This isn't a good signing, it's a cheap signing...if any fans are satisfied with the shower of sh*t that is this summer they need to have their head checked. The only reason we signed the guy is because he cost nothing, Wenger of course is piping out the usual nonsense but we all know the real reason he's here.
Hope the guy screws Wenger over again, because that's kinda what he deserves after resigning him after what happened last time round.
I hope he plays well, tbh.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Good signing.
It's just like he's coming back from a '3 week' injury.

No, he has a point - and I was never convinced of he's effectiveness in the role either. Providing the whole team defend properly as a unit(which we rarely do, if ever), a Good DM stamps their authority on a game in the way ,say PV4,Makelele or a Diddier Deschamps would do without the need to run around like a headless chicken.Good squad signing as he can fill in in 3-4 different positions but he's actually a step down in the quality of the players we have in those positions.

Anyway, he's now Injury prone and not as young as he was, so hopefully he's gained enough experience so as to not need to do the headless chicken....though I have my doubts
good signing. He wants to play, donest ask for huge wages and we need versatile squad cover. Might teach some of them (yeah I'm looking at you denchpong) that its more useful to be an annoying cunt in the middle of the park than an annoying cunt in the middle of soccer AM.
plus if flamini had the good sense to call bulshit on wenger's mast pln five years ago he deserves a pat on the back, not pelters
Flamini played well today
he was our defensive midfielder in 07/08 -ie the only season when we challenged for the title since 2004/05. rossicky was shit/injured all the time from then to his recent rebirth and hleb has been utter gash ever since.
fabregas did alright of course. He and flamini were the part of the spine of that team. Incidentally, when gilberto was out with a broken back, and we'd ost vieira & edu, fabregas and flamini were thrown in at the deep end vs chelsea in 2005. They totally bossed a midfield featuring lampard and makalele in their pomp and it was only becasue of henry spooning it over the bar when faced with an open goal on his hattrick that we didnt take all three points
Flamini for his part edges out gilberto silva lest we forget. And it was a monumental act of douchbaggery on wenger's part to lose him on a free. Cant balme flamini for having enough of wenger's bullshit and walking either - though he himself acknowledges he has unfinished business here.
focussing on the practicalities though:
1) we need more cover in the middle of the park
2) we now have three squad mmber who can play RB
3) (on vermaelen's return) we will have four options at LB
4) he was signed on a free
5) he is an experienced player who can organise/teach the younger lads a thing or two.
think of him as the sort of player john o shea was at united. useful
