I THINK MELO IS OVERPRICED AND I DONT SUBSCRIBE TO EBOUE LEAVING WITH OR WITHOUT CASH FOR ANY PLAYER. I THINK EBOUE IS A GOOD PLAYER AND HAS IMPROVED OVER THE YEARS AND WE ARE YET TO SEE HIS BEST.

I saw an interview with flamini just before his final season with us and he was just pissed as we tied up cesc for another 3 years and he had 2 years remaining. flamini was on his final year and not offered another contract so he felt overshadowed/not wanted so it wasn’t like ca$hley who just wanted money. I think he left just because he wasn’t getting his dues and he was getting used as a bit player competing with silva. Don’t forget this guy got us to the cl final playing at lb and then got thrown into the team only when someone else was injured but still he never complained in the media like a lot of others to get a start but chose to put his head down and graft and I for one would welcome him back as what is the point in getting another player and trying to gel him into the team and teach them the arsenal way when flamster will just fit right in and we will see the cesc of old again and more than likley win something.

@ Rooiseun – The difference between Ade and Flamini was that Flamini’s attitude on the pitch never changed and he never flirted with the media. He was out of contract, had no obligation to stay, and was well within his rights to leave. Ade on the other hand has constantly flirted with the media, his effort has dropped on the pitch and he’s under contract. Not that I necessarily want him to go…

Nice comments guys. I think it’s going to take some time before this one gets sorted, if it gets sorted, and I’m certainly not holding my breath that we’ll get Melo. However, as I said, it is encouraging that we are after a defensive midfielder because it’s a virtual admission from the manager that we are light on in that area. Positive signs, especially after he was so quick to bring in Vermaelen.

20m?? sorry Melo is not worth that much. I’d rather stick with Deni & Song. i don’t understand why ppl want Flamini back after he left leave the club……i’m not sure whos worse between Ade and Flamini.

i thinnk cana has leadership qualities but his future contributions for us are doubtful, i reckon he will get more red cards than appearances for arsenal
