5. Alex Song
Despite clearly being off the boil since the turn of the year, 178 fans voted thumbs up for Alex Song – while 51 voted down.
When he arrived at the club in August he made an immediate impact after we lost two of our first three games of the season. He played a major role in the form that had is sitting pretty in the top four over the festive period, and we were all eager for the club to sign him permanently.
But since retiring from international football in January and then suffering with illness, Song has been a shadow of the player who was so outstanding in the first half of the campaign.
He still has the odd flash of brilliance, though, and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t look to sign him from Barcelona permanently if the transfer fee and his wage demands are acceptable.
