Great. Flamini would suit perfectly in our team. I just hope Carlo wont continue his saga with French players.

Yes, all italian media agree. Flamini has agreed a 5 year deal with Milan, it will be oficial in a few days. Even Cobolli Gigli has admitted Juve have given up.

I read it somewhere, the reporters asked Gigli: Will you sign Flamini, he responded with NO.

Haha.. Zebras

too much.

same as pirlo, seedorf, gattuso and other milan 'stars' are getting for a new young french player that people only talked about after milan-arsenal game (gorky gets 1m...). But since juve were offering 3 there really aint a choice... hopefully he'll prove his worth.

We over pay our players. Just reading through that list of what our team earns is INSANE!!

He's young but not new. He played spectacularly at LB when Arsenal went to CL final, showing his versatility. And this season he's been the perfect foil for Fabregas in the midfield. His workrate is phenomenal really. Gourcuff being a relative unknown when we got him is reason for his 1m. 4m a season is probably a lot still but considering what Juve were offering it makes sense, and its not too farfetched I suppose.

Really ? :D
That would b great.
And dont worry about the 4mil/year coz teams always pay big salaries when the players r free.
4 me his salary in not more than 2mil coz I think he is worse 8Mil , 8Mil we didnt pay.
If this is true , Milan staff just gained a point in my eyes.

So is it ;) 4 mio is ok we dont paid for him to Arsenal. This man is 24 he is fast strong and play long an short passes in the way like Pirlo did them at his best so I welcome him with open arms. really good but i hope also gattuso will stay. :(

if this is actually true this is amazing. I always wondered who we would ever get to replace gattuso, but the answer is here now. The perfect long term solution to gattuso.

Fantastic. Take emo's no.5 and give it to him.

Edit: Just realised just HOW long its been since we actually made a signing that i was happy about. The last one was Crespo, which admittedly struck a chord with me cos im a groupie, but before that, its hard to remember which one has really got me excited.
We didnt know much about Kaka when he came, so i would think probably this is the first since Nesta and Rivaldo's signings, apart from Crespo.

Great news!!! :D

This "seems" to be realistic, as this news is what could have prompted Gattuso to get a little irritated, thus starting rumours of his leaving Milan.



Good chance he'll be capitain next year, don't think he's going anywhere.

Why he should b Gatu's replacment ?
He can replace Ambro + Pirlo 2.
So make em compete 4 their spot or rotating all 4 isnt really bad.

If this is true then it's a great signing for us. He is the ideal midfield enforcer plus he is very versatile and can play a bit too. :)

We'll rotate all 4 surely. Pirlo gets competition, Gattuso+Ambrosini get rested and hence remain fitter longer. Its a win win situation for us. But lets wait for the confirmation.

You're right he's more versatille than Gattuso and would be useful in more positions in the midfield.

Almost like a Gattuso & Pirlo wrapped up into one.

It will be interesting to see how he's used/rotated in the squad. ;)

If the deal is sealed it's a great move in every aspect of it, he is young, experienced and versatile.

I think he will be one the 11's starters. Gattuso and Ambro will fight for the other place as he has more creativity than both of them and doesnt lack the grit and determination either.

The news is also on transfermarkt

Flamini wechselt vom FC Arsenal zum AC Mailand

Flamini wechselt vom FC Arsenal zum AC Mailand
Der AC Mailand steht unmittelbar vor einer Verpflichtung des französischen Mittelfeldspielers Mathieu Flamini.

Der 24-Jährige werde London und den FC Arsenal mit Ablauf seines Vertrages zum Saisonende Richtung Italien verlassen, berichtete die «La Gazzetta dello Sport» am Freitag. Der Franzose erhalte einen Fünfjahresvertrag mit einem Jahresgehalt von vier Millionen Euro. Der Vertrag werde in den nächsten Tagen unterzeichnet. In Italien hatte sich auch Rekordmeister Juventus Turin um Flamini bemüht. Die Turiner sollen jedoch nur drei Millionen Euro pro Jahr geboten haben.

It says that Milan has offered a 5 year deal, worth 4 million euros per season. The contract will be signed and confirmed in few days. It also says that he refused Zebras, since they offered only 3 millions per year.

Well, it's Gazzetta, so it's very doubtful. Anyway 4 mln are too much. If everyone gets big money in Milan, it doesn't mean that Frenchmen must also get.

Is it more than 180% this time? BTW, Abbiati will return from loan this summer, looks like he will take the number one shirt. He had a very good season when we loaned him out to Juventus two or three years ago replacing the injured Buffon, so he might do well, and above all he's gratis.

I just hope, I really hope we get him, I have followed him quite a while here in England ( as I live in London ) and he's great. Now lets hope we really DO sign him and lets hope he fits in within the squad.

Well, i think that Juventus move is very stupid for him if he wants to win CL cuz even if Milan fails to get 4th place they we'll win it next year but Juventus need 20 years to win CL and in that time he'll probably retire :D :D
