Wenger - Physically Flamini is perfect
Arsenal completed a move for former Gunner Mathieu Flamini on Thursday. Arsène Wenger told us why he has brought the midfielder back to the Club:
on why he decided to sign Flamini…
Because he's free so we don't need to spend any money on him.
on if versatility played a role in the decision…
Yes, of course. It's a very important impact on the squad because he can cover many positions and is free. He can play with everybody in midfield and he knows the game we want to play and cost nothing. He knows the game in general. He's tactically very shrewd, very focused to win and is totally free and that's why the decision was basically a no brainer.
on if he's the same player that left in 2008…
He's a bit older but he's still only 29 but he's free. The best years are in front of him now - the next three years. Physically, he's perfect. He was tested, prepared and he's physically in fantastic shape and of course he is totally free.
