility. If
Samir Nasri who I thought was exceptional throughout the game pulled down Song's deflected cross marvelously. It was almost Bergkamp-esque, he adjusted his feet very quickly and fired high past the keeper on his weaker left foot. A great great goal.
