Apparently the wage structure is a necessity. So maybe, people will stop crying because the club refuses to give some extra money to Mr Flamini.

For the record if there is any truth in this (although i highly doubt it) then he can take a running jump.
Who does he think he is? Before this season he was a squad backup player and because of one good season he thinks he can hold us to ransom? **** him! We can replace him easily. Defensive midfielders grow on trees.

At AC Milan he will get a nice signing on fee as well and there is no way we can match something like that. It wouldn't surprise me. If they pay him £75k a week and give him a £3.5mill signing on fee that would bring him close to this £7.5mill figure they are saying. He won't get that much for every season he is at Milan but possibly in his first year. He had two storming matches against them and he is coming in on a free transfer so the wages will be heavily inflated.
Are the Daily Mail reliable? They aren't for political issues I can say that much
But so far this season they have usually come out with reliable team news for us when they break something a day or two early and some of the stuff they have said about us has been reliable.

Bear in mind the 144k could easily be dollars or even euros.
I suppose when you add the worth of the signing-on fee, the weekly figure of £140k could well be true.JazzG said:At AC Milan he will get a nice signing on fee as well and there is no way we can match something like that.

As I understand we've offered him roughly £50k a week. Surely offering a signing-in fee would represent better value for money for us, than having to stump up transfer fees for a new centre-mid?
Hopefully the promise of first-team football with us, as well as the fact that he is settled in London and, perhaps, the promise of CL football at Arsenal would compensate for the slightly reduced weekly wage.

I wouldn't mind receiving the weekly difference for even a short while.

It's the Daily Mail, bullsh*t is what they're renound for. Does Flamini suddenly think that he's the best midfielder in the world to demand such wages? I doubt itkym7224 said:
My heart says he'll stay but head says he's gone. I've already mentally prepared myself for him not being here next season. A real shame if he goes but he's not irreplacable.
Yes, slightly reduced.Long Time Gooner said:Slightly reduced!!!!!!Guillermo said:I suppose when you add the worth of the signing-on fee, the weekly figure of £140k could well be true.JazzG said:At AC Milan he will get a nice signing on fee as well and there is no way we can match something like that.

If we offer him a deal worth £55k a week in addition to a £3m signing-on fee, it'd be slightly less than that suggested Milan offer (that's if, of course, that speculated £140k includes the signing-on fee).
I'm not sure I agree with giving Flamini the lump sum, but it would be cheaper than forking out, say, £15m on Gareth Barry (who would also demand a signing-on fee as well as a hefty wage package).

144k a week for 4 years.... that could buy any world class player AND pay the wages to replace him. If it's true, i say FLAMS OUT!!!

Whichever way you describe it that's an insane amount of money particularly for someone at Flamini's level.Guillermo said:Yes, slightly reduced.Long Time Gooner said:Slightly reduced!!!!!!Guillermo said:I suppose when you add the worth of the signing-on fee, the weekly figure of £140k could well be true.JazzG said:At AC Milan he will get a nice signing on fee as well and there is no way we can match something like that.

Everyone is going crazy because of a ****ty Daily Mail article. Anyone can write anything in a newspaper (as long as it isn't slanderous). Please don't believe this. They have pulled £144,000 a weak right out of arse.
