Arsenal done with Music

One of the key midfielders from last season is gone to one the best clubs in the world. In order to leave, all he said was that he wanted to leave. I don't know how much the Manager did to keep him. By the way I am talking about Alex Song leaving Arsenal for Barcelona, in case you are confused. I am confused too why Arsenal let him go, so probably this article may not make much sense.

Last season, the star from Cameroon was the cornerstone of Arsenal's midfield. With slick passes, humble footwork and great work ethic, he harmonized Arsenal's defence with the offence. He gets more credit for the assists that made Robin Van Persie 2011\2012 Golden Boot winner. In my mind (and I believe also other gunner fans) I never saw Song leaving Arsenal so soon. Barcelona must be lucky and ought to respect Arsenal big time! First it was Thierry Henry, next followed Fabregas and recently Song has taken his music to Camp Nou. Who else is Barcelona admiring at Arsenal?

Almost a decade ago Arsenal used to be a superpower in soccer, especially in England. Those days are gone and now Arsenal seems to be tired of being the best and instead selling their best players and making other clubs the best. First it was Barcelona, Man City dropped coins and did an overhaul on Arsenal (Nasri, Clichy and Kolo Toure), Man United couldn't just watch so they snatched one (RVP).

Arsenal is known for nurturing young talent and making superstars. Examples, Henry, Theo, Van Persie, Cesc ,Viera etc.  It's mind boggling when in most cases Arsenal doesn't leap much from some of its finest superstars. I might be wrong but it seems like Arsenal is on a mission to make and sell hence making other teams better than her. Oh well! Arsenal still qualifies for the Champions League and I guess that's enough for the club.  As a fan it's tough and rough to be an Arsenal fan, especially the last five years, but who said it's easy to be loyal?

Song is gone hence no more music at Arsenal until Arsenal buds another Song and keep him as long as he can sing and dance. Forever a Gunner!!
