Who would have thought, last season he was on the way out of the club, now his an indespensible member of the team.
Terrier on the field, plus very good tactically, retain's possession really well and lets the creative boys do there thing. Really complements Fabregas well, Fabregas is in a much more advanced role due to his faith in Flamini.
ATM, he has got to be one of the best in the defensive midfield position this season. I don't see why he wouldn't be rated with best if he keeps doing his thing for another 5 years.

Best defensive midfielder in our league this year, great defensively but also gets forward well giving more options to the likes of Fabregas and Hleb, also a very good passer in his own right but I'll wait and see if he can replicate the same form next season before I start putting him alongside the likes of Essien or De Rossi.

De Rossi and Cambiasso would be slightly higher in any rank for this season, but he's definitely been one of the top three DMs this year IMO.

Cambiasso has been very average though in 2008.

Cesc won't leave. He's signed a contract until 2013 and Flamini is 23.
Mathieu has a very nice attitude towards the game, knows how to play it and scores every now and then.
He's a player that has progressed very nicely the last couple of years :thumbsup:
He can be annoying and you can hate all you want on him, but he's a great player IMO.

Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up.
I admired his attitude and thought he was great for filling in positions when we were short giving 100% but I never thought he was good enough to start for us regularly.
He's proven doubters wrong (mainly Arsenal fans), he's been absolutely outstanding for us. A real defining season for him and he's now a star of the team. Hats off and well done for working so hard for his chance.

you don't have to hold your hands up, last two seasons he was quite an average player, even Wenger thought so otherwise he would have been a regular as Gilberto was hardly setting the world on fire, he has just improved immensely and even since the start of the season he has improved even more.
now sign your contract son.

He knows his limitations, doesn't try to do anything of which he knows he can't. So no fancy tricks, just eliminate the opponent and give the ball to someone who can do something creative with it. He's having a decent season but let's see how he fares if Arsenal's form starts decreasing. I don't think he's the type of player (yet) that others can hang on to when things start going bad.

talentwise I'd say you are right, but Flamini doesn't act like a spoilt little kid when he wasn't playing for two seasons let alone two weeks.Diarra is better;p

Think you are underestimating him there. He really has been pivotal to the team. "Decent" doesn't cover it.

Heard Diarra done very well at Old Trafford yesterday. If he had half of Flamini's character he wouldn't be going far wrong.Diarra is better;

He'd be a good signing for your lot.

the thing is, his value is going up almost on a weekly basis.
he'd be mad to go abroad though, his style is tailor made for EPL, and what we missed all these years playing a meek ball stealer like Gilberto, EPL you need to be pro-active.
