More stories now saying Nasri has definately refused a new contract and if he has to will play out a year and leave on a free.
Arsenal with another ridiculous plan, I've said before the issues isn't if he stays or not, when a player trys to leave and you reward this with a massive pay increase to try to get them to stay, and he still turns you down. Well, you look pathetic, weak, ridiculous AND you make other players who stay think, well why are you offering him 115k a week, wheres my pay bump, I actually want to stay.
The second it was clear Nasri wanted to leave and refused a circa 80-90k contract, that should have been it, tell City they can have him for 20mil, great piece of business, no upset players, we get a buttload of cash for a player with a year left, great for everyone.
Instead we played the, lets beg a player to stay, offer absurd wages, look ridiculous, lose the fight anyway, look weak to potential players we want to bring in, and upset players who stay, seriously, could we have done anything worse at all?
So lets say best case scenario now, Nasri goes, we get 115k a week, Cesc stays, woo, but now RVP and CEsc are going, wtf, we both had a better season than Nasri, we've both been here way longer, wtf haven't we been offered 115k a week............. whole thing is ridiculous. We've played the wage game so well for so long(for older/best players anyway) yet lately our handling of it has become a joke.
ADebayor, "I want to go to milan, I love them, I love, x, I love Y, I'll play anywhere, how much are you offering sure I'll come", then the summer ends up with Milan telling him to shove it up his ass due to asking for obscene wages. Arsenal reward for this behaviour, double his wages, woo.
