his performance level at the time didnt warrant a higher fee than we paid for him and the price touted now is around 10 mill, pretty much what we wouldve got if he had continued in the same vein. there wasnt much to say he was going to come out the blocks as he did
no but it is wise to proactively protect an asset you value.Originally Posted by Terry Tuffnutz
what you are saying then is that, if we had decided to sell him then, he would have gone for cheap -- I don't think so.
i think he would've gone for between 10-13 based on his performances for two years, which is around the mark he'd go for now. even with a new contract two years ago as performance dictates value and his hadn't increased it. look at it this way, most fans agree he is replaceable now and thats after really beginning to show what hes about so that definitely wouldve been the case two years ago

I think that, when alls said and done, Nasri won't be joining ManUSA. I say that boldly, and you can quote me on it if (and it won't) the day comes that Nasri signs for the Salford Scum.
Vieira flirted with the idea of joining Manchester United in the summer of 2001 when for all the world it looked like he was a goner. Ferguson was practically squirting at the chance of signing Paddy even though there had been no formal discussions. However, not only did Wenger stop Vieira going oop norf, but he also kept him at Arsenal for a few more seasons.
If Nasri is going to leave and he does want to join Manchester United, Wenger will do something similar to what he did with Anelka. Let ManUre do all the forerunning (in Anelka's case it was Lazio) and let the next highest bidder come in to snap him up for while Wenger still harbours ambitions of us competing with the Mancs, there's no way we'd sell our best assets to 'em.
