Alex Song has been misjudged, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Cameroonian defender is one of few current Arsenal players who
does not enjoy 100 per cent backing from the fans. Much of the
concern sprang from the Premiership game at Fulham last season
when, by his own admission, Alex had a difficult game and was
substituted at half-time. Song. 20, is likely to start this
evenings Carling Cup tie with Newcastle at centre half, a position
in which the manager believes he can excel. Before the game, Wenger
asked the fans to remain open-minded about his potential.
Dont misjudge Alex Song, he told Arsenal TV Online, because he
is a great player.
I feel he was misjudged in the Fulham game last year where we had
a nightmare first half. He was involved in it so everyone thought
he was to blame but I didnt think so. He moved out to Charlton
where he had some great games.
We believe he is a quality player and I personally believe he can
make it at centre back.
