What more can I say? give the guy a break and he stabs you in the back...
Move to...
Time: 1 year ago, 2007 Player: Mathieu Flamini Place: London
Touted to leave Arsenal and linked to clubs such as Birmingham, this 24-year old opts to stay to fight for his place in the first team. As luck would have it, Gilberto aka The Invisible Wall returning from captaining Brazil in winning the Copa America is rested for the first games of the premiership season. In comes, Flamini, who takes his chance by the scruff of the neck and keeps our loyal loyal Brazilian out of the first team with consistent and key performances. Arsene upon seeing these performances offers him a new contract around the end of the year
Move to....
Time: now, 2008 Player: Mathieu Fla-money Place: Italy
After securing his place in the first team, its not difficult to see whats in his mind when he decided to join a team of old farts, lying 4th in Serie A, who didn't even challenge for anything this season. No not risottoow...That's right folks, the correct answer... money, mulla, cold hard cash. Knowing that he is on the last year of his contract, he holds off resigning, waiting for better offers or for speculation to boost Arsenal's contract offer. As a free agent, the amount of money that he can recieve compared to a contract renewal cannot be realistically matched and off he goes to AC Milan. But wait? wasn't Juve also waiting in the wings to sign this so called lifelong Juventus fan. Looks like the man with a bigger paycheck on offer wins.
So given his performances, he's only had 1 good season in the midfield. yes he's formed an unbelievable partnership with Fabregas and he will be missed but he is not irreplacble. He doesn't want to play for the red and white? Fine, the red and white don't want him. Au Revoir...or should i say...Arriverderci
and here we have one Alexander Hleb -
player attributes: avid ice cream fan and critic, skilful dancing with little end product, shootophobia.
where should i start...first of all... Contrary to what seems to be popular belief... we DO NOT need you. Yes, for the sake of continuity it is better for you to stay...but oh my...how i would love to see a player who could muster more than effing 13 shots on target and 4 goals in effing 38 appearances. You useless shite. Your preferred position is "in the hole" behind the striker? oh you got to play there this season when van persie and eduardo were injured? oh? how wonderful for you. wow...lets see..
Hleb
season 2007-08 (supposedly your best season)
League:
Apps: 31 Goals: 2 Assists: 7
Rosicky
season 2007-08 (season spent under the knife and on the sidelines)
League:
Apps: 19 Goals: 6 Assists: 2
What? Rosicky has scored more than you? Whats that? look at your asissts? but he's played 12 games less than you!
To put it into context, this guy has scored less than William Gallas (4 goals)...
Arsenal can do better...much better
