Yeah bit if Cesc goes, and Nasri goes, and all we buy is Gervinho, I might be loosening my bowels with a fahl before heading to Arsene's front door.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
the problem though is that the chap has got only a year left on his contract which it appears he does not want to renew (and i don't think it's for the sake of wages).
if united are the only idiots willing to fork out 20mil or any thing close to that sum for him we have no choice whatsoever. Should he be sold to barca,milan etc for 5mil?
The issue was letting his contract run down in the first place; selling him to the highest bidder now is a mere insult to an already morbid injury that's been sustained.

‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
Swap deal for the duchman tbh (Wesley)
You sit there bitching and moaning about us acting on financial grounds rather than footballing grounds and then suggest selling one of our best players to the Mancs purely on the basis that no-one else will pay us the same money for him?
read my post again buddy! take your time this time around

I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, that part just didn't seem to chime with what I remember reading from you before.
Whichever way we look at it we're pretty screwed with the Nasri situation.
The situation with him is worse than that of Flamini, Nasri with a long term contract IMHO would fetch in excess of 25million in the current market.
We lose him and we've lost a very important player in the team who will not be immediately replaced like for like.
if you agree with the context within which you extracted that statement, then what is your issue with it?

we have already fucked up with the nasri situation; the best that can be done now is sell him for as much money as we can and re-invest the money back in the squad.
I don't have to agree with the club's idiotic policies on the whole to see that that is the best we can make of a pretty dumb situation in which such policies have gotten us into in the first place.

I agree that we maybe should have been more pro-active last summer to give him an improved contract but just because we have let Nasri's contract run down we shouldn't sell him to the Manc purely because they're offering the most money, that was what you were saying, right? If not, then fair enough I've grabbed the wrong end of the stick but it sounded like you were wanting us to put the financial wellbeing of the club ahead of the footballing side of it, strange given you're so outspoken about the club doing things exactly that way.
