That English tax doesn't stop at English players. If we sell Nasri and Clichy to rival Prem teams we should be demanding more. The Mancs paid £30m for Berbartov.

More worryingly, there appear to be no takers yet for Dennis Bendtner and Statinho.

and if it is for the amount quoted then you may have a case and I will take back all that I have said about how I think people should not be calling Wenger 'certain names'Quote:
Manchester United are planning a sensational £10million swoop for Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.
although the decision will not be entirely Wenger's
So our two biggest transfer stories involving top players involve Cesc going to Barca and Nasri going to United. Apparently Liverpool are interested in Clichy too... lol.
The summer just keeps getting better and better...
Quote:
ARSENAL star Abou Diaby has risked the wrath of his own fans - by revealing he owns a TOTTENHAM shirt.
And the French midfielder, 25, admits he wears the strip of the Gunners' arch-rivals - given to him by pal and Spurs defender Younes Kaboul - around his house.
He said: "It's more difficult to wear in the street. There you are not safe."
Diaby has not ruled a potential north London switch for either he or France team-mate Kaboul.
He said: "It would be good to play for the same club one day."
Arsene is walking on a tightrope as it. We absolutely should not sell Nasri to United. Selling one of our best players to our better rival is nothing short of crazy. Selling one of our best players on the cheap to our better rivals is suicidal.Quote:

Where are there any quotes about Clichy going to Liverpool?
Have you guys never been involved in a transfer window at Arsenal before?
Wenger says many things.Quote:

You can't trust Wenger to replace outgoings adequately, he's always full of excuses about not signing players who aren't better that what we have and then gets players like Silvestre, Koscielny, Chamakh and Squillaci.Quote:

That's the problem really, you don't really have any faith in his ability in the transfer market. The problem is not really players wanting out, it's that you can almost guarantee the players coming in will be average in comparison.
if the board, who make the final decision remember, decide to, then should he?Quote:

MO & ItsMe have pretty much covered my main concern if Nasri goes, Arsene will try & replace him on the cheap or probably not replace him at all and defiantly state that Vela or some other project needs to develop.
i think he's made it clear he doesn't want to sell him and id be surprised if he does this year - i still think that if the board saw business sense in taking some money instead of nothing they may well decide to do so without his consent.
Rubbish. Wenger wouldn't stand for that.
Rovers demanding more dosh!

cheers
Those Venkys' are expert hagglers...
lol at these last few pages.
Jeez.
A clearout is what is needed, it's what many wanted, and I don't give a fuck about nasri or clichy.
It's 99 percent Bullshit anyway, but if we end up selling on mass, I'll be quite content. The air is stale at the club, and mass changes are what is needed.
We want a change right? We ain't getting rid of Wenger, right? Therefore, clear the decks and build a fucking team with some bollocks. It may not happen, but this seems to me the best and most radical option, short of changing manager.
Something needs to happen at this club, and if it means wholesale changes, I'm well up for it. We might get our Arsenal back.
We're not making changes. We're following the same pattern as the 2008 season collapse. Sell off key first team players and replace them with youngsters.
No player is bigger than the club. Sorry, but like adebayor, if they want out, they can fuck off, and I don't give a shit about the money. We're well run enough to cope with that.Quote:

All we can do is wait and see, frustrating as it is. But let's wait for the summer to pan out, and if things haven't been righted properly, he'll have tied his own noose, and he'll be hounded out, sorry and sad and bitter as it will be.

However.
Reports this morning say that we are after Samba & Cahill, also Gervinho & Hazard, add to that Alex O-C, Jenkinson and This Alvarez chap and if we made a push and got them all, I wouldnt be to worried tbh.
Of course this is probably all bollox and we'll end up with some more kids :shrug:
That's exactly what was said in 2008. Hleb, Flamini and Ade's form dipped towards the end of the season and they couldn't raise their game to help us win the title. It's the same pattern with the same argument. The same was said when Henry, Pires, Gilberto and Ljunberg were flopping...let the kids have a go. They've had a go and it's the same collapse.Quote:

If Nasri goes, we won't be selling Cesc. Barca are the only team we'll sell to for that one, and if they don't stump up the cash, 45 mil, they won't get him. Pure and simple.
Mate. Clichy has been responsible for some howlers, and is not getting any better. I've wanted rid of him for a couple of years now.Quote:

I want quality and experience mind, so if he does replace with kids, I'll go fucking mental.
Yeah, Flamini and Hleb have lit the world up with their performances since then so that was a bad move.Quote:

From BBC:
http://www.marca.com/2011/06/10/futb...307683781.htmlQuote:
1010 BST: Barcelona have offered 30m euros plus striker Bojan Krkic and midfielder Thiago Alcantara to Arsenal in exchange for skipper Cesc Fabregas.
I think Cesc maybe going :shrug:
Wenger was reluctant to sell them and his philosophy is based on stability and keeping team together. Steady progression. The following season we had a real nightmare and lot of fighting in the squad. The 2008 season was our best in years and the first time we finished on 80+ points. We haven't topped that total since they left. As individuals, they may not have lit up the world, but they worked in the squad and we don't know what could have been if we had built on that team. They haven't done much since leaving us but we haven't either. Works both ways.Quote:

They've been replaced with better players now though, which is the way of things so whilst I agree it's a repeating pattern I just tend to think that it's the natural way and if someone wants to find problems in it, they will.
No thanks, Bojan is too lightweight to play a central role in a 4-3-3. And Thiago would want to go back to Barcelona after a few years with us. Give is Keita, Afellay etc instead.
