Well it's been all over for a while now, and it was finally confirmed yesterday that Mathieu Flamini has signed for AC Milan ending months of speculation and torment for all concerned with Arsenal Football Club.
 
Flamini signed a four year deal worth in the region of €5m (£3.9m) a year. Though we'd have loved it if he had stayed, his leaving is far from acrimonious and is not at all suprising. Money would've been the deciding factor, not to mention the opportunity to play for the great AC Milan.

Flam has really been the backbone for us this year, the anchor which enabled us to do all the stuff we've done upfront. He really was a pivotal player for us. He always had this never give in spirit, and the hard work he put in on the pitch is the stuff of legend.
 
The Flamster was also the kind of character that drives the rest of the team. He will be missed by one and all. All the best Flamster!

Now that that's a part of the past, Arsene must look to replace the terrier, but you would agree that's not going to be the easiest thing in the world.
 
Vital Football takes a look at who from the current team could possibly step into the Flam's vacant position now. However any replacement from within our fold will have to be temporary, ideally we will have to acquire someone. You never know though, Wenger could spring one, another one on us!

Jens speaks here about his tearful farewell, and about what he leaves behind at Arsenal.

A couple of days and a couple of players lost, and important players at that. Arguably we wouldn't have to replace Mad Jens right away, but the Flamster we would need to replace pronto!

Well Flamini's departure has been a downer, could I stick my neck out here and say Arsene's got it covered? Yes I would.
 
Till tomorrow then.
