haha, fine then
i believe he deserves the pay raise and the money and this is why. Him and Cesc have been our best players over the last 3 years arguably. His first season he was voted player of the season on here. he came 2nd on Arsenal.com. His first seasonn was better than Jacks first season with us and everyone creams themselves over him. His second season started out with him having his his leg broken and out for 2 months at the begining of the season, not the greatest start and i believe this was the reason of his poor form. He even admitted that this was the reason , I posted the interview on the other Nasri thread. This season has been his best season to date. 15 goals this season and was mentioned alongside Messi, Ronaldo and others as one of the best players in the world. Fantastic return on a 23 year old Id say. Hes been getting better and better every year and will only continue to get better.
I truly believe under a different manager he would be more consistent and he could be to Arsenal what Ronaldo was for United. If we had a manager who would play him in his preferred position and that would tell him to be more selfish and direct this could be possible.
Theres a difference Adebayor took the money which was fine but he started to put in half assed performance then fecked off at the first chance. I was an Adebayor fan before he left the club in the way he did. I even touted him to become better than Drogba until his massive ego got in the way.
Its funny how many people want a player (like Nasri) to leave, just because of a few quotes in the paper, and then blame Wenger for not keeping onto our best players.
Nasri is class, we should be paying him near Cesc money tbh, their the same age and Nasri has many qualities that Cecs doesnt have- (pace, dribbling..)
although I don't like to hear the so called 'quotes' I still think that Nasri can offer Arsenal a lot, but not out wide........in the beginning I thought that the truth behind the Nasri story was related to seeing what Cesc was going to do, Nasri would much prefer and would be better in the AM role which at the moment is Cesc's
if we can cash in on Cesc then there is no reason why Nasri cannot make that position his, he has tenacity and the skills to do well there. I rate Cesc very much and it would be hard to see him walk away but we know that the club cannot go through the same 'don't know what the hell is going on' roller coaster ride every year. If Nasri is to stay then we may not be able to keep Cesc or visa versa........it may not hurt to give Nasri more but this time I would tie him down with a similar length contract we got Cesc to sign and in hindsight that wass only done so we don't lose him to the Bosman ruling rather than Cesc having an intention of seeing it out!
Let him go if we wants to go.
Soon he'll come crawling back like a bird on it's belly.
There is no way we should sell Nasri to manure. Offer him a contract extension and if he declines send him to spain/italy. Arsenal should not be in the business of strengthening other premiership sides teams.
Nasri is a very good player who with ramsey and wilshere will make a very strong midfield trio.
Nasri is good and everyone knows that he has the ability to change the game, whether it is true or not I think that the bad vibes have come from what seems an abilty to not keep his mouth shut
think there is a game of poker going on hete and the Cesc situation is close to it
a Cesc transfer will free up money for salary and provide a larger transfer kitty
am I shouting from the rooftops for Cesc to go! No ...
but I dont think we are a bad team without him and I run the wrath of some by saying we could be better if we spend wisely
a combination of Nasri, Wilshere Ramsey or Song in the centre would not be a bad start
