So if 50k p/w (as a free agent mind you) is a significant increase on what he was getting at Milan, which he is supposed to have left us for because we were paying him much less- wtf? Was he playing for us for nothing the first time? 😆
He was on much more at Milan, but that contract expired and Milan were unwilling to offer him a new contract on similar wages. It looked at one point he was leaving, but he changed his mind and signed a year deal on much lower wages. Now he's using Arsenal to get another top contract - they guy is a businessman. He'll sign for another club on a free transfer in 3 years time.
Of course Milan fans would want him to stay, they've accepted having the likes of Muntari in their starting line-up, why wouldn't they want Flamini as a sub?
17m on Gustavo or Flamini for free? Easy choice for Wenger.
'Special player' number 1 is in, can't wait for the rest :erm:
