I think we need to add another addition to help our central midfield, while Song is no world beater we aren't going to sign one within the next 5 days of the transfer window so having Song on loan for a season would be frugal business.
I think he'd be a considerably step up from Lucas (post injury); Song has better passing and mobility, plus his vision of passing is quite good. Defensive he's not perfect but neither is Lucas being brutally honest.
Not sure how much of that is still there as he's had no serious injuries (to my knowledge) but he has lost a lot of game time due to being 2nd or 3rd choice but I think there's a decent player in there who can come and make a very good contribution to the team.
I think it would make good business sense to loan Song for a season, as Barcelona are desperate to get rid of him and it's low risk. He does well, we possibly keep him and sell Lucas, he struggles and he just goes back to Barcelona.
I don't think he's a long term solution though. I think if we want to compete in CL and for PL titles we need a step up in quality but for a season I wouldn't complain.
yes that make sense....BUT
Barcellona don't want a loan move for him they want to move him permanently
AC Milan asked about a loan move for song, but barca refused and song wants a premiere return
guess if barca refused a loan deal to Italy , they will do the same here too
all this according to this article below reporting what the mirror said, and it does not mean its true

on another note.. vv
yesterday I was watching sky Italy tv station 'supercalcio tv' which follows all football transfer deals all over Europe
Ac milan want Torres from Chelsea on loan for 1 or 2 years
torres wants to join, BUT he don't want to have a pay-cut, he earns 7/8M per year with the chavs
Milan don't want to pay as much wages, they only want to pay the player up to 5/6M x year
So today the player's agent is flying to London to convince the chavs to paying the rest of torres's wages
All this was declared live by one of Milan's official F. Galli
Never understood these type of deals : paying someone all or part of the wage bill to a player you cannot use, as was Reina's deal with Napoli , if I'm correct
This to give an example how Italian clubs want to do business on transfers, and maybe that's why I personally hate any loan deals with serie A clubs
