Arteta is the central midfielder at Arsenal whose main responsibility is to distribute the ball from deep. he sets the tempo in midfield. Song is the midfielder who presses higher up to make room and tracks back all the way when we're defending. Combines Gattuso's famous role at Milan with a bit of midfield skills to varying degrees of success.
Busquets is practically a sweeper when Barca defends. Other than that his role is mostly about a lot of pressure both on and off the ball in the middle third.
Touré was a rest from a different team and couldn't adapt to a more fluid style so he was sold off.
