Summer Mercato 2011

I don't why what problem fans here have with Flamini? What else you expect from him? He is a player who does the dirty job in the midfield like Bushquets. So why he should be sold? Him and Boateng are the future of ACM midfield

I think the main issue is the salary. Of course it is not his fault that we offered him that high salary, but we were hoping that he could deserve that high pay. Well, he has lived up to this expectation yet. His dedication is beyond doubt, but he still hasn't gelled into the team after three years. His skills aren't the best either which I don't see any room for further improvement considering his age. So basically, he is getting the "star" pay but he can't even consistently play in the first 11, so it is not right.

I am one of those who want him out, also because I would like for us to recoup some of the money before he become Bosman. I don't mind if he stays and gets an Antonini-like salary, or heck, double that - which is still much less than even half of what he earns now.

I heard that he refused to sign an extension with reduced salary (I read it somewhere but forgot where, can anything confirm?), and it looks like he is on his way out sooner or later, considering where our club is now directing itself, financially.
