Why Flamini should be on Arsene's radar
Buffon said: "If I had to leave, I think England would be my destination. My desire to leave Juve is equal to that of Juve's will to have me leave. We will see if we will decide for our paths to continue together."
The Mail says the Italy international, 32, had great hopes heading into the 2009-10 campaign but has been disappointed with his side's performances and for a second straight year, Juve will finish the season without any silverware and to make matters worse, with no chance of playing in the Champions League next term. At least we are in the CL, Gigi!
Worryingly, the Mirror says AW is likely to stick with Lukasz Fabianski and Manuel Almunia's but are scouting several keepers with AZ Alkmaar's Sergio Romero and Shakhtar Donetsk's Ukrainian keeper Andriy Pyatov on the list.
But we will not be making Polish keeper Wojciech Szczesny, 20, our new No,1 any time soon, says the paper, as he is being offered round to Championship clubs for a season-long loan next term.

Brentford fans said Szczesny is the best keeper they've ever had at the club. This only goes so far I guess, but I did catch him on The Late Kick Off where his clips looked outstanding and his English was very good too. There is plenty there.
Have a look if you havn't

Seriously he has looked and sounded good enough to replace the other two but Wenger will not rush him to jeopardise his steady growth, all the more reason to go for experience like Buffon over Hart (who I rate btw).
Hart on continual good form would hold Szczesny back longer than a veteran like Buffon although I'd take either of them or Lloris over our two regular keepers.
We also need a goal keeper and center back.
Just sign Chris Samba and have done with it ....
I dont think wenger will go for flamini under any circumstances,p robably parker is a goog option.
o yeah denilson was playing wasnt he
He might buy Diara(if rumours are true) because he at least made some money twice on him when he sold him to Portsmouth, i think one of his worst mistakes was letting him go.
We missed Flamini seriously because he was always consistent unlike Diaby he would have partnered Song very well and Fabregas would have had a wonderful time in the midfield(he will make less tackles and attack more.)
Maybe if Diara wouldn't be expensive he might buy him because Parker or Milner will be very expensive being English players.
I dont think Wenger will buy Balotelli because he doesn't like disruptive players(for example Adebayor, Penant and Owusu Abeiyi).
He has got Chamakh, but a goal keeper he might not buy and he might introduce Johan Djourou like a new signing remember Rosicki's return to the team ?So he might not buy a new defender as well.
If Wenger buys a keeper i will be very surprised, i think he sees it as a waste of money spending high on keepers - but really they should change the Goal keeper coach; something is definitely wrong there.
So there you go I see Arsene Wenger buying only two players, whether Chamakh is one of the 2 is a matter of Wenger surprising us or not.
We need someone with his energy and drive in midfield.
Not sure about Buffon... I thought he was over rated when Juve bought him for record money and he has looked off form this season. I am quite surprised that he would consider leaving seeing as he stayed with juve even when they got relegated. That is real loyalty.
And please don't sign Balotelli. Every time I've seen him he's been lazy and selfish. And if Mourinho can't control him I don't think anyone could. He's definitely a player who puts his own ego before the team and would cost much more than he's worth. Would rather see Hazard in an Arsenal shirt. He has a very good appreciation of team play and a much better attitude.
Jaysus but you're all just desparately reaching.
Flamini will never come back here. He has said after a year even when he was mostly on the subs bench that he didn't regret his decision. That and the fact he let Arsene on for months telling him he would stay, allowing him to sell Diarra and then buggering off in May.
And I think all you guys writiing a list of 4-5 players need to wake up and smell reality.
Wenger will buy 3 players TOPS. I am only expecting 2.
I pray to God one of them is a keeper. He needs to send Fabianski out on loan to the Championship where he'll toughen up a bit and learn the dirty tactics in football. We need to buy a proven keeper to compete with Almunia for top spot. If we got Buffon I would cream my shorts and eat my hat.
I expect Gallas to bugger off, Sol to stay and Wenger to buy another defender and Chamakh and thats it.
Hope i'm wrong but I am going to ignore every transfer rumour with anyone who is well known, anyone who has been linked with Chlesea, Man U, Man City, Real, Barca and Inter cos we won't out-bid them and any rumour that just sounds too good to be true eg. Buffon!
Sorry chaps but if you don't know Wenger by now you never will!!
flamini while playing dm was often out of position and gave up silly fouls around the box.
what arsenal need now in order of priority are: a central defender, a goalkeeper, and a dm who is content to sit on the bench.
Eldo do you write these comments just to see the reaction?
Bring back Hleb... Bring back Flamini...it'll be bring back Henry and bring back Peter Storie and Frank McLintock next, oh and while your at it, why not bring back David Seaman and isn't Jesus Christ due for a second coming?
I can't agree that Hleb and the perennial bench sitter Flamini would strengthen the squad, add to it maybe, but strengthen? I don't think so.
ps, My humble apologies for spelling Peter's name wrongly, I'll take a closer look at your spelling and punctuation in future.
Anyway I dont think is too crazy to dream for Buffon in exchange of Eboue + 18m. (I think they´re only interested on Eboue and VPersie)
And NO to Flamini!!!!! Im soo glad to see Flamini on Milan´s bench and Hleb in a team of his category after they leave us in a bad way.
