Man City will only be kicked out of europe as top punishment but then I'm sure the FA will have to follow suit as they are spineless monkeys and will then punish them further but, seriously would they be that stupid to actually break the rules? They can claim they did not know the full extent of the rules as they never set any in stone, it is a judgement call really.

Did you see the rumour about Newcastle wanting Bridge and City actually asking for 2m JUST to take him on loan?
You know when you're a kid and after every Christmas you'd have to phone up your family members to thank them for all the presents they got you?
No wonder Arsene never signs anyone. He's too busy phoning City to do anything else.

So is Nasri's move expected to go through tomorrow? If the money is spent on anything less than a strong CB and a creative central player I'll be very disappointed in Wenger. We desperately need a left back as well but I think that's asking too much from him.

They dont at all, they have some pretty damn good midfielders as it is.

I don't see how he'll fit in. He doesn't excel on the wing and he doesn't excel in the centre, he doesn't offer anything that they haven't already got. They have the creativity with Johnson, Silva and Aguero, they have the power with Toure and De Jong and then they've got the solid squad players like Milner and Barry. He's a total waste of money for them in my opinion.
David Silva is approximately 3.5 times better than Samir Nasri. Adam Johnson is probably about 1.5 times better. City appear to just be buying for the sake of stopping Man Utd now.
If someone would be so kind as to get Ferguson to register an "interest" in Manuel Almunia, that would be much obliged.

I still don't understand why Almunia hasn't been sold yet. That either suggests that nobody wants him, or we haven't "advertised" him. It looks like even Mannone is above him in the pecking order now, I do feel a bit sorry for him but I guess it's because he has a bit of a sad face.

Surely someone like Malaga or PSG would have taken him from us.

Of course they don't need him. He is very similar to Silva (but not as good) so I can't see him starting many games unless Mancini is planning to change tactics and drop one out of De Jong, Toure and Milner/Barry.
Man City's typical transfer policy is sign either a) flavours of the month or b) anyone targeted by United. Nasri can only be going there for the money because surely he recognises he would be a key man for United? After this saga I don't want him though. Thought he was a **** before, then he gained some of my respect when he didn't agitate for a move despite all the speculation and then he lost it all when he did.

I posted about it few pages back. As I said there, hes a 3rd choice LB. That price should be to buy him, and even thats a generous fee!!
This may be me being biased but
Nasri at City = meh
Nasri at United = drool
Just can't see Nasri being anything other than bit part player at City in the same way Johnson & Milner are whereas at United he'd be played week in week out and centrally. Looks like we've admitted defeat in this one though

Probably. I'm not sure why he's getting that much money when there seems to be no competition for his signature as Arsenal won't entertain a bid from United. It's utterly insane and I really hope UEFA grow some balls and enforce the FFP rules.

Totally agree (if your "rating" isnt unfair to Silva / AJ lol) , does this mean Nasri is being bought for City's CC /FAC games , thats even more stupid lol
Admittedly both cant play every game - but they surely have to be first picks I would have thought (baring in mind that imo Silva is probably one of the best in his position in the league as a whole)
i was slated for making such an accusation a few weeks back
