probably like how many other clubs have been in the same position to. it happens on occasion.

i'm sure chelsea would've liked to get some money for anelka too

Anelka is passed 30, passed his peak and not their main player or someone built up to be a future star player. There is a big difference.

You've been defending this point from day one as if the club and Wenger haven't made a mistake. As if we haven't been down this road before with other players. They really should know better even if it does happen with other clubs. Burnt once, you should learn your lesson, right?

I said months ago when this all started that we should have tied him down when he had two years left on his contract and a whole host of excuses came out, exempting the Wenger from blame and saying he's not responsible for contracts...etc.

Months later, we find out that Wenger has made a 'technical decision' which overrules the board and has decided to keep Nasri even if we lose him on a free. If Wenger has no say on player contracts, then how comes he's able to make such a decision?

It was silly to let him get past two years on his deal and Wenger came out and slung mud at Manure for allowing Rooney to get past the two year period on his contract when they we're having problems. Low and behold we find ourselves in the similar position. He should know better because he spoke on the dangers of allowing a player to get past two years of his contract. Was that all hot air?

As time passes Nasri looks like a bigger and bigger cunt. We've offered him the contract, he won't sign it. It's all about greed with this cunt even though he tries to come across as the black and white straight talker. He's anything but. I fucking hate ugly lesbians.

Obviously tasty lesbians are okay.

You may think it's greed, but I don't. If I worked for a stingy company that were so tight with their money they refused buy new equipment for the office even though it would benefit us, I'd be questioning the management and their ambition. Staying at such a place for 5 - 8 years wouldn't be a part of my plan. If we all think these sort of things about Arsenal, the club we've all been supporting for most of our lives, what do you think the players are thinking and they've only been with us for 3/4 seasons?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Looks like it. . . bit gutted, not because I thought we had a hope on hell of getting him but because Utd seem to be showing all how to get deals done, dont seem to be get ting in a fluster about the price of a pint. . . .different league but where will Wes fit in?

Well its easy for them to get him, no one was fighting for him and UTD knew the price they could pay Inter won't raise it to silly amounts and i suppose The mancs can give hima good contract tbh.

But if city come in with a bigger offer he is going there. Money talks.

Arshavin linked with some Russian pub team

Andrey Arshavin has ruled out moves to Real Madrid and Anzhi Makhachkala and pledged his future to Arsenal.

The 30-year-old failed to display his best form for Arsenal last season and has just one year remaining on his present deal.

He has held talks with the Gunners board over a 12-month extension but as yet, a deal has not been concluded.

Rumours have been circulating that the diminutive playmaker could be heading for Real Madrid, but he has steadfastly rejected that rumour.

Invented
"They are things invented on the internet," he told the Evening Standard.

"More than one time I have said that this season I will play in Arsenal colours. I would not play for Real Madrid for all the money in the world.

"For me, Real is a complete taboo because I'm an admirer of Barcelona."The Russia captain has also been linked a move back to his homeland with ambitious Makhachkala.

They were taken over by Russian billionaire Suleyman Kerimov in January, and are now trying to attract some of Europe's stellar names to their project.

Approached
Inter Milan's Samuel Eto'o has been approached about signing for the club and Arshavin also has been linked.

But he stresses they would be wasting their time if they contacted him.

He told Sport Express newspaper: "I've already said, and can only repeat, that this season I will be at Arsenal.

"I haven't received any proposals from Makhachkala. I have not had any contact with the club or its representatives."

Here we go again

if it was a regular occurrence then sure, i'd hammer the manager. but it isn't. things like this happen occasionally.

I hear what you're saying but he's not working for WHSmith, he's a first team player at Arsenal. In the ideal world that means he has a responsibility to himself, the club AND the fans. I know that's not how it works any more, but that's what I mean when I call him a greedy cunt. Greedy not just for the money but for everything that's good for Samir Nasri and fuck it if the club gets hurt in the process. The greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy cunt could sign a two year deal with a buyout clause, instead he's happy to do the year and fuck us over at the end of it. Big fat signing on bonus for him and higher wages. Yeah sure, it's frustrating for all of us, players and fans alike, that Wenger and the board are so up their own arseholes. But we don't fuck off and support the spuds do we? Or worse, slash the team bus tyres before we go. Plus he's ugly. Rest my case.

Cahill has 1 year left, or so we're constantly told.

IT tends to support your theory that such things happen occasionally.

[Fats]

Good then we can get him on a free next season to make us all feel better that Van Persie wants out

I hear your point about us being stiffed. But if Man City are willing to pay £25m, it's not that bad. I'm 50/50 with Nasri. I see potential but also see a cowardly scumbag, but that's just talking about his performances on the pitch. But I can understand him wanting to leave this club. For some reason we can't hold on to our players and I also think Wenger will exploit a players loyalty and feed them that 'give me more time' jive.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

£25mil for Nasri is good business now as I believe that he his head is not with the club anymore. If we get the full amount up front along with £25mil we'll be getting up front for Cesc we'll be able to get in a quality defender and hopefully cough up the extra for Mata. I doubt Wenger will be looking at a keeper, if he was in the hunt for one I reckon we'd have had him in for pre season.
