It will never happen because Wenger is set in his ways but even someone like Darren Fletcher would make a massive difference in the side, or just any type of holding midfielder
I actually believe that Song is a good enough holding midfielder but the problem is he's not being properly utilized; Wegner has given him an overly offensive mandate. For instance, last night Chamakh attempted 13 tackles to Song's 3. Part of Arsenal's problem is the team is not doing enough defensively. I thought Arshavin was extremely lazy last night yet he was 4 for 4 with his tackles. He didn't do enough but even he did more than Song, completely unacceptable.
