Apparently it's not Song who's entirely to blame for his mindless wandering up the pitch malarky. It's Wenger who's told him this (The Times). :/
ANyone who remotely thought Song was playing DM for, most of this season, is daft. Wilshire has been DM, Nasri played DM in one game and got pushed there after Wilshire was subbed, maybe last weekend, can't recall, Denilson, even Fabregas has spent large portions of games sitting deeper than Song.
Wenger seems to freely admit that Song is useless in DM, why, he'll start Denilson there, who can barely be described a footballer, and Wilshire(a hugely hugely promising Fabregas type) is being favoured there as frankly Song is so bad and a truly quality player like WIlshire can adapt and play a non favoured role, Nasri was tried there(and better than Song) end of the season before last, may have continued if Diaby hadn't broken his leg in the summer between those seasons.
The shocking part of it is, Song now isn't in the team for defensive duties at all, yet still runs back and fails to defend properly when required, fouls needlessly leading to goals, and his offensive work is laughable. Woo, he fluked a few goals in a row, so the hell what, one of them was even a very nice little chip finish, before then, for his entire life, and since then, he's been woeful.
Wilshire would play Song's current role massively better, his passing in those situations, ability to play a throughball or clever one/two makes him ideal for that kind of role.
Like I said, we bought Song as a striker, he went out on loan, was crap, came back, was pushed into midfield as he couldn't hit a barn door, moved to DM, then RB< then CB, then DM again as his least awful position, now our star in the making attacking midfield is playing DM because he's too poor to continue there.
How many other managers would keep trying star attacking midfielders over your supposely great DM in that position, then keep insisting on starting your rubbish DM, as a rubbish attacking midfielder, for several seasons, without replacing him.
Would Utd try Nani, or Obertan as their DM, no, would Chelsea try Kalou, or Malouda as their DM, no. Nor would, in the case that they started Kalou as a DM, would they take it upon themselves to play Mikel in Lampards role, its laughable.
