Oh, that would make more sense although £30 million or so was only really touted for Wesley. Most of the United fans said they wouldn't mind him in on a very low fee, but I don't think even the most delusional Arse-nauts would say he's anything near the £30 million mark.

'Andy Carrol/Man City' arguments below please.

Keep in mind Wesley is on a long contract, as was Carroll, Nasri's deal is up in a year, I'd be insanely happy if we got 15mil for him. Making him one of the best paid at the club, if not the best paid at the club, when he's not even in the top 5 best players at the club is a laughable idea.

He'd not do anything at Utd though, the only role he's "good" at is the withdrawn striker role,

Nasri got more goals, dissappeared in 85minutes of every game to do so. This happens to flavour of the month players, Rooney gave up his midfield/harassing game and got 25+ goals, he dropped deep again and he lost almost 2/3rd's of his goals. THeres always a cost but at first glance a player doing abnormally well in one department looks to be having a great season, some are, some improve their whole game or one part without ruining the rest. Nasri became useless but got a few goals, an overall big drop in usefulness to the team.

ANyway, with a season left on his deal, 6-8mil is probably a fair price for a not far above average player, 15mil is hilarious, letting him walk at the end of next season for free is just dumb so we're best off selling asap.

He's on the Beeb now saying he's not sure and waiting to see if the UTD rumours are true. He's a goner alright in my eyes.

Considering how much other players have transferred for it's disappointing that we're going to get so little for him. For all our knowledge about him being not that great we should in today's prices get around £12-14m, but knowing it's us we'll probably as you say get around £8m, maybe another £3m or so with appearances. It's a pity that if we were Spurs we'd be able to get a decent price. He's easily "worth" a Carrick. It needs saying again that for a club where finances are so important our transfers don't read as great as people often think.

He's a bargain at that price and already used to the league. In an ideal world if he wishes to leave the move would fall through and he'd have a blinder of a year next year. Heck Wenger may reward him with a contract he really wants. And as said already, it's disappointing that when the squad needs an overhaul of midfielders he's leaving. Rosicky, Denilson, Diaby, Theo and Bentdner are all weaker than him. :/

The other worrying thing is that what Denilson said is starting to bear fruit with the rest of the squad. They might all be wanting out and feel it's better now to jump ship. Considering some of the comments we've heard from other players, Cesc we all know is waiting for Barca to offer enough. So is Bentdner with anybody who apparently wants him. There's something off going on, 2 wins after the Carling Cup final means a whole lot isn't right. Liverpool have sorted themselves out now, City have got into the Champions League and will likely stay there. It's us, Liverpool and Spurs for next year's 4th spot and Liverpool with their new found money are most likely to get there. They probably all want to leave so they can demand high contracts.

I just hope Wenger manages to sort things out. I think he knows this will probably be his last chance at getting us some silverware before the board seriously consider his future.

He'd be stupid not to! Next season will probably be the toughest out of the 6 trophy-less ones. Liverpool, City, United, Chelsea and Spurs (not really :P) could all easily finish in the top 4. If we don't improve our squad we'll probably be playing Europa League football in 2012/13

The problem is, and I've said for ages, is Nasri's attitude, he's not a Gallas, he's not a winner, he's a petulant child, you see it on the pitch, you see it off the pitch, you see it in the way he talks in interviews.

He has the Adebayor hyper inflated view of his abilities, but look what happened with Ade, he spent the summer the year before he left trying to get a move anywhere for more money, and eventually we over doubled his wages, paid him millions extra for one season, though that did get us a good fee that was ONLY because City are retarded with fee's, without City around he still would have forced his way out of the club, for a crap fee, after we spent millions extra.

We should never have rewarded that behaviour, nor a not very good player to such a massive pay rise, but we did as Wenger has no idea who is good and who is bad in the squad. Wenger won't want to sell to Utd, meaning Nasri is either likely to walk out next season for no money and play rubbish and put in no effort this season just like Ade did, or we'll offer him exactly what he wants, but he'll be waiting like Ade to leave next season anyway and he'll play crap all season.

These are so obviously the wrong players, but Wenger so obviously doesn't realise this anymore, his objectivity over who we should keep/get rid of and who we should give massive contracts to and who we should put in their place, is a complete joke.


We won't buy the right players, as Wenger has no clue whats wrong, he's said this HIMSELF on multiple occasions now. He can't instill that winning spirit anymore, thats done, thats not coming back. He can't see when someones ridiculous attitude is costing the club badly, he's ditched anyone that any players don't all get on with very well so we have this nice club where everyones best friends, but no one knows how to win a freaking game.


This is why theres just a huge long list of managers who would improve Arsenal, anyone with any outside objective views of the team would get rid of those players Wenger can't even see shouldn't be there.

Dont worry about it, wiki's so unreliable for this kind of stuff for the reason you mentioned.

Some guys on RAWK made an edit on the page about our owners (FSG/NESV) saying they had entered a partnership with Sheik Mohammed Bin Loadedla, and he would be investing millions in LFC and the baseball team etc etc..

Funny thing is - a US paper went with the story .. i thought the name would have given it away.
 
Apparently Man U have been told to raise their bid for Modric. Not sure how much that bid was though. God damn smelly mancs always poaching our players.

Yup. I hear Wenger has decided to forgo his summer holidays so that he has time to rebuild the squad. Either Nasri goes or signs a new contract I can't say I'm that bothered which of the two happens, but Wenger had better not just let him walk for nothing next summer. If Fabregas goes and we also sell the hangers on like Diaby, Eboue, Denilson, Almunia, Rosicky then Wenger has a massive amount of building, that's almost all of our regular bench as well as two starting 11 midfielders.

No idea who he is looking at bringing in, there's so many names mentioned and I bet none of them hold any water. If Fabregas is sold I expect him to bring in a proper midfielder though, none of this promising 18 year old bull****. I wouldn't sell Arshavin, I changed my mind a few times about him but even though half the time he looks lazy and disinterested he does have an end product a lot of the time whether it's a goal or an assist and I think I read in a newspaper the other day that he's played less games than Nasri in the league in total for Arsenal but assisted more and scored more. He'd be better centrally though, he isn't a winger nor should he play as one.

As long as Wenger brings in the right players then I won't really complain. The season just gone it was hard to totally blame Wenger for everything, we had the most difficult knockout round of the CL that we could possibly have had, we got to a cup final and we were in contention for the league for the majority of the season. In my opinion it's the poor player mentality that cost us ultimately and that can only be solved by buying players who have actually won things and have the grit and resolve to want to win, which the bunch of kids doesn't have.

6-8m for nasri?

are you having a laugh when andy carroll and Torres have cost 80m in combination?

nasri is easily a 25m+ player.

EASILY.

Yes, but his contract runs out next summer, so clubs know they don't have to spend massively to get him to come, they can wait 1 season and pick him up for free (plus signing on fees and what have you). Arsenal don't hold any cards when it comes to selling Nasri, unfortunately, but if this was sorted out last summer then we wouldn't be in this position. It's similar to what we did with Chamakh.

lol 25m pull the other one. If he doesn't want to stay and you only have a year before losing him for nothing then he'll be nowhere near that much

if we sell him for 6-8m we would be a laughing stock of a club. Toss in the fact we would sell him at a loss too as im sure we bought him originaly for just a tad over 10million?

The fee was undisclosed but believed to be around £12,000,000. We'd be an even bigger laughing stock if we let him go for nothing.
