Great news regarding Cesc & Nasri. Hopefully we'll tie Nasri down to a long term contract and then he'll inevitably leave next summer.Quote:

I think we'll sign one more player but I really don't know what position. It should be a defender really.
not sure what to believe but I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for Wenger vs Nasri talks, would have been interesting to hear what he said to convince Nasbo that we have the same ambitions as himQuote:

Youth team budgets and first team budgets are separate.Quote:

So sure blame Brady for blowing most of his budget on one player, but don't blame him for spending the money he is obliged to.
it's wenger's fault ffs!Quote:

Nasri would have been a big loss in terms of his talent, but the carry on surrounding the player stinks of cunt.
Cesc is obviously a brilliant player, but IMO, we need to change our game.
I was hoping for a real refresh of the squad. I'm still hoping we bring more in, but sadly it appears we're gonna start with much of the same.
unforgivable if nasri is allowed to stay without signing a new contract. sackable offense by wenger if he then leaves on a free next summer.
how dare the club talk about how money is tight, cant compete with the big spenders, living within means, ticket prices must go up etc if we then pour £22m down the drain. that would be more wasteful than anything man city have done to date. absolutely disgusting.
Ok, well thats the first Ive heard of separate budgets for the 1st and youth team.Quote:

Time for the club to stop pissing money away on the youth team for a year and chuck all the spare money into transfers for the 1st team.
Who said we were ever in for half these players. Seems like papaer BS to me and VDV or Modric why would we buy them when we have fab who is better then both and plays in the same posititon as him.Quote:

Just got a text from a mate in germany, according them we have agreed a 7-8mil deal to sign per mertesacker. good player imo but slower turn than jupiter orbiting the sun! but maybe some german organisation and steel is what we need at the back
