I thought in the early stages of the season he might be the answer to our midfield problems, I was well off the mark. <BR/>He doesn't run and his tackles merely interupt opposition play instead of halting it. He puts his foot in, thinks the job's done and then watches as the cheeky opposition just bundle past him. Really, come on.

He needs at least 20 games with Fabregas before any real judgments could be made, but there is no doubt that Song makes us stronger in the middle of the park.<BR/><BR/>Right at this moment in time, our injured players are almost all wingers.
