Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna has revealed that while he was expecting the sale of Arsenal star Robin van Persie, he was completely bemused by the sale of midfielder Alex Song.
As we all know Song still had three years remaining on his contract, but was still sold to Barcelona for £15m. Song further fuelled speculation by stating he tried to initiate new contract negotiations for eight months, but was refused a new long-term contract with Arsenal saying ‘you have three years left.’
Sagna is quoted as saying the ESPN Soccernet on the ordeal:
We expected Robin Van Persie to leave, but not Alex Song … it was a surprise. I still do not understand.
This is a huge loss for the club. They were the top two players from last season – you ask a lot of questions. I understand...
