How is keeping Nasri a good thing, he's average, he won't improve when Cesc goes, (not because of it anyway) his worst performances this season have been when trying to be the playmaker for the team, he's not built for it.
His attitude stinks, he's a petulant child and too keep him we'll have to make him at the least, as well paid as RVP/Cesc, by the sounds of the offer he's had already and is stalling on signing, he wants to be the best paid member in the squad. How will that effect Arsenal long term, Nasri gets 100k a week, so RVP if he stays moves to 130k as he's a FAR FAR better player or RVP is off, we sign a big name replacement for Cesc and he wants 200k a week?
Nasri should never, ever have been offered what he was, a minor bump after a 3 month good spell and 6 months of uselessness and being truly woeful when needed most.
Rewarding him massively for a not very good season is just a joke, it would be Wenger, not knowing what to do flinging money at the wrong players.
I'd prefer Nasri left on a free than we absolutely destroy the wage structure and get ourselves into deep doodoo.
Defensively, Djourou shouldn't be anything but backup, Kos shouldn't be backup and Verm is our only quality defender right now.
Clichy would come good if we played in a way that used fullbacks and his pace effectively, right now he's a waste, but it will cost us significantly to sell him and get someone better in, so thats just bad business, Gibbs is a joke.
We need to get rid of Nasri, Diaby, Denilson, Sagna, buy a right back, keep Clichy, buy a CB, ditch Squillaci even if its just a loan to get his wages off our books. We won't sell Theo but we desparately need to stop playing him as a right winger, we need to buy a right winger, and play Arshavin consistantly.
With Wenger, none of that will happen. If Hiddink, or, Rijkard, a bunch of managers, Hughes even, I could see us really working hard to ditch the dead weight and bring in the right players, move back to a system that suits the team, with Wenger, I don't trust who he'll buy, how he'll use new/current players, injury issues, no rotation, ridiculously sticking by our worst players, etc.
