Demetrio, I like Flamini and I don’t want him to leave. Having said so, Who was arguably one of our best players last season? Ans: Gilberto. My point is, if a deal can’t be agreed and he ends up leaving, we have more than adequate covere. After his example, I believe if Diaby gets his chance, he will work like a madman to keep it.

It was Diarra’s ambition that drove him to leave. He was largely led by the French International manager who speaks to him more than Wenger has in the last 4 months. Domenech told him that only regular first team football would secure him his desire of a starting position in Euro 2008 so he had to move. He is a very confident lad and believes that Harry of all managers will sell him on to a top club and make a nice profit once everyone can see how good he is week in and week out. Even Wenger admitted that he was likely to be a top player but could not change team selection at present. I know he was desparate to stay at Arsenal. He sacrificed a cut in money to come to Arsenal rather than stay at Chelsea on a very good new deal but his International ambition has driven him to this.

Vicente, while a good player, is more injury-prone than Robin van Persie. For that reason I would never want to see him signed.

Diarra is too young to join the Arsenal’s old peoples home (Kanu Laurent Campbell and Tony Adams).Anyway good luck to him . Diaby has the the skill and the swagger of Viera the only thing is, he is not a fierce tackler like Viera or Flamini and also dwells on the ball a bit longer. Wenger can work with him and turn him into a complete player. I’m sure Flamini will stay but this is football and sometimes money talks. The Boss dropped our best player last season Gilberto to give him a run in the team so he can’t let him down. If he goes the Arsenal fans will never forgive him.

Flamini wont leave…he has finally made a name for himself at arsenal..he even looks like a arsenal player!

On the Silva topic…he is the perfect player for arsenal..not Richards not Benzema……..Silva! why? because arsenal need that specialist left winger and silva has it all…he can cross, score, and is silky smooth, with amazing touch and great technique…also is very very young..Valenica are in a rebuilding phase though and he is a valencia jnr so id say he wont be leaving anytime soon and if he did he would cost alot of money and alot of clubs would be after him!

maybe arsenal can go for someone like Vincente ?

I would never want Flamini to leave, but I’m confident he won’t. There’s no reason why he would and frankly I’m not worried about his contract situation.

Jay and Co, I agree with you about Diaby. I think he has potential to be an amazing central midfielder. I just wish he was played there a little more.

Why the hell would you let Flamini go? He’s been one of the better players all season.. besides, i dont hink he even wants to leave the club. He has formed a nice partnership with Fabragas in the midfield.
