guys guys guys... i think we should calm down on this one. Didn't he himself say he was happy at arsenal, and wasn't there an official statement from secco that we are NOT interested in him? He's in contract talks, that's just how it works. Here a rumour with juve (because we are linked with pretty much EVERYONE), there a rumour with milan, maybe next week there will be a 'flamini to barca'-Headline or something with real. And in the end?! He'll have doubled his wage and keep playing in london. I'm pretty sure he'll stay, there is no reason for him to change really, and even if there was, i think arsenal have the means to hold him. Look at the wages they are paying, other countries just can't follow like that, and we all know that money makes the world go 'round.
It's fun reading all this, but i won't count with flamini for next season, partly because of what i said just now, and partly because we don't really need him. The arguments brought up by all of you are correct, and it would probably be an upgrade in our midfield, but i think we can all agree that we don't desperately need a CM at this moment.
