Players Who Regret Leaving Arsenal by Dan S.
Last week Arsene Wenger was quick to squash any hope Alex Song may have had of returning to Arsenal. Song has failed to establish himself in Barcelona’s star studded midfield and was hoping that a return to the Emirates might be his solution to a lack of game time at the Spanish giants.
Don’t get too excited, it’s not Falcao. However, all the media attention devoted to the Colombian striker, Radamel Falcao, could be a blessing. Madrid’s other striker, Adrian Lopez Alvarez, has passed under the radar, despite hitting 11 goals in 18 European matches for the Spanish side. Commonly known as Adrian, the striker has declined to sign a new contract with Madrid and has a release clause of under £15 million.
Adrian has told Spanish newspaper AS that he is happy and not worried about his future, having three years left on his current deal. His club must feel differently, though, if they are trying to get him to re-sign. Adrian joined Madrid as a free agent from Deportivo La Coruna last summer and has been in impressive form all year, ousting former Arsenal man Jose Antonio Reyes from the starting line up.
