Report after report, rumor after the other, linking the 22 years old Frenchman to multiple clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan. In the end AC Milan is where he will be heading this summer. Flamini told his friends in Arsenal about his move this summer.
Well, I feel that Flamini is a good player and I think him moving now at this time is not a good choice for him. He has well established himself in Arsneal and if he just be patient enough he will be a big star, but it looks like his heart is set on leaving.
On the other hand, another Arsenal player is moving, Aliaksandr Hleb is also expected to head to Italy and play for Inter Milan. I guess he will be replacing Figo.
The real question now is what does Arsene Wenger has in mind? Will we see another season of barely buying players, or getting unexperienced youngsters.

Barack Obama showed up on The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday the 1st of May 2008. He presented the Top 10 List segment titled “Top 10 Interesting Facts about Barack Obama”. I found most of the lines funny.

8. When I tell my kids to clean their room, I finish with, “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message”.
7. Throughout high school, I was consistently voted “Barackiest”.
6. Earlier today I bowled a 39.
5. I have canceled all my appearances the day the “Sex and The City” movie opens.
4. It’s the birth place of Fred Astaire (Sorry, that’s a surprising fun fact about Omaha)
3. We are tirelessly working to get the endorsement of Kentucky Derby favorite Colonel John.
2. This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?

Lately Benitez is feeling the heat in Liverpool and worrying that he might be axed. So DIC rushed to assure him that he would still be their choice to lead Liverpool if they were successful in taking over Liverpool, were they might find themselves paying a gigantic £450 million.
This comes after rumors that Dubai International Capital would install Jose Mourinho this summer, if that happens expect to see many players to leave anfield and most probably follow Benitez.
In my opinion, if DIC actually was able to buy Liverpool, the first thing they should do is hire Roberto Mancini, oh no sorry that will be horrible, they should keep Benitez, but they should invest in a real squad rebuild this summer and buy a striker that can actually seal the deal up front, somebody in the same style as of Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

It is sort of a stretch that ten players are set to leave Barca in the summer, but some reports lately are saying that Barcelona are going to go through major rebuilding of the club this summer. It is sort of clear now that Frank Rijkaard is leaving and Mourinho is taking over.
Barcelona is rumored to sell Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Deco, Lilian Thuram, Edmilson, Rafa Márquez, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Gianluca Zambrotta, Santi Ezquerro and Sylvinho. Some Other rumors also state that Etoo might head to Tottenham.
It does seem a but too much, but I think Barcelona should do something as big as this to be able to compete next season. Although as a Real Madrid fan I wish they stay clueless the same way they are.
Now on the other hand, Barcelona’s shopping list is huge, they have around 40 names to choose from. They must be waiting for Mourinho to take over and choose.
The rumored names on Barca’s Shopping list are as follows:
Defense:
Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Fabricio Coloccini (Deportivo La Coruna) and Ezequiel Garay (Racing Santander)
Midfield:
Seydou Keita and Christian Poulsen (Sevilla), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Attack:
Karim Benzema (Lyon) and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax)
