Alex Song

But it does make it easy, doesn't it? It does make it easier to have Bergkamp in your team.

So I think it is the smarter choice to pick Lauren, isn't it? Um, a lot of you are saying Alex Song.

I don't...

Alex Song as DM.

Alex Song, to me, was one of the most overrated players.

I genuinely felt Alex Song was really overrated.

[chuckles] Good player.

It's not to say he's not a good player, but Alex Song was overrated for me.

I think you see it even in the cameos every time, you know, this is somebody with a lot of talent on the ball.

And, you know, he's got that Alex Song partay ability to receive on the back.

foot right like he can receive let the ball come across him and play really punchy progressive passes that's the type of player he is there's going to be a lot of work that we have to do positionally as far as making him understand what it means to play as a six and not vacate his areas also he's got that youngster thing as a six where i think eve sometimes he follows the ball quite a bit and a lot of the six is letting the ball come to you not necessarily following the ball and constantly being an option it's not a bad thing it's just i think he needs to understand when to hold when to go and he's not quite mastered that positionally yet nor should he But that's just the next evolution for Eve to be even more of an option for us in midfield.

As far as Theo Julien goes, that's somebody that I think a lot of people in the academy just go, they're proud of him.

That was before shorts.

I wasn't allowed to take photos, and I have one of proof with me with Abu Diaby and Alex Song.

Thanks, Joe from Bristol.

Incredible.

I'm a West Ham fan.

I can tell you Alex Song this season, unbelievable.

If we're doing Mastermind now, is this your specialist subject, if we did Mastermind now?

[laughs] Oh, no.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Best player, honestly, Alex Song.

For me, um, watching West Ham, him, Payet are two of the best players I've seen at West Ham.

Who did you play with?

It was me and, and Song, Alex Song.

Uh, Robin up front.

Uh, I think Clichy was playing as well.

Look, look, look-

The lads that are in front of you.

You've got Cesc, you've got Song, you've got Diaby You've got Gilberto, you've got Flamini.

You've got up front, you've got Robin, you've got Adebayor.
