I'm sure Campbell will have left in Jan. he nearly did this time round only for a late injury to hold things up.

hopefully someone will bid for mutch. hopefully sako too.

and we'll grab 4 decent from somewhere.if half of that happens. all positive.

Fair points. Reckon this would be a good deal at this present time then.

Reported in Todays Guardian that we have made enquiries over Flamini and could add him to our 25 man squad as he is a free agent as we only named 24 so have a free slot.

Palace also made last ditch attempts to sign Dale Stephens from the Weed and Johnjo Shelvey from N'Castle

Burnley put in a few bids for Stephens but couldn't reach a deal with Brighton.
I saw Stephens play for Oldham a while ago at 'Boundary Park' when Paul Dickov was their manager.It was bloody freezing !

Glad we didnt sign Shelvey. If we can sign Flamini on a short term free, then that gives us short term cover, and free up resources for longer term better options

If we do get Flamini then I shall be content with our transfer business as a creative midfielder is still our desperate need if we are to make use of Remy & Benteke.

Those who believe that slinging high balls to Benteke will solve our scoring problems are deluded. OK for corners but balls along the ground from a probling midfielder will make the difference.

If we don't get him then our only hope is to use the
unexplored talents of Lee - we have nobody else.

. I don't think Campbell or Appiah would have been in squad if we had brought in players. However as we only had 24 senior professionals all had to be named in 25, if we had more than 25 then only 25 can be in EPL squad. Remember Marange, Dobbie and Garvan in 2013

What should be remembered about Flamini is that he has filled-in at both right-back and left-back, in fact I recall him being played at left-back for Arsenal .Certainly a natural leader who will put his foot in when necessary.

Not a goal-scoring midfielder of course and in terms of his card count :

2015-16 5 yellows from 24 apps Arsenal
2014-15 6 yellows from 33 apps Arsenal
2013-14 10 yellows and 1 red from 36 apps. Arsenal
2012-13 6 yellows and 1 red from 21 apps Milan

So he gets stuck in! What's wrong with that?

I do not understand what is wrong with that. He is clearly a versatile defensive midfielder. We desperately need him. He could save us and not Mutch. His passing game is very good, maybe better than Jedi's. He is a tough tackler, that is why he has had cards. I do not see any problem with him, apart from the fact that he is not our player.

Don't think that will I was suggesting anything was wrong just giving some stats to suggest he gets stuck in.

OK! No problem, Mate, thanks for those stats.
My only problem is the lack of Jedi replacement and Flamini could be perfect.
Thanks again!

Don't know if this has been mentioned but I seem to remember Flamini playing left back for Arsenal during his first spell with them. Could add cover for that position too.
