old @YoungGunsBlog errrr @Sanderson says we're trying to complete Flamini's paperwork so that he can be in the squad saturday.
and thus ends the illustrious arsenal career of Emmanuel Frimpong.

This is still a step in the rt direction. The starting 11 is strong, but there is just no way they can stay healthy the whole season.

he's had some injury issues. wasn't a first choice at Milan. he's been training with us for weeks and is just now signing. reeks of desperation. purely a cover signing at DM/full back. hopefully he is healthy enough to contribute some.
I don't think it reeks of desperation. Just a good band aid for now. And good depth later.

to me, if he's been with us training for a few weeks and we just now have decided to sign him, that means he wasn't exactly blowing things out of the water. apparently he had offers from 3 unknown italian clubs and west ham though.
would imagine he's only getting a one, maybe two, year deal.

Hopefully one year at no more than 50,000... but I'm sure it's more like 2 years at 75k

He also probably wasn't matchfit that whole time. I don't mind this at all. Provides great cover and is a good player. This type of signing usually works out for us rather well. I don't want you to forget how good Flamini can be. He's a grafter who actually has good technique. A better Coquelin.
With this we have bodies in midfield and at both full back positions. It's a good signing despite being lackluster.

No way will he get a contract that high. He was on the equivalent of 75k when he started at Milan but then took a paycut. I'm betting he's on 30 something.

Just going based on the rumors I heard, you're right though they probably won't come too close to that.
Posted on 8/22/13 at 3:22 pm to crazy4lsu
true. i remember how good he was. i also remember that was five years ago and a lot has changed. i don't disagree with it. it's a no risk signing for cover. just still feels desperate to me. desperate isn't necessarily bad, though i understand it has a negative connotation.

I don't imagine he'll be as mobile as he once was but I honestly am happy we added experienced depth. Our youth program has failed us in a massive way and we needed depth from somewhere.

yes it has. did you read that article on it i posted a couple of days ago? i think it was from the guardian...
Posted on 8/22/13 at 3:38 pm to Friend of OBUDan
I did, but there wasn't a lot of substance to it, except that we lost some good coaches.
That said, it's obvious our youth program isn't developing the talent we need.

Looking forward to tomorrows lunchtime match. 
Should be a great day for the Gunners.
DeathValleyTigerGirl, I'll do my best to net one for you tomorrow.
and maybe I'll even pour more water on my face for you...
Go Gunners!

when we whiff on a new striker he will be like a new signing!
