I like managers with flare. One manager i hated with a passion was JM. But u have to admit, he brought something to the Premiership. He was very dramatic.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the club must take responsibility for Mathieu Flamini's move to AC Milan.
Wenger would not break his wage cap for Flamini, 24, who turned down Arsenal's reported offer of £55,000-a-week to join Milan on a free transfer.

People leave there jobs for pay increases all the time. One might argue if you're earning so much to start with an increase doesn't carry as much weight when deciding whether to move or not
its a bigger team as you say, but also take into consideration that Wenger does not like to strengthern the team with 'big' names, must have influenced his decisionHis contract was up and he moved, lets be honest its a bigger team so who blames him.
It's just that he was so massive for Arsenal this season,you would have thought he/they would have made more effort to make sure he stayed....
Maybe we can sell them Fletcher and/or Saha as a replacement![]()

Yip he was key player for Arsenal, they should have given him the money he wanted, if you look at hopeless Wes Brown getting 55k a week, Flamini should get 100k.
That Saha/Fletcher is a good idea HJ, but you know how much Fergie loves his fellow Scot. Saha should be given to another club for free, and add an aid kit with it.
Ya, they can have Saha and Fletch for free...
You forgot to mention Brown
but contentiously, I would keep Saha as back up for the 'weaker' games. (not that there are many nowadays with the strength of the EPL)
Sucks when players run after more cash
I'd play for the Arse for R700 000 a week![]()
when arsenal offer you 55k and another team offer you 80k a week you telling me you would not move
i would move
arsenal are going nowhere slowly, its a sinking ship
milan will be back on top and he knows it

On a free transfer...now wenger should calculate how much he lost in a sale fee that could have compensated for a higher wage to keep flamini. I remember it favouring him when he got Sol Campbell on a free from spurs and paid him £100k per week.
Real shame - good talent Flamini had to show for the EPL.
