Barring injury, he's only gone for ACN so at most, we need a guy (Vertonghen?) at a different position who can play DM if needed. We've also got Frimpong who is a pretty good young player and would probably be a better option than spending a lot of money on someone like Melo or Toulalan. Is it really worth spending 12-14M on another DM when ACN is going to keep Song away for around 6 weeks?
IMO Song only works well with a more pro-active CM playing with him, which is Wilshere. When anyone else played with him last year they went to ****. And I don't think he can play a lone DM position. So I'd rather sign a guy better than Song, that can play lone DM. That way when Wilshere's out we can play
